JOUTSIDE ANTENNA, EQUIPMENT, AND POWERLINE EXPOSURE
1 INSURE SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against built up static charges and voltage surges Part 1 of the
Canadian Electrical Code, in USA Section 810 of the National Electrica!
Code. ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to prop:,
i grounding of the mast and suppoding structure, grounding ot the lead-_r
_.,._,. wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
..,,_.,'_'°' of antenna discharge unit, connection togrounding electrodes and
_j,_.G, requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure 1 for items a-d below
a. Use No. 10 AWG (5 3 mm') copper, No 8 AWG (8.4 mm') aluminu r"
,,..:,._ No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm') copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or large "
_._.: .,._. ground wire.
' b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-of'

Figure 1 ......... o...... d. Use jumper wire not smaller than NO. 6 AWG (13.3 mm') copper, or
the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used
See NEC Section 810-210) for installation in USA.
2. ELIMINATE ANTENNA PROXIMITY TO HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SOURCES, OR
CHANCE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BY INSTALLER
An outside antenna system should be located where it will never be reached by power
lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never contact these power sources
if it falls. Installer should use extreme care to avoid possible fatal contact by touchm?
power lines, circuits or other power sources when installing outside antenna
