Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna/satellite or cable system is to be connected to the LCD TV, make sure that the antenna/satellite or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

For added protection of your LCD TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the LCD TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna/satellite or cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power lines or circuits.
