EXPOSURE
1 INSURE SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
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 Part 1 of the
Canadian Electrical Code, in USA Section 810 of the National Electrica!
Code. ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to prop:,
i
grounding of the mast and suppoding structure, grounding ot the lead-_r
_.,._,.
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
..,,_.,'_'°' of antenna discharge unit, connection togrounding
electrodes and
•_j,_.G,
requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure 1 for items a-d below
a. Use No. 10 AWG (5 3 mm') copper, No 8 AWG (8.4 mm') aluminu r"
,,..:,._
No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm') copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or large
"
_._.: .,._.
ground wire.

b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-of'
_.o,_,,_._ ,.,,-.oo,
insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22 m) to 6 feet (1.83 m) apart.

d. Use jumper wire not smaller than NO. 6 AWG (13.3 mm') copper, or
the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used
See NEC Section 810-210) for installation in USA.
2. ELIMINATE
ANTENNA
PROXIMITY TO HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SOURCES, OR
CHANCE OF ACCIDENTAL
CONTACT BY INSTALLER
An outside antenna system should be located where it will never be reached by power
lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never contact these power sources
if it falls. Installer should use extreme care to avoid possible fatal contact by touchm?
power lines, circuits or other power sources when installing outside antenna

a. Never operate the unit if liquid has been spilled into it. Immediately unplug the u_
I _
have it inspected by a sen/ice technician. Fire and shock hazards can result from
electrical shorts caused by liquid contact inside.
b. Caution the children about dropping or pushing objects into the unit. Some parts
inside carry hazardous voltages and contact can cause electric shock. Objects aropp_._
in electrical equipment can cause fire hazards.
