Step 6: Ground Antenna Mast

NOTE

The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that every antenna installation be grounded. Also many areas have local

antenna grounding codes. Be sure that you are familiar with local grounding and other antenna regulations and codes.

How to ground the antenna mast

1. Secure the ground clamp (supplied) around the antenna mast.

2. Insert and tighten the #6 gauge wire (supplied) in the ground clamp.

NOTE

Cut the wire off at the necessary length. The remainder of the wire will be used to ground the Transmitter.

3. Connect the other end of the #6 gauge wire to a verified building/earth ground.
