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.

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.

[B]

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. 8: Hole 20 (1/1)

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.
