Electric Service Equipment

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be 

connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system 

is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage 

surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides 

information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and 

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna 

discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of 

antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and 

requirements of the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection
For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it 

is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV 

from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or 

where it could fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember, the 

screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in 

the building installation.
