Step 1

Use No. 10 AWG copper or No. 8 or larger copper-clad steel or bronze wire as ground wires for both 
mast and lead-in. Securely clamp the wire to the bottom of the mast.

Step 2

Secure the lead-in wire to a static discharge unit (lightning arrestor) and the mast ground wire to the 
building with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 ft (1.2 m) to 8 ft (2.4 m) apart.

Step 3

Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in wire enters the building.

Step 4

Drill a hole in the building’s wall as close as possible to the equipment to which you will connect the 
lead-in cable.

Caution

There may be wires in the wall. Make sure your drilling location is clear of any obstructions or other 
hazards.

Step 5

Pull the cable through the hole and form a drip loop close to where it enters the building.

Step 6

Thoroughly waterproof the lead-in area.

Step 7

Connect the lead-in cable to the equipment.
