12 POWER-CORD PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the unit.
Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
13 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984
