the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located
away from power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna
is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna sys-
tem is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with
respect to 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 elec-
trode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so
that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into

to the grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.
