HOW TO PROVIDE LIGHTNING
PROTECTION FOR TV ANTENNA
AND SET
Step 1. Mount the lightning arrestor or 75 ohm coaxial ground-
ing block as close as possible to where the 75 ohm coaxial
cable downlead enters the house. See Figure 9.
Step 2. The ground wires for both the
mast and the lead-in should be copper or aluminum wire, num-
ber eight (8) or larger. See Figure 9.
Step 3. The lead-in wire from the antenna to the ground-
ing block and the mast ground wire should be secured to the
house with stand-off insulators, spaced four (4) or six (6)
feet apart. See Figure 9.
NOTE: In the case of a “ground up” antenna installation, it may
not be necessary to ground the mast if the mast extends four
or moure feet into the earth. Consult a TV serviceman for the
proper depth in your location.
Step 9: Mounting Antenna to Mast
A. Loosen nuts on the main boom and brace mast clamps.
B. Slide both mast clamps over the mast pointing the front of
the antenna (small end) towards stations and tighten the
boom brace mast clamp securely.
C.Let the main boom mast clamp slide down the mast until the
boom brace supports the main boom.
D. Tighten the main boom mast clamp securely.
(See Figure 8 for correct mast clamp assembly)
Step 10: To prevent wind whipping, the 75 ohm coaxial cable
downlead may be secured to the mast by either taping it or use
of plastic wire ties.
