helps protect against voltage surges caused by
lightning. It aiso reduces the chance of a build-up
of static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Cade, ANSI/NFPA 70, 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 conductors, location of antenna-

Minimum recommended distance for an outdoor
antenna from power lines is one and one-half
times the vertical height of the associated antenna
support Structure. This distance allows adequate
clearance from the power lines if the support
structure should fall for any reason.

radiators, stoves, amplifiers or other devices that
produce substantial amounts of heat.
Cleaning

source when the unit is not used for long periods
of time.
