1. General Description
1.1 Introduction
This manual is intended to provide information pertinent to the
installation and operation of the Quiet Power converter /
charger. The product is designed to provide a reliable source
for charging devices through USB Type A plugs and,
optionally, charging remote electrical or electronic devices
through the auxiliary charger port.
Its signature “quiet” EMI / RFI ( Electro-Magnetic Interference /
Radio Frequency Interference ) characteristics permit it to be installed in many applications
that could be disturbed by EMI / RFI emissions from other similar devices.
1.2 Equipment Description
The Quiet Power line of USB chargers are engineered for use in aircraft cockpit or cabin
applications. They provide regulated, filtered D.C. power to common Portable Electronic
Devices (PED) to power these units during flight and charge their internal battery. Devices
that plug in to the USB connectors can draw a total of 3 amps. The QP unit signals the PED
that up to 2 amps are available on the top connector and 1 amp on the bottom connector. A
method referred to as ‘analog negotiation’ is used to signal the PED as to the available
power.
An optional auxiliary charging port is available on certain models of QP1xx chargers. This
port can supply 5, 9, 11, or 12 volts at 1 amp to a device to provide charging or auxiliary
charging current to that device. This port is typically used to power:
•Handheld radios with re-chargeable batteries
•Portable GPS receivers
•Portable standby / backup instrument systems
The auxiliary charger is intended to provide charging capabilities to those devices that might
be used intermittently and not otherwise receive a full charge. For example, connecting the
auxiliary charger to an emergency hand-held radio ensures that the radio is fully charged at
all times.
NOTE: The auxiliary charger is designed as a sacrificial device; if the USB chargers are
supplying full load and the temperature is very high the auxiliary charger will cycle on and off.
The Quiet Power unit is shipped in a container that includes the following materials:
•Installation and Operation Manual
•QP1xx Charging Device
•Power Cable / Wire Harness - ~6’ long
An optional connector kit is available from the manufacturer for the auxiliary charging port to
connect to common handheld devices.

1.2.1 Lighted Models
All of the QP100 series chargers are available with connector backlighting. These
units are ordered with a “-L” designator on the model number ( e.g. QP-104-L). The
backlighting is on continuously and projects a soft blue light within the USB
connector entrance. Intensity is adjusted at the factory for a subtle, low-intensity
light suitable for locating the charger connector in darkened cabin conditions.

2. Regulatory Compliance
The QP1xx series products have been qualified to RTCA Standard DO-160G for
temperature, altitude, voltage spikes, power input, and radio frequency emissions /
interference for cockpit devices. The installing agency shall determine the regulatory basis
against which to install this device.
Installations have been performed as a Minor Alteration with appropriate logbook entry in
accordance with guidance provided by the FAA.
3. Limitations
None
4. Installation Procedures
4.1 Planning
The USB connector protrudes from the face of the unit approximately 0.14”. A standard
installation utilizes an aluminum instrument panel thickness of 0.060” to 0.090”. Should the
installation call for placement in a panel thicker than 0.14” or if it is desired to install the
device in a recessed area, care should be taken to determine the space required about the
perimeter of the USB connectors. Consider the PED devices that will be charged and allow
adequate clearance between the Quiet Power unit and adjacent equipment.
The USB connector requires a square hole through the instrument panel and two mounting
screw holes. Refer to Section 7.3 Appendix C Mechanical Drawings for detailed panel
information. You may also install the device in a standard 2 ¼” or 3 ⅛” instrument panel
opening using either an optional Quiet Power panel or a fabricated panel.
You may choose to install the Quiet Power device using either #6-32 screws or #4-40
screws. The #6-32 screws are aligned along the device vertical centerline and the #4-40
screws are adjacent to the connector. It is not necessary to install the device with more than
2 screws (i.e. two #6-32 or two #4-40).
If you select #4-40 mounting screws, choose the engagement length such that it will not
penetrate deeper than 0.330” / 8.2mm into the body of the Quiet Power unit. Minimum
engagement is 0.260” from the face of the unit to the end of the screw. The following table is
presented for reference.
Panel Thickness Screw Length Penetration Depth
0.060 / 1.5mm 0.375 / 9.3mm 0.315 / 7.9mm
0.090 / 2.3mm 0.375 / 9.3mm 0.285 / 7mm
Electrical installation of the unit requires a dedicated protective device, either circuit breaker
or fuse. Refer to Appendix B for sizing and wiring information. Installation shall be performed
using acceptable methods, practices, and techniques as specified in FAA Advisory Circular
43.13-1B and 43.13-2B.
Additional materials or special tools may be needed:

Mounting screws MS35206 (or equivalent),
Circuit protection device,
Wire MS22759 26-22 gauge (or equivalent),
Shrink tubing, lug connectors, soldering iron, heat gun
4.2 Unit Installation
Install the unit in the instrument panel by cutting or punching an opening in accordance with
Appendix C. Install the Quiet Power unit from the rear and secure with the chosen screws.
Wire the harness in to the aircraft electrical system per the diagram shown in Section 7.2
(Red wire to the protective device, White to aircraft ground). If the device is equipped with an
optional auxiliary charging capability, wire the additional two harness wires (black and white)
to the desired load or refer to Section 4.3.1 below. Plug the Quiet Power harness connector
into the Quiet Power unit.
Install a placard near the USB connector with the statement “5V 3A” or “Charging Port 5V
3A”.
4.3 Optional Accessories
4.3.1 Auxiliary Charger Panel Connector
The auxiliary charger port supplies power to the auxiliary device through an optional panel
connector and cable assembly. Power from the main power unit is supplied to the panel
connector from the cable assembly provided with the unit. A barrel power jack (5.5mm
OD, 2.5mm ID) is provided in the optional auxiliary charger kit (QPC-xxx below). If the
supplied power jack is used, the following instructions apply:
1. Prepare the wire harness by installing a 1” / 2.5mm heat-shrink sleeve over the
white and black wires after they have been trimmed to the appropriate length.
2. Solder the harness wires to the connector by connecting aircraft ground (white) to
the sleeve and power (black) to the pin. Do not make any connection to the sleeve
shunt terminal on the connector.
3. Slide the heat-shrink sleeve over the connector terminals / wire and heat / secure in
place.
4. Drill or punch a 0.33” / 8.4mm diameter hole in the panel. Panel thickness may be
up to 0.125” / 3mm.
5. Insert the connector through the panel and install the supplied washer and nut from
the front. Tighten the nut and make sure that the connector body is secure and will
not rotate.
