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 downlead
enters the house. See Figure 3.
Step 2. The ground wires for both
the mast and the downlead should
be copper or aluminum wire,
number eight (8) or larger. See
Figure 3.
Step 3. The downlead wire from
the antenna to the grounding block
and the mast ground wire should
be secured to the house spaced
from four (4) to six (6) feet apart.
See Figure 3.
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 earth. Consult a TV
serviceman for the proper depth in
your location.
