1.2. Safety precautions

General safety

Installation and setup should only be carried out by qualified and
authorized personnel observing the valid national Rules for the
Prevention of Accidents (RPA).

It is the responsibility of the person installing the assembly to ensure
that the suspension/fixing points are suitable for the intended use.

Always carry out a visual and functional inspection of the items
before use. In case you have any doubt as to the proper
functioning and safety of the items, do not use them.

Load safety information

The maximum permitted working load of the Z5408 Horizontal
bracket 8S is 7.4 kg (16 lb) (according to BGV C1) which
corresponds to the weight of one 8S loudspeaker.

1.3. Intended use

The d&b Z5408 Horizontal bracket 8S must only be used in
conjunction with d&b 8S loudspeakers as described in these
mounting instructions.

The bracket can be:
– directly mounted to walls.

– directly mounted to ceilings or other suitable surfaces.
– horizontally flown and mounted to bars and truss with a tube

diameter of up to 70 mm (2.75") using the Z5010 TV spigot
and the Z5012 Pipe clamp.

1.4. Mounting options and angle settings

Mounting holes are provided on the tie bar of the bracket.

One 9 mm (0.35") hole is provided at each end of the tie bar for
fixing the bracket directly to walls or ceilings or other suitable
surfaces.

Two 9 mm (0.35") holes at the d&b standard spacing of 115 mm
(4.5") are provided to allow the attachment of the Z5010 TV
spigot and the Z5012 Pipe clamp.

Each end of the bracket is equipped with a 9 mm (0.35")
elongated hole. This elongated hole allows a multitude of cabinet
positions, e.g. with a low ceiling height the cabinet can be
mounted as close as possible to the ceiling.

Angles can be set within the range of 180° (± 90° as standard).
In general, angle settings depend on the chosen position of the
cabinet within the bracket.

1.5. Assembly

Attaching the bracket to walls or ceilings

NOTICE!

Only use mounting parts (fixing anchors and screws) that are
