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 there is any doubt as to the proper functioning
and safety of the items, these must be withdrawn from use
immediately.
Load safety information
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 force is 350 N.
The maximum permitted working load of the Z5442 Wall mount
column is 16 kg (35 lb), which corresponds to the weight of a
complete 24C/24C-E assembly.

Mounting recommendations
Basically, it does not matter in what position you attach the wall
mount to the cabinet.
However, when you attach the wall mount to a complete
24C/24C-E assembly, we recommend you to attach it to the 24C
cabinet instead of the extender.
It is advisable to attach the wall mount to the upper part of the
24C cabinet close to the connector panel, as shown in the graphic
opposite.
To achieve the maximum downtilt of 15°, the wall mount must be
attached to the center of the 24C cabinet, as shown in the graphic
opposite.
1.3. Intended use
The d&b Z5442 Wall mount column must only be used in
conjunction with applicable d&b column loudspeakers.
It is intended for direct wall mounting.
The eyelet [S] of the cabinet connecting plate is intended for
attaching a secondary safety device, if required.
Depending on the application and on-site conditions, the wall
mount allows a vertical downtilt of the column of 15°, while the
column can be aimed horizontally within a range of ±90°.
