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. See
Figure 9.
Step 2. The ground wires for both the
mast and the downlead should be cop-
per or aluminum wire, number eight (8)
or larger. See Figure 9.
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. See Fig. 9.
NOTE: In the case of a “ground up”
antenna installation, it may not be nec-
essary to ground the mast if the mast
extends four or more feet int the earth.
Consult a TV serviceman for the proper
depth in your location.
