1. Product description

The Z5048 Flying pin, 10 mm enables single M2 or Q-TOP (Q7/Q10)
cabinets to be flown either horizontally or vertically.

The cabinets are equipped with two precision mounting sockets, each
accepting a single Flying pin, 10 mm.

WARNING!

Minumum two or up to four Z5048 Flying pins will be required
depending on the method of deployment.

2. Safety instructions

Installation should only be carried out by fully trained personel. There
are certain rules for installation that must be complied with.

It is the responsibility of the person installing the assembly to ensure that
the structure being attached to is suitable for the intended use.

The Z5048 Flying pin, 10 mm must only be used in conjunction with the
d&b loudspeaker cabinets which are equipped with a socket to accept
the Flying pin, 10 mm.

The Z5048 Flying pins and the sockets in the cabinets must be inspected
before use for faults (release mechanism function, deformation or
corrosion, missing ball bearings, or damage to the mounting sockets or
cabinet). A cabinet with damaged mounting sockets must not be flown
under any circumstances, whilst damaged Flying pins must be withdrawn
from use immediately.

The Z5048 Flying pins are not designed to be rotated in a mounting
socket under load conditions. As a loudspeaker cabinet will rotate if
picked up from one point, a minimum of two flying pins should always
be used to fly a single cabinet.

Ensure all locking pin is inserted and locked securely before lifting the
cabinet.

The locking pins should only be unlocked for disassembly on the ground.

Secondary safeties must always be provided and used when flying or
fixing loudspeaker loads overhead.

5. Application

5.1. M2 Stagemonitor

On no account should an additional M2 cabinet be
suspended from the M2 Flying pins of another.

The Z5048 Flying pin allows an M2 stage monitor to be flown quickly
and easily, either vertically (e.g. as sidefill), or horizontally (e.g. under a
stage fitted with grill apertures).

The M2 cabinet is equipped with two precision mounting sockets on
each side, each accepting a single M2 Flying pin.

5.2. Q-Series loudspeaker

The Z5048 Flying pin allows either the vertical or horizontal suspension
of a single Q-TOP cabinet.

In the case of a single cabinet to be suspended vertically one flying pin
each can be attached to the centre sockets at the up side of the front
grill and the back of the cabinet (see Fig. 3).

In the case of a single cabinet to be suspended horizontally two flying
pins each to the left and right panel of the cabinet can be inserted to
the centre sockets at the front grill and the back of the cabinet (see Fig.

4).

Alternatively two flying pins can be inserted to the centre socket at the
front grill and a third flying pin to the additional socket in the centre of
the rear panel (see Fig. 5).
