Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to direct 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.
Secure Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or
bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure
reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. There should be at least 4 inches (10 cm) of
space around the TV. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface. This TV should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation
is provided.

Code 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 conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
