HOW TO PROVIDE LIGHTNING
PROTECTION FOR TV ANTENNA
AND SET

STEP 1.

 Mount the lightning arrestor as

close as possible to where the downlead
enters the house.

STEP 2. 

The ground wires for both the mast

and the downlead should be copper or
aluminum wire, number eight (8) or larger.

STEP 3. 

The downlead wire from the

antenna to the lightning arrestor should be
secured every four (4) to six (6) feet to
prevent whipping.

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
more feet into the ground.  Consult a TV
serviceman for proper depth in your location.
