14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If
an
outside antenna or cable system
is
con-
nected to the product, be sure the antenna or
cable system
is

some protection against
voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code (U.S.A), ANSI/NFPA
70
provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an anten-
na discharge unit, size of grounding conduc-
tors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, con-
nection to grounding
electrodes, and require-
ments for the grounding
electrode.

15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver)

outside antenna sys-
tem, extreme care
should be taken to keep

lines or circuits as
contact with them might be
fatal.
