BJ LINC Technical Support — Grounding the Dish
Grounding the dish mount and the cable is mandatory. Proper grounding of both mount and cable can prevent damage due to lightning and static charges, and will help prevent signal loss due to certain types of interference.
- Attach the ground wire (Part #35) to the grounding bolt and nut on the dish mount or pole.
- Run the ground wire to the ground block (Part #154021), which should be attached to the school near the school's ground source (i.e., a metal rod driven into the ground near the electric source or a water pipe under your school).
- Run the ground wire through the slot on the ground block and tighten the screw.
Run the other end of the ground wire to your school's grounding source and attach with a grounding clamp.
