Final Approach
7. Locate the grounding wire that will extend from the
grounding block to the central building ground. Attach the
grounding wire to the grounding block by placing it through
the wire hole in the grounding block and tightening the
screw.
8. Route the grounding wire from the grounding block to the
central building ground.
9. Route the grounding wire you previously attached to the
foot of the mast (or to your metal pole) to the central
building ground.
10. Ensure that the routing of both grounding wires are secure.
Here are a few important reminders:
• If you are routing the grounding wire along the ground,
make sure the wire is buried deep enough so that it will not
be damaged or uncovered.
• If you are routing the grounding wire above the ground, the
wire and the coaxial cable should be tied together with cable
ties every 3 to 6 feet. Then use cable clips to secure the two
to a wall or surface.
• Make sure you route the grounding wire in an area where
people or animals are not likely to come in contact with the
cable.
