General Safety Precautions
1. Save these instructions. This Owner's Manual contains important safety and operating
information for the QuietPower Inverter.
2. The QuietPower Inverter has a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and a Circuit Breaker for
your safety. These features are critical to the safe operation of this system and must not be disabled.
3. Do not expose the QuietPower Inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce risk of fire
hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the QuietPower Inverter in a
zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
4. Do not use attachments not recommended or sold by Iris Technology. Doing so may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
5. The QuietPower Inverter (PN 287A101) is designed to connect to a military vehicle 24 VDC
power system through the supplied NATO SLAVE Cable (PN 287A106).
6. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical
condition. Do not operate the QuietPower Inverter with damaged wiring.
7. Do not operate the QuietPower Inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way. If the QuietPower Inverter has been damaged, please refer to Section
8.0 of this manual: Warranty Service.
8. Do not disassemble the QuietPower Inverter; see the Service section of this manual for
instructions on obtaining service for the QuietPower Inverter. Attempting to service the unit yourself may
result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.
9. To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect the DC power from the QuietPower Inverter before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any equipment and circuits connected to the
QuietPower Inverter. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
Explosive Gas Precautions
1. This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations which
require ignition protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery,
fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the fuel system.
2. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases
during normal battery operation.
