1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding--If
an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protaction against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

See figure below.

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and un- I
even surfaces may cause the unit and cad combination to overturn.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting--The
