or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
16. Power Lines- An outdoor antenna should be located away from power
lines.
17. Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, make sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide protection against voltage surges and built up of static
charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984,
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 connectors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
18. Object and Liquid Entry- Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
19. Battery Usage CAUTION –To prevent battery leakage that may result

Note to the CATV system installer: This
reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer's attention to Article 820-40
of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry
as practical.
