The outdoor dish antenna used to receive satellite signals and the
cable used to connect the outdoor dish antenna to the indoor
receiving unit are required to comply with local installation codes
and the appropriate sections of the National Electrical Code (NEC),
especially Articles 250, 810 and 820. These codes require proper
grounding of the metal structure of the outdoor dish antenna and
grounding of the connecting cable at a point where it enters the
house (or other building). If you are having a professional installer
make the installation, the installer must observe installation codes
in making the installation. The DSS
contains instructions on how to make the installation in compliance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC). If additional local
installation codes apply, contact local inspection authorities.
