POWER SERVICE GROUNDING
ELECTRODE SYSTEM
(NEC ART 2'30. PART H)
Outdoor
Antenna
Grounding
If an outside
antenna
or cable system
is connected
to the High Definition
LCD TV, be
sure the antenna
or cable
system
is grounded
to prevent
voltage
surges
and built-up
static
charges.
Article
810 of the National
Electrical
Code,
ANS/NFPA
70, provides
information
on proper grounding
of the mast and supporting
structure,
grounding
of the
lead-in
wire to an antenna
discharge
unit, connection
to grounding
electrodes,
and
requirements
for the grounding
electrode.
Lightning
For added
protection
for the High Definition
LCD TV during
a lightning
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 High Definition
LCD TV due to lightning
and power-line
surges.
Do not disconnect
the antenna
or the
power cord during
a heavy storm--lightning
may strike while you are holding
the cable
cord,
causing
serious
injury.
Turn
off your
High
Definition
LCD TV and wait for the
weather to improve.
Power
Lines
An outside
antenna
system should
not be located
in the vicinity
of overhead
power
lines
or other
electric
light or power
circuits.
When
installing
an outside
antenna
system,
extreme
care should
be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits.
