Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the antenna or

protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70
provides information with regard to 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.

For added protection for this product (receiver)
during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and
power-line surges.

16

Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
