GROUNDING THE METAL POLE MOUNT
GROUNDING USING RG-6 QUAD-SHIELDED CABLE
1. Install the 2-3/8-inch pole ground clamp on the metal pole.
Install it 13 inches above the soil or the concrete base.
2. Bend one end of the 8 AWG aluminum ground wire in a
1-1/2-inch loop.
3. Attach the loop to the pole ground clamp.
4. Route the wire up the pole to the coaxial cable connector.
5. Lay the end of the ground wire parallel to the coaxial cable
connector
6. Install the 3/8-inch hose clamp on the crimped part of the F-
connector below the F-connector nut. Make sure it goes
around both the coaxial cable and the ground wire.
7. Use tie wraps to hold the coaxial cable and ground wire to
the mast. The final configuration should match Figure 45.
