of liquid on the product.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna is connected to the prod-
uct, be sure the antenna system is grounded so

surges and built-up static charges. Section 810
of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge product, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge product, connec-
tion to grounding electrodes and requirements
for grounding electrodes.
