2.2.9. Z5421 Connector plate xA, neg. splay
Intended use
The connector plate is used in ground stack setups to apply a

downtilt (negative splay) to the first TOP cabinet.

The connector plate can also be used in mixed vertical arrays to

apply either an uptilt to the first TOP cabinet below a SUB cabinet

or a downtilt to the first TOP cabinet above a SUB cabinet.

Angles can be set to 0°, 1°, 2°, 4°, 6° or 9°.

2.2.10. Z5420 Load eyebolt
Intended use
The Z5420 Load eye bolt is rotatably supported and is used to

suspend the array in conjunction with the Z5413 Flying bar

connector plate xA and the Z5419 Load bar xA.

It can also be used to attach a second pickpoint between adjacent

cabinets in the lower part of the array or at the end of the array

acting as a pullback anchor device together with the Z5419 Load

bar xA, if required.

Assembly

CAUTION!
Potential risk of loosening of the fixing screw.

The integrated fixing screw of the eyebolt is rotatably supported

and therefore cannot be secured against loosening using a spring

or lock washer. To prevent the screw from loosening, an
appropriate securing glue such as "Loctide

" must be used.

When attaching the eyebolt, handtighten the screw using a 5 mm

Allen hex key. Do not use any extension tool as this might apply

too much torque and cause an overload on the fixing screw.

2.3. Setting the splay angle
The procedure of setting the splay angles between adjacent

cabinets (TOP or SUB cabinets) is the same for all connector plates

of the xA-Series. For this purpose, the connector plates are

equipped with a hole grid at each end.

To set the desired splay angle, use the respective pair of holes on

the connector plate for the upper and for the lower cabinet.

A correspondingly labeled diagram of the connector plate's hole

grids and possible angle settings is provided in the following

The following graphics show example settings for each of the

connector plates, indicating the holes to be used and the set splay

angles.
