Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precantions below. An outdoor antemm 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.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antelma system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-np static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respect to proper grmmding of the mast and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antemm discharge unit connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
