SAFETY GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
SAFETY GROUNDING MUST be provided to protect equipment, property, and persons from the hazards
of lighting strikes and other weather related electrical discharges. In addition the coaxial cable feeding
the antenna should have the shield grounded to eliminate the risk of any indoor equipment failure that
would allow hazardous voltages to appear indoors creating a shock hazard.
Follow local electrical codes and NFPA grounding and bonding requirements for all grounding. A single
ground rod is not sufficient.
MAINTENANCE
Your antenna is constructed of heavy-duty non-corrosive materials and should withstand normal climates
for many years. The use of some type of coaxial connector moisture protection is recommended at the
bottom coax connection, especially in coastal areas where salty mist is commonplace.
