6) Antenna Grounding & Connection
The National Electric Code (NEC) requires your out-
door antenna installation to be properly grounded.
This involves grounding both the antenna and the
antenna mounting structure. This helps protect you
and your property in the event of static build up on
the antenna or lightning near your home.
Note
:
If you previously had a satellite or cable system
installed at your home, you may be able to use some
of the parts from this system for your antenna
installation.
a)
Ground the Antenna Mount
: Attach a #8
aluminum or a #10 copper grounding wire to the
antenna mounting structure, for example pole,
mast, tower, etc. In some cases, a bolt on the
mount can be used for making this connection.
When using the
“J” Mount
provided, use the
M5
Bolt
and
M5 Nut
in the hole on the
“J” Mount
located just above the
Mounting Bracket
to make
this connection.
