The outdoor unit shall be connected to a protective earth with not less than 10 AWG
conductors having green-yellow insulation. The following figure shows the grounding
cable from outdoor unit external screw to adjacent grounding rod. The cable should
be long enough to reach from the mounting pole to the grounding rod with 3 to 6 feet
extra to allow for strain relief.

Protection from Lightning
US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies that radio and
television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or near the point of
entry to the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable from a detached
antenna must have the shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire that connects to
the building ground electrode.
The ground wire shall be terminated with UL listed
lug with a diameter of 0.2 inch
(5.2 mm).
The ground lug will need to be suitable for terminating on aluminum materials, such
as the use of an aluminum connector and aluminum ground conductor.
