iv
Ground the Product
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fi re hazard!
If this product connects to coaxial cable wiring, be sure
the cable system is grounded (earthed). Grounding
provides some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.
Outdoor Grounding System
If this product connects to an outdoor antenna or cable system,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded (earthed). This
provides some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1990, provides the following information:
• Grounding of the mast and supporting structure
• Grounding the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit
• Size of the grounding conductors
• Location of the antenna-discharge unit
• Connection to grounding electrodes
• Requirements for the grounding electrodes (see the following
antenna grounding diagram as recommended by NEC ANSI/
NFPA 70)
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fi re hazard!
Do not locate an outside antenna system in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or power circuits.
Touching power lines or circuits might be fatal.
