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.
