HOW TO PROVIDE LIGHTNING
PROTECTION FOR TV ANTENNA
AND SET
Step 1.
Mount the grounding block as close as possible to
where the 75 ohm coaxial cable (lead-in) enters the house.
See
Figure 9
.
Step 2.
The ground wires for both the
mast and the lead-in should be copper or aluminum wire, num-
ber eight (8) or larger. See
Figure 9
.
Step 3.
The lead-in wire from the antenna to the ground-
ing block and the mast ground wire should be secured to the
house, spaced from four (4) or six (6)
feet apart. See
Figure 9
.
NOTE:
In the case of a “ground up” antenna installation, it may
not be necessary to ground the mast if the mast extends four
or moure feet into the earth. Consult a TV serviceman for the
proper depth in your location.
Step 9:
Mounting Antenna to Mast
A. Loosen nuts on the main boom and brace mast clamps.
B. Slide both mast clamps over the mast pointing the front of
the antenna (small end) towards stations and tighten the
boom brace mast clamp securely.
C.Let the main boom mast clamp slide down the mast until the
boom brace supports the main boom.
D. Tighten the main boom mast clamp securely. (see
Figure 8
)
Step 10:
The 75 ohm coaxial cable downlead may be secured
to the mast by either taping it or use of plastic wire ties.
