Safety and Operational Precautions
Cautions
The SR-7100 should be professionally installed due to
antenna placement requirements and configuration
of communication ports.
External Antenna Grounding
Make sure that the antenna and radio/controller system is
electrically grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA
70, provides information with regard to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to a discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.
