CAUTION

POWER LINES
Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

ll an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier, be
sure the antenna system Is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 oi the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No, 70-1984. provides iniormation with
respect to proper grounding oi the mast and supporting stmcture, grounding
of the lead-in win to an antenna discharge unit, size at grounding
conductors, location at antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements tor the grounding electrode.

a. Use No.10 AWG (5,3 mm?) copper. No.8 AWG (8.4 mm) aluminum,
No,l7 AWG (1 ,0 mm?) copper-clad steel nr hrnnze wire, or larger. as a
ground wire.

h. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-oil
insulators spaced trom «HS feet (1.22-1.83 in) apart

c. Mount amenna discharge unit as close as possible lu when; load-in
enters house.

d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm) copper, or the
equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. See NEC
Section 810-21 (5).

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

Thin: reminder is provided to call the CATV system inetatlore ansntlnn in
Article 620-22 oi the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines tor
proper grounding and. in particular. specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the pornt oi
cabie entry as practical.
