1.3 Intended use
The d&b Z5553 Flying bracket 24S must only be used in
conjunction with d&b 24S or 24S-D cabinets.
The tie bar of the bracket is supplied with two M8 threaded inserts
at the standard d&b spacing (115 mm/4.5") to accept the
following accessories:
The bracket can be:
▪ directly mounted to ceilings.
▪ horizontally flown from overhead bars or truss with a tube
diameter between 40 mm and 70 mm (1.5" and 2.75") using
the Z5010 TV spigot with fixing plate in conjunction with the
Z5012 Pipe clamp.
▪ mounted on loudspeaker stands with a tube diameter of 35 mm
(1.4") using the Z5024 Loudspeaker stand adapter.
Note: Refer to the specific mounting instructions for assembly
and operation of these accessories.
Two additional M10 threaded inserts [A] are provided which are
intended for support purposes in flown applications. The inserts
can accept two M10 eye bolts (such as d&b Q9032) which are
used to lift the cabinet to its operating position using steel wire
ropes.
Once the cabinet is fixed in its operating position, the steel wire
ropes and eye bolts may be removed.
1.4 Mounting options and angle settings
The bracket can be attached in two ways:
Type A Flown applications.
Type B High-stand applications.
1.5 Assembly

To attach the bracket to the ceiling, use the holes shown in the
graphic opposite to provide adequate support.

Preparing the cabinet
The threaded inserts of the cabinet are covered by dummy caps in
cabinet color. To remove the caps, proceed as follows:

not peeled off.
Attaching the bracket to the cabinet

1. From the rear, attach the bracket to the cabinet as shown in
the graphic opposite.
2. Insert the screws together with the spring and U washers.
