14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provi-

70, provides information with regard 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
antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure below.
15. Lightning
