  • Page 2: Welcome To Setur

    Welcome to SETUR Congratulations on your purchase of the SETUR-M Hydraulic Vortex Turbine. We believe you will find it easy to install, moreover, we are confident you will experience years of dependable service. SETUR turbine has been designed and precision manufactured to provide the most practical and user- friendly system currently available for renewable energy electricity generation.
  • Page 3: Safety

    Installation of the SETUR turbine should only be undertaken by suitably competent and qualified personnel. SETUR-M turbine installation does not require specialized tools and lifting equipment. The inverter included with your turbine may only be installed, maintained, repaired and connected with the SETUR turbine and the electric grid by a trained and qualified electrician.
  • Page 4: Electrical Safety Hazards

    ➢ Only an authorized electrician is permitted to connect this equipment to the public grid. The SETUR-M turbine generates a 3-phase alternating current (AC) which is then rectified to direct current (DC), then inverted into a pure sine wave single-phase 220-240 V (110-120 V USA model) alternating current (AC).
  • Page 5: Exclusion Of Liability

    Modifications to the turbine and/or inverter are prohibited. The turbine and inverter may only be used if safe to operate and in technically perfect condition. Only a duly authorized representative of Vortex Hydrokinetics LLC may open the hermetically sealed generator and magnetic coupling enclosures of the turbine.

    WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. High danger due to grid voltage and voltage from the turbine that is operational. SYSTEM WIRING Each SETUR-M inverter is equipped with two Power Outlets, North-American 110V-120V and Universal 220V-240V. To connect the turbine to your house...
  • Page 16 NEVER work on your renewable energy system with the turbine in operation. Vortex Hydrokinetics LLC will not be liable if you get electrocuted, injured or killed due to connecting this system by yourself and/or disregarding the warnings and instructions provided in this and inverter's user's manuals, or if you connect this equipment incorrectly and in doing so damage other equipment in your system.

    Higher hydraulic head is the least expensive way to generate more power. SETUR-M requires only 4 m/s (max 11 m/s) of water flow velocity which corresponds to approximately 1 m (max 6 m) of hydraulic head, and at least 65 l/s of water flow rate.
  • Page 18 Since the SETUR turbine requires a head of only 1 m (max 6 m) to generate nominal power output, measuring should not be difficult and needs no additional explanation. Vortex Hydrokinetics LLC © 2019 SETUR-M User's Manual - Rev. 2M-A Page 18 of 24...
