Example of Antenna Grounding
as per NEC - National Electric Code
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended inter-
national global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its
cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive
pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately
overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic
equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could un-
suspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage
and/or personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power
lines.
20. 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 and built up static charges. Sec-
tion 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70- 1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
a) Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus
should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.
