Antenna Removal
Removal of the antenna should be exactly the reverse of the
installation instructions. Please, for your own safety, follow the
instructions for installing the antenna starting with the last step first.
This is the safest method.
Lightning Protection
To protect your house and your TV (FM, CB, etc.) installation, the mast
of your antenna system must be properly grounded.
Antenna masts must be grounded to the same ground used for the
building’s electrical system. This will ensure that all exposed metal
parts are at the same electrical potential. The recommended
method is to run a #10 AWG or larger copper wire in as straight a line
as possible to the building grounding electrode system and must be
connected to the building ground using a UL listed ground clamp.
Also, an antenna discharge unit (sometimes referred to as a lightning
arrester) should be connected to the antenna lead-in at the place
where it enters the home. (Follow the instructions provided with the
static discharge unit.)
