Getting Started
1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE
CONNECTION
An outside antenna or cable system must be
properly grounded to provide some protection
against built up static charges and voltage.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the
Canadian Electrical Code) provides information
regarding proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, con nec tion to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH
VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR
CIRCUITS
Locate an outside antenna system well away
from power lines and electric light or power
circuits so it will never touch these power
sources should it
ever fall. When
installing antenna,
absolutely never
touch power lines,
circuits or other
power sources as
this could be fatal.
