Channel Master 900 - Manual (Page 7)

IMPORTANT: Sealing RF coaxial connector:
The copper-plated center conductor in the RF coaxial cable,
which connects receiver to LNB, can experience electrolysis
corrosion at the LNB connector. Moisture and DC current
cause this type of corrosion.To prevent corrosion, apply a mod-
erate coat of silicon grease to the center conductor and then
wrap the entire connection with COAX-SEAL
® tape
to seal.

GROUNDING
Ground pole, antenna mount assembly and feed cables must
be grounded in accordance with current National Electric
Code and local electric codes to protect from surges due to
nearby lightning strikes. The illustration below illustrates a typ-
ical grounding method.
Clamps that provide a solid connection between ground wire
and ground source should be used.
ALL INSTALLATIONS TO CONFORM TO
THE LATEST ISSUE OF THE
NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE.
