grounding methods are not possible, have a
qualified electrician install a separate circuit
breaker.
Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it to

outdoor antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can come in contact with such
power lines or circuits as death or serious
injury can occur.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against volt-
age surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information
with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes and requirements for
the grounding electrode.
