If
an
outside
antenna
or
cable
system
is
connected
to
the
equipment,
be
sure the
antenna
or
cable
system
is
grounded so
as
to
provide
some
protection
against
built
up
static
charges
and
voltage surges. Section
810
of
the National
Electrical
Code.
ANSI/NFPA
70
(in
Canada,
part
1
of
the
Canadian
Electrical
Code)
provides
information with
respect
to
proper grounding
of
the
mast and
supporting
structure,

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.
KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF
HIGH
VOLTAGE
POWER
LINES
OR
CIRCUITS
An
outside
antenna system
should
be
located
well
away
from
power
lines,
electric
light
or
power
circuits
and where
it
will
never
come
into
contact with
these
power
sources
if it
should
happen
to
fall.
When
installing
an
outside
antenna,
extreme care should
be
taken
to
avoid touching
power
lines,
circuits
or other
power
sources as
this
could
be
fatal.
Because
of
the
hazards
involved,
antenna
installation
should
be
left
to
a
professional.
