PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Intended Use
Skystream 3.7 is a wind powered electricity generator containing an integral AC power inverter. It is
designed to supplement the electrical power provided by the local electrical utility company in
residential applications by connecting directly to the main AC utility panel. Skystream 3.7 may also be
utilized to provide power with battery based residential electrical systems or utility grid connected
systems with battery backup. A typical Skystream installation is depicted in
Figure 1
of this manual.
Skystream 3.7 is designed to operate at sites with average wind speeds less than 8.5 m/s - IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission) Class II wind conditions. The installation of Skystream at
sites with higher average wind speeds will accelerate component wear and require more frequent
inspections.
Unintended Use
Utilizing Skystream 3.7 for other than its intended purposes or with inappropriate equipment or
modifying Skystream is not authorized by XZERES Wind and will void the warranty and may result in
serious or even fatal injury. Observe the following precautions.
• Disconnect power to Skystream prior to servicing – observe “Lock-out” and “Tag-out” procedures.
• Observe all Electrical Code Requirements including tower grounding requirements, electrical
disconnect switches, wire sizes and types. Reference the appendices in this manual.
• Skystream may only be installed on a tower approved by XZERES Wind for use with Skystream. Do
not install Skystream on roofs or on unauthorized towers.
• Do not use unauthorized fasteners. Use fasteners supplied with Skystream. Contact your dealer for
authorized replacement fasteners.
• Observe fastener torque requirements.
• Do not attempt to modify Skystream in any fashion – internally or externally.
• Do not install blades other than those supplied with Skystream. Use only genuine replacement
blades supplied by XZERES Wind.
• Do not attempt to use a power source other than the wind to power Skystream – for example
connecting pulleys or as water powered turbine.
IMPORTANT:
Precautions listed here cannot address all the possible misuses of Skystream,
therefore contact XZERES Wind. If there is any doubt or question regarding the installation or
use of Skystream.
