Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to
Section 820-40 of the NEC which 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.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-
1984 (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part1) provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines, other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such
power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. Installing an
outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional
antenna installer.
