Qildoor Antenna

Power lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits because contact with them may be fatal.

outdoor Antenna Grounding - [f an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS1/ NFPA No.70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast anl~ supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, locatlon of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See the figure.
