General Safety Precautions
The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedures and
therefore do not appear elsewhere in this publication. These are recommended precautions
that personnel must understand and apply during many phases of operation and maintenance.
Keep away from live circuits. Operating personnel must at all times observe all safety
regulations. Do not replace components or make adjustments inside the equipment with
the voltage supply turned on. Under certain conditions, dangerous potentials may exist
when the power control is in the OFF position. To avoid casualties, always remove
power and discharge. Ground a circuit before touching it.
Do not service or adjust alone. Under no circumstances should any person reach into
or enter the enclosure for the purpose of servicing or adjusting the equipment except in
the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.
Resuscitation. Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with
modern methods of resuscitation. Such information may be obtained from the Red
Cross (www.redcross.org).
Save these instructions. This Owner‟s Manual contains important safety and operating
information for the QuietPower Inverter.
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.
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.
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.
The QuietPower Inverter is designed to connect to a military vehicle 24 VDC power
system through an available and/or supplied NATO Cable.
Do not operate the QuietPower Inverter with damaged wiring. 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 if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the QuietPower Inverter has been
damaged, refer to Section 7, Warranty and Service.
Do not disassemble the QuietPower Inverter. Only qualified electronics maintenance
technicians are permitted to replace the fuse. Attempts to service the inverter by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Refer to Section 7,
Warranty and Service, for instructions on servicing the inverter.
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.
