OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION

An outside antenna or cable system must be properly
grounded to provide some protection
against built up static charges
and voltage. Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada,
part 1 of the Canadian
Electrical Code) provides
information regarding proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.

2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH V O LT AGE

POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS

Locate an outside antenna system well away from power
lines and electric light or power circuits so it will never touch
these power sources should it ever f all. When installing
antenna, absolutely never touch power lines , circuits or
other power sources as this could be fatal.
