3.3 Mounting the QuietPower Inverter
Before mounting the QuietPower Inverter, test the chosen location for adequate space around the unit to
allow for connections and ventilation. Mounting hardware should be corrosion resistant and ¼” or 6 mm
diameter screws. Your mounting system should be able to support three times the weight of the
QuietPower Inverter, which weighs approximately 16 pounds (7.3Kg). The more clearance for ventilation
around the unit, the better the performance. At a minimum, have 5” of free space on all sides of the
inverter. For your convenience, four (4) Neoprene Cylindrical Sandwich Mount Vibration Isolators and
attachment hardware are provided for shock mounting.
To mount the QuietPower Inverter
Mount the QuietPower Inverter on either a horizontal or vertical surface (such as a bulkhead) using the
mounting holes provided. For secure, permanent mounting, use all eight mounting holes. Optionally, use
four shock mounts provided. To meet regulatory requirements, the QuietPower Inverter must be mounted
in one of the three orientations shown in Figure 1 below.
Remove and re-attach the front panel depending on
the orientation of the base unit itself. For example, if
the unit is mounted on a vertical surface, you may
want to remove the panel and attach it so it is again
readable horizontally. This can be done as depicted
in Figure 2, below, by removing the 4 screws, taking
the panel out of the housing, rotating the panel and
reattaching the panel to the base unit. Be sure to re-
install all four screws.
