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.
Important Safety Notes
If you do not feel comfortable or competent to install this antenna
we recommend that you seek the assistance of a qualified
professional antenna installer.
Read the instructions for this device thoroughly before
attempting installation.
The installation or dismantling of any antenna near power lines is
dangerous. Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured while
attempting to install or service antennas. For your safety and proper
antenna installation, read and follow all safety precautions.
Choose an installation site for safety as well as performance.
All electric power lines, cable lines and telephone lines look alike.
To be safe, assume ANY overhead line can kill you.
Do not place an antenna where it could potentially fall on to, or blow
into a power line. If in doubt call your electric provider. Let them
review your site.
Outdoor antennas should be grounded with an approved
lighting arresting device. Local codes may apply. Use 8 AWG or larger
ground wire.
Height or other restrictions on antennas may apply to
your installation depending on your proximity to an airport,
or local ordinances.
