12. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
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.70-1984 (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part1) provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
13. Power Lines -An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines, 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.
