18) If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment,
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges. In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical
Code 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.
19) 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 such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
