SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

16.OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to the prod- uct, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis- charge product, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge product, connec- tion to grounding electrodes and requirements for grounding electrodes.
