Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to 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, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE —a— ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT {NEC SECTION 810-20) GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21) GROUND CLAMPS ТТ POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H) NEC — NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE S52898A Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, ex- treme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. Lightning For added protection for this prod- uct during storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the prod- uct due to lightning and power-line surges.
