The Z5160 Load adapter is intended for use with the Z5159 Flying frame
for arrays of Q loudspeakers to be suspended from a single flying point.
The load adapter is supplied with one 2t Shackle and two locking pins 12
mm (B2212) which are fixed to the adapter using a steel wire. The 2t
Shackle also allows the application of the Z5155 Hoist connector.
A second hole (∅: 11 mm/0.4”) opposite the 2t Shackle is provided to
accept the Z5147 Rota Clamp.
The bottom row of holes (∅: 12.5 mm/0.5”) is split into two groups of four
holes which, together with the respective hole above the hole labeled
“1/1” (see (Fig. 2), form a “quad vernier”.
The Load adapter therefore allows a “quad hole value” between the hole
grid of the bars of the flying frame.
The applicable vernier scales for the chosen lifting devices – 2t Shackle or
Rota clamp – are printed on both sides of the load adapter (see Fig. 3/4)

2. Safety instructions
WARNING!
The Z5160 Load adapter must only be used in conjunction
with the d&b Q-Series rigging accessories and loudspeakers
as described in these mounting instructions and in the
Q-Series Rigging manual.
Installation should only be carried out by fully trained
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.
Secondary safeties must always be provided and used
when flying or fixing loudspeaker loads overhead.

GROUND
WARNING!
The maximum permitted working load limit (WLL) of the
Z5160 Load adapter is 500 kg/1100 lb in terms of using the
shackle.
Using the Z5147 Rota Clamp the maximum permitted
working load limit is 500 kg/1100 lb (WLL/BGV C1).
The Load adapter must only be moved beyond the rear
edge of the bar of the flying frame to such an extent that the
“1/1 hole” of the adapter is kept in line with the last hole
(hole 27) of the flying frame.
Ensure both locking pins are inserted and locked securely
before lifting the array.

Fig. 6: B2212 Quick lock mechanism
Pressing the button [B] releases the locking mechanism and allows the pin
to be inserted into or removed from the load adapter and flying frame.
Releasing the button [B] after the pin has been completely inserted locks
the locking mechanism.
Ensure that the pin is locked. A groove [G] (see Fig. 6) in the bolt of the
pin indicates that it is properly locked.

Fig. 9: Hole 20 + 1/4
The hole in the top row of the frame bar which is appropriate to achieve
the desired vertical aiming of the array is calculated using the d&b Q-Calc
Array software.
Depending on the chosen lifting device – 2t Shackle or Rota Clamp – the
Load adapter is placed on the center bar of the Z5159 Flying frame so
that the suspension point is facing towards the back of the flying frame
(see Fig. 7).
Based on the value calculated by Q-Calc, the Load adapter needs to be
adjusted as follows:
Example 1:
Hole 20 has been calculated - Fig. 8.
1. Place or move the Load adapter so that the hole of the bottom row
marked with "1/1" is in line with hole 20 of the flying frame bar and fix
it using the locking pin ().
2. Insert and lock the second locking pin in the resulting "free" hole ().
Example 2:
Hole 20+1/4 has been calculated - Fig. 9.
1. Again place or move the Load adapter so that the hole of the bottom
row marked with "1/1" is in line with hole 20 of the flying frame bar.
2. Now move the Load adapter towards the back of the frame until the
hole of the bottom row marked with “1/4“ is in line with the nearest
hole on the flying frame bar and fix the adapter using the locking pin
().
3. Insert and lock the second locking pin in the resulting "free" hole ().
The other two possible holes (20+1/2 - Fig. 10 and 20+3/4 - Fig. 11) are
adjusted in the same way as described in example 2.

7. Maintenance and care
WARNING!
To eliminate the potential risk of accident due to
malfunctioning of a component, regularly carry out a visual
and functional inspection of all system components.
7.1. Test recommendations
– Visual inspection of the Load adapter including all holes of the
component and the 2t Shackle for deformation and damage (e.g.
cracks and corrosion).
– Inspection for missing ball bearings and damaged locking pins.
– Functional inspection of the ball bearings.
– Inspection of the release mechanism for proper functioning.
