LIGHTNING PROTECTION AND GROUNDING
To provide adequate levels of surge protection during an electrical storm, implement proper grounding techniques during
installation. See Appendix III: Lightning Protection Recommendations for additional information and installation requirements in
lightning-prone locations.
The base unit’s lightning arrestor includes a dedicated grounding point (labeled GND in Figure 3). The lightning arrestor ground
must
be connected to earth ground through a very low impedance connection, such as wire braid or large gauge copper wire
according to local electrical code. The remote amplifier provides a dedicated grounding screw which must be utilized.
