In this set up, we used a Vision earth bar on IRS (Intergrated reception system) Providing signals for Sky, Freesat, UHF, FM, DAB. Vision is leading manufacturer of aerial and satellite installation products in the UK. We used one of their products since it is required by law that all communal systems should be earthed.
What is an Earth Bar?
An earthing bar or grounding bar is a bar made of solid metal where the equipments can be electrically grounded. It is also designed to earth the signals especially for bigger distribution system like that of a communal system.
Safety is the top priority. The aerial system is connected to the earth terminal and this connection is the property’s protective earth so that any dangerous voltages present can be minimized. As a requirement, the communal system must be connected to the main earth with the use of a 4 mm2 (minimum) copper cable and this set up must be carried out by trained and certified professionals like MediaComs.
Call us today if you need your communal systems installed. We will send over qualified professionals who will ensure that we comply with the requirements and the earth bar set up.
