2 Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of this QuietPower Inverter. As a high quality, true sine wave output
inverter, you can expect the QuietPower to deliver exceptional performance and give you years of
dependable operation. The true sine wave AC output from the QuietPower Inverter ensures all AC loads
operating from the unit perform efficiently and correctly. Since these loads were designed to operate from
true sine wave voltage, you can expect these loads to operate the same as if operating from grid/utility
supplied power. In some cases, the true sine wave output from the QuietPower Inverter is even superior
to the power supplied by your utility company.
To get the most out of your QuietPower Inverter, please carefully read and follow the instructions in this
guide. Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions in this guide and to the CAUTION and
WARNING statements found throughout the guide and on the product. Please retain all packaging.
Should you have any questions before, during, or after installation, please call Iris Technology's Customer
Service Department for help.

QuietPower Inverter Key Features
The QuietPower Inverter utilizes advanced high frequency switching technology in the power conversion
process. The circuits are similar to those used in power supplies for computers and other electronic
equipment. This technology offers several benefits:
· Light weight: for easy installation
· Totally silent: for quiet operation
· High surge capability: for ‘hard-to-start” AC loads
See Section 10 Specifications, for complete product specifications.
2.1.1. Inverter Function
When connected properly and the power switch is turned to the ‘|’ position, the QuietPower Inverter
draws power from a battery and delivers a true sine wave AC output voltage that is similar to the voltage
supplied by your local utility. As long as the battery voltage is within the operating range of the unit, the
QuietPower will continue to deliver AC power to the loads connected. High and low battery shutdowns
will engage if the battery voltage falls out of the specified range of operation (20-32 VDC).
