Antenna System:
This receiver is intended for connection to an antenna system, possibly
including outdoor antennas, installed to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Articles 810 and 820 of the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -1984, provide information with
respect to grounding of the mast and supporting structure, the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, and the coaxial cable system; and
with respect to the size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge units, connection to grounding electrodes, and the
requirements for the grounding electrode. If an outside antenna is
connected to the antenna terminal of the receiver, be sure the antenna
system is grounded in a manner similar to the accompanying figure.
