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 Z5410 Horizontal
bracket 12S-SUB is 16 kg (35 lb) (according to BGV C1) which
corresponds to the weight of one 12S-SUB loudspeaker.
The maximum permitted working load of the Z5412 Horizontal
bracket 18S/27S-SUB is 41 kg (90 lb) (according to BGV C1)
which implies the weight of one 18S-SUB or 27S-SUB
loudspeaker, respectively.
The d&b Z5410 Horizontal bracket 18S/27S-SUB and the Z5412
Horizontal bracket 12S-SUB must only be used in conjunction with
the d&b xS-Series subwoofers 18S/27S-SUB and 12S-SUB as
described in these mounting instructions.
The brackets can be:
– directly mounted to ceilings.
– horizontally flown and mounted to bars and truss with a tube
diameter of up to 70 mm (2.75") using the Z5010 TV spigot
with fixing plate and the Z5012 Pipe clamp.
Note: Refer to the specific mounting instructions for assembly
and operation of these accessories.
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 the ceiling.
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.
Each end of the bracket is equipped with a semi-circular slot to
allow the subwoofer to be vertically aligned within a range of 60°
(±30° as standard). However, when mounting 18S or 27S
subwoofers directly to the ceiling, the possible vertical angles of
the two subwoofers differ due to the different positions of the
threaded inserts (center of gravity). The following angles can be
set:
– 18S-SUB: +30°/–18°.
– 27S-SUB:± 23°.
1.5. Assembly
Attaching the bracket to the ceiling
NOTICE!
Only use mounting parts (fixing anchors and screws) that are
suitable for the intended application.
Observe the occurring extraction forces acting on the fixing
anchors and screws. The rated extraction forces for the respective
cabinet are listed in the following table.
To attach the bracket to the ceiling, use the holes shown in the
graphic opposite to provide adequate support.
A corresponding fixing template is supplied with these mounting
instructions. Refer to Þ Chapter 2. "Fixing templates"
on page 7.
Preparing the cabinet
The top and bottom panels of the loudspeaker cabinet are each
equipped with a pair of M10 threads. The threads are covered by
dummy caps in cabinet color.
To remove the caps, proceed as follows:
1.Cut out the caps along the recessed spline using an
appropriate cutting knife.
2.Carefully take off the caps and ensure the cabinet coating is
not peeled off.
Attaching the cabinet to the bracket
NOTICE!
– Only use the supplied and specified screws [2], otherwise there
a risk of damaging the threaded inserts.
– Always use the spring washers [3] and U washers [4] to
