Outdoor Antenna Grounding--lf
an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the video 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,
Part 1) 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 grounding
electrode. See example below.

13. Power LinesmAn 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 against 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.
