Outdoor Grounding System
If this product connects to an outdoor antenna or cable system, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
(earthed). This provides some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides the following information:
· Grounding of the mast and supporting structure
· Grounding the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit
· Size of the grounding conductors
· Location of the antenna-discharge unit
· Connection to grounding electrodes
· Requirements for the grounding electrodes (see the following antenna grounding diagram as recommended by NEC
ANSI/NFPA 70)
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or power circuits. Touching power lines or circuits might be fatal.
