Note
to
CATV
system
installer
This reminder is provided
to
call the
CATV
system
installer's attention
to
Article 820-40 of the
NEG
(of
USA)
that provides guidelines for proper grounding.
In
particu-
lar,
it specifies that the cable ground shall be connected
to the grounding system
of
the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as is practical.
18.
Use proper power sources - Plug the product into
a proper power source, as described
in
the operating
instructions
or
as marked on the product.
19.
Avoid power lines- Use extreme care when
installing an outside antenna system
to
keep from
touching power lines
or
circuits, as contact with
them may be fatal. Do not install external antennas
near overhead power lines
or
other electric light or
power circuits, norwhere
an
antenna can fall into
such circuits
or
power lines.
20.
Ground all outdoor antennas- If an external
antenna
or
cable system is connected
to
this
product, be sure the antenna
or
cable system is
grounded. This will 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
ground electrode. Refer
to
the antenna grounding
illustration on this page.
