OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner preamplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminium, No. 17 AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire. b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart. c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the leadin enters house. d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. see NEC Section 810-21 (j). EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810 - RADIO AND TELEVISION EQUIPMENT. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the ground cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzyl or other volatile agents. QUICK START Use the RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the NAD C 425 left & right outputs to the Tuner Input of your amplifier. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Connect C 425's output to amplifier. Connect AM and FM antenna (see figure 3). Plug in the AC power cord. Press the POWER button (No. 1) to turn on the NAD C 425. Press the AM/FM button (No. 6) to select AM or FM reception. Press Preset/Tune button so that "PRESET" isn't lit in display; the tuner is now in Tune mode. 7 Rotate the PRESET/TUNE Control or to select a station. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS FIGURE 1 1 FM Antenna - A ribbon wire FM antenna is included and should be connected to the FM connector at the rear of the unit using the supplied "balun" adaptor (see figure 3). The ribbon aerial should be mounted on a vertical surface and placed so that it forms a "T". Experiment with placement of the antenna to find the position that gives the best signal strength and lowest background noise. An inadequate FM signal normally results in high levels of hiss, especially in stereo, and interference from external electrical sources. In areas of poor FM reception, the tuner section's performance can be improved by using an externally mounted FM antenna. A qualified aerial installer will be able to advise and fit a recommended aerial for your reception conditions. 2 AM Antenna - An AM loop antenna is supplied with the NAD C425 and is required for AM reception. To connect the AM antenna, first press the keys on the Antenna terminals downwards. Insert the bare antenna wires into the two terminal holes and push the connector keys upwards again to secure the connection (see figure 3). Test various positions for the antenna but always ensure the loop is placed vertically for best reception. Placing the antenna close to large metal items such as metal shelves or radiators may interfere with reception. 6 AC Line cord - Plug the AC power cord into a live AC wall socket or to an AC convenience outlet at the rear of your amplifier. 7 RS-232 - Connect to the RS-232 serial port of a home-automation system or personal computer (see "System Integration," below). SVENSKA 5 PORTUGUÊS NOTE The C 425's 12V Trigger will work within a range of 6 to 15 V DC level and typically draws less than 10mA of current.
