MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY
GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO
ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS.
This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-
up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna.
The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the
l
building protective ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1
OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.
Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.
l
IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER,
AND CANNOT MOVE:
DON'T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.
l
Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no
l
longer are in contact with electrical power.
Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are
l
certified, and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested.
