    It should not be considered as a replacement of professional services or as a definitive text for assembling and installing the DS-700 VAWT systems. Hi-VAWT makes no warranties by either expressed or implied that the information contained in the manual is accurate or complete.

  • Page 9: Safety Precautions

    Safety must be the primary concern as you plan the location, assembly, installation and operation of the DS-700 VAWT. At all times be aware of electrical, mechanical and rotor blade hazards. This Owner’s Manual contains important instructions, guidelines and safety notes that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of the Hi-VAWT’s DS-700 VAWT.

  • Page 10: Mechanical Hazards

    1.1 Mechanical Hazards Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The DS-700’s rotor blades are made of very strong anodized aluminum. Some edge of the blades are sharp, please do not touch those sharp blades. Even though, with the built-in airfoil, the edges of those blades are not as sharp, they still will cause serious injury when they start rotating, even at low speed.

  • Page 11: Assembly

    SECTION CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL FIRE.  NEVER SHORT-CIRCUIT THE BATTERY IF APPLIED. 1.3 Assembly The DS-700 VAWT System is designed in “All Most Ready to Use” format and shipped with factory pre-assembled packing. The only assembly work required is Darrieus blades assembly. This user’s manual will guide you through the assembly procedures with detailed illustrations.

  • Page 12: Installation

     Use safety harnesses, safe helmets, gloves, etc.  Make sure that all batteries, if applied, are disconnected from the system throughout the installation process.  The DS-700 generator should be short-circuited to prevent unintended wind turbine rotating during the shipment. Please...

  • Page 13: Operation

    (use the Stop Switch after installation or tie the output leads together) to stop the rotor blades from rotating. The DS-700 is designed to be shut down through the use of stop switch (brake switch).  NEVER APPROACH THE TURBINE DURING OPERATION.

  • Page 14: Introduction

    2. Introduction The DS-700 is a hybrid Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) system which combines drag-based design and lift-based design. It incorporates an S- type of Savonius rotor and three airfoil blades of egg-beater shape Darrieus to maximize the output performance.

    Figure 2-3 System Controllers 2.4. DS-700 Optional Parts This DS-700 VAWT System is designed with simplicity in mind, so there are just a few parts needed which all included in the standard package. Concerning the shipping cost and different applications applied by customers, the required mounting mast to setup the DS- 700 Wind Turbine is not included in the standard package.

  • Page 20: Selecting Location

     DO NOT install the DS-700 VAWT System at a site where anyone can easily approach the rotating blades.  DO NOT install the DS-700 VAWT System at a site surrounded by obstructions.

  • Page 21: Mast Preparation

    3.2 Mast Preparation As mentioned before, shipping charge of the mast made by Hi- VAWT will be costly. If you prefer making your own mast for DS-700 VAWT System rather than purchasing from Hi-VAWT, we will show you here how the mast can be made by your local supplier.
  • Page 22  Carefully check the surrounding area when determines the length of the mast. Avoid any existing objects that affect the performance of wind energy or cause hazards. The following Figure 3-1 shows the diagram for making the mast.
