HOW TO PROVIDE
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
FOR TV ANTENNA AND SET
Step 1. Mount the lightning arrestor or
75 ohm coaxial grounding block as close
as possible to where the 75 ohm coaxial
cable downlead enters the house.
Step 2. The ground wires for both the
mast and the downlead should be copper
or aluminum wire, number eight (8) or
larger.
Step 3. The downlead wire from the
antenna to the lightning arrestor and the
mast ground wire should be secured to
the house, spaced from four (4) to six (6)
feet apart.
NOTE: In the case of a “ground up” an-
tenna installation, it may not be necessary
to ground the mast if the mast extends
four or more feet into the earth. Consult
a TV serviceman for the proper depth in
your location.

NOTE: The amplified MS-3005 antenna now is powered by a 5 VDC power
adapter (included). Previous models may have run on 12 VDC. If replacing a previous
model, the power adapter and inserter will also need replaced.
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF ANTENNAS NEAR POWER LINES
IS DANGEROUS. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS. TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE
POWER SUPPLY TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
