Antenna grounding and safety warning
1. Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna to a
building, should not cross over open conductors of electric light
or power circuits.They should be kept away from all circuits to
avoid the possibility of accidental contact.
2. Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be
connected with an antenna discharge unit. Antenna dicharge
units (or Lightning Arrestors) should be located outside the
building or inside the building between the point of entrance of
the lead-in and the TV, and as near as practical to the entrance of
the conductors to the building.
