ATTACHING THE COAX

Connect the 75 ohm coaxial cable to the matching transformer. The connection should be finger tight. The coaxial downlead may be secured to the mast with tape or plastic wire ties.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR TV ANTENNA & SET

1. Mount the lightning arrestor or 75 ohm coaxial grounding block as close as possible to where the 75 ohm coaxial cable downlead enters the house. See Figure at right.
2. The ground wires for both the mast and the downlead should be copper or aluminum wire, number eight or larger. See at right.
3. The downlead wire from the antenna to the lightning arrestor and the mast ground wire should be secured to the house, spaced from four to six feet apart. See Figure at right.

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.
