IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS - 7 -
12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video product,
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, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, 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. See example below:
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
13 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 into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such power lines
or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be
left to a professional antenna installer.
