2.5 GROUNDING – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Ground the tuner and install the cables from the antennas and from the tuner obeying
safety requirements in S. 1.5. You need to distinguish between different kinds of

2.5.1 LIGHTNING PROTECTION GROUNDING

See the instructions provided in S. 1.5 and Appendix 1. This kind of grounding is used
for lightning protection of people, buildings and equipment, but does not protect
you from voltages or currents with mains frequency or emitted/induced RF signals.

This grounding (or neutralizing in some cases) is used for protection from electric shock
from currents with mains frequency. It will not protect you from a possible lightning or
emitted/induced RF signals.
To ensure that your installation complies with the requirements consult a qualified elec-
trician to find out if simultaneous grounding and neutralizing, according to the rec-
ommendations of S. 1.5, is allowed by the applicable standards and local regulations
for electric shock protection.
