outdoor antenna should
be located away from power lines.
12. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an
outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be
sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges
an~
built up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSIjNFPA No. 70·
1978, provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an

ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and re-
quirements for the grounding electrode, See
Figure 65.1 below
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and
