Grounding or Polarization
• Polarized
If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
• Grounded
If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a
plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding
type plug.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to
the FS-2/2E, verify that the
antenna or cable system is
grounded. This provides
some protection against
voltage surges and built-up
static charges.
Refer to Article 810 of the
National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, for
information about the
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. A.
Lightning and Power Surges
During electrical storms or when left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug the FS-2/2E from the power source and disconnect
the antenna or cable system.
Power Lines
Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power
lines, electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such lines or
circuits.
