Power Unee - An outdoor antenna should be located away Irom
power lines.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding - it an outside antenna is connected
to the receiver. be sure the antenna system Is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges. Section 810 ot the National Electrch Code. ANSI / NFPA
No. 70-1984. provides lnlormatlon with respect to proper ground-
lng at the mast and supporting structure. grounding ol the lead-
ln wire to an antenna discharge unit. size at grounding con-
ductors. location at antenna-discharge unit. connection to ground-
Ing electrodes. and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure.

I- Uee No.10 AWG (5.3 mm?) copper. No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm)
aluminum. No. 17 AWG ( 1.0 mm) copper-clad steel or bronze
wire. or larger. as I ground wire.

b- SIcure antenna lead-In and ground wires to house with stand
-olt Insulators spaced Irom 4-6 leet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart.

0- Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where
lead-in enters house.

d- Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG ( 13.3 mmz)
copper. or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding
