Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to our family!
Dear Skystream 3. 7® Owner, Thank you for your purchase of Skystream. You have just selected the most technologically advanced, cost-effective renewable energy appliance available for a home or small business. We congratulate you on your choice and are confident you will experience years of dependable service. [. . . ] An E-Stop will only take place if the fault is severe and requires servicing Skystreams internal components. Refer to the key Operating Characteristics section of this manual for a complete description of the Skystreams various "shut down" modes including Emergency Stops. Resetting an Emergency Stop requires special equipment and can only be accomplished a trained technician. If you suspect your Skystream has executed an Emergency Stop contact Skystream Technical Support.
service The internal components of Skystream should only be serviced by qualified technicians specifically trained to perform the service. Under no circumstances should untrained technicians attempt to perform service or repairs unless under the direct guidance of a trained technician. Service operations that were performed during the installation of Skystream, for example bolting on the blades or bolting Skystream to the tower may be performed as necessary by the user / operator.
Warning: There is risk of electric shock from both AC and DC voltages within Skystream. Do not attempt to remove the hatchcover to access the internal components. AC power should always be disconnected, the turbine restrained from yawing, and blades secured from rotating prior to servicing or serious or fatal injury may occur.

The Skystream 3. 7 operates by converting the kinetic energy of the wind into rotational motion that turns an alternator and ultimately produces usable electric power. In actuality this is a great over simplification of Skystream's operation since it must very precisely match the frequency and voltage of the electricity supplied by the local utility company in order to power your home and its appliances. Additionally, Skystream monitors and adjusts its performance to provide safe operation and extract the maximum energy from even low speed winds. Skystream will begin producing power in a wind of approximately 3. 5 m/sec. Once it has started producing power, it will continue to produce power at lower speeds down to 80 rpm and less than 3 m/s. Should the wind speed increase above 9 m/s the blade speed will remain essentially fixed at 330 rpm. If a condition occurs that causes the rotational speed to exceed 360 rpm, Skystream will shut down for approximately 10 minutes after which it will resume normal operation unless a fault is detected causing it to remain shut down. This is an unlikely scenario that should never occur in normal operation. It is important to set the elevation for the turbine to operate correctly. If a wind gust exceeds 25 m/s, then the Skystream will shutdown for 1 hour. After 1 hour, the Skystream will turn back on, and resume normal charging. If the wind is still above 25 m/s, then the Skystream will shutdown for another hour. In addition to adjusting its operation in response to wind conditions Skystream also monitors the electrical utility grid and its own internal health. Should the electric utility voltage or frequency differ from Skystream's voltage, for example due to a power failure, Skystream will disconnect from the grid and enter a "braked mode". While in this mode the blades are held stationary while the Skystream monitors the utility power. [. . . ] 4) National Electric Code, 2005 Handbook, National Fire Protection Association (USA).
