Antenna Grounding & Connecting Coax Cables
The National Electric Code (NEC) requires your outdoor antenna
installation to be properly grounded. This involves grounding both
the antenna and the antenna mounting structure. This helps
protect you and your property in the event of static build up on the
antenna or lightning near your home.
Note: If you previously had a satellite system installed at your
home, you may be able to use some of the parts from this system
for your antenna installation.
a) Ground the Antenna Mount: Attach a #8
aluminum or a #10 copper grounding wire to the
antenna mounting structure, for example pole, mast,
tower, etc. In some cases, a bolt on the mount can be
used for making this connection. When using the "J"
Mount provided, use the M5 Bolt and M5 Nut in
the hole on the "J" Mount located just above the
Mounting Bracket to make this connection (Fig. 6a).
Tighten this connection securely. Ensure there is a
good electrical connection between your mounting
structure and grounding wire. Running the wire
as straight as possible and using stand-off insulators
spaced from four (4) to six (6) feet apart, attach the
grounding wire to an acceptable building ground
location.
