Coax grounding: If an outside cable system is connected to the 
unit, ensure that the system is grounded.
U.S.A. models only: Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, 
ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding proper 
grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of 
the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, 
location of discharge unit, connection to ground electrodes, 
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Power lines: An outdoor system should not be located in the 
vicinity of overhead power lines, electrical lights, or power 
circuits, or where it may contact such power lines or circuits. 
When installing an outdoor system, extreme care should be 
taken to keep from touching power lines or circuits, as this 
contact may be fatal. U.S.A. models only - refer to the National 
Electrical Code Article 820 regarding installation of CATV 
systems.
12 VDC/24 VAC power source: This unit is intended to operate 
with a limited power source, this power source must comply 
with EN60950. User supplied wiring, from 12 VDC/24 VAC 
supply to unit, must be in compliance with electrical codes 
(Class 2 power levels). Do not ground the 12 VDC/24 VAC 
supply at the terminals or at the unit's power supply terminals.
Connection: The unit has connection terminals on flying leads. 
In wet or outdoor installations make use of the VDA-455SMB 
accessory or use a field wiring box with Nema 4 or IP66

water tight compartment. After connections are made ensure 
that the watertight compartment is tightly closed and cables 
and conduits are properly sealed to prevent ingress of water.
