FAQ

The standard package starts with drawing up a schedule of work to be carried out. When this has been agreed with you, the Danfoss engineer will make a comprehensive inspection of the drive installation. He will perform fine-tuning of the drive parameters so they are accurately matched to your application. The engineer will then carry out functional testing of the drive/motor system, and provide basic training for your maintenance team so they know how to keep the drive working at peak efficiency throughout its life. Conclusively, the Danfoss engineer will provide you with a comprehensive and detailed start-up report.

 

The service does not include installation of the drive. Before the DrivePro® Start-up service can be carried out, you must make sure that it’s installed in line with the instructions provided in the relevant Danfoss installation manual and programming guide.

The drive also needs to be ready to be powered up for the first time, but the first power up must be carried out by the Danfoss engineer as part of the DrivePro® Start-up service. Also, drives with extraordinary fieldbus options, motion control options and/or functional safety option boards are outside the standard scope of the service.

 

Ideally, you would place your order for the service at the same time you place the order for your drive(s). That gives you and Danfoss enough time to schedule the work to be carried out at a suitable time. You can also place your order after you’ve installed the drives but there is one important condition – for new drives, you must have the DrivePro® Start-up service carried out before you apply power to the drive.

 

In most instances, yes, but there are a few cases where it might be useful for existing drives or drive systems. These include, for example, when a drive has undergone a major repair or upgrade. The best thing to do in these cases is to discuss your requirements with your local Danfoss contact, who will be able to advise whether or not the DrivePro® Start-up service is a good way of meeting your needs.

 

The DrivePro® Start-up service is currently available for selected drives. We are constantly evaluating our customers’ needs and working to expand the range of drives for which we can supply the service. Your local Danfoss contact will be able to tell you whether your drives are eligible.

 

Several factors influence the price including the type and number of drives you want the service for, the distance the Danfoss engineer has to travel to your site and whether you want any of the extra modules. It’s worth knowing that if the engineer can provide the DrivePro® Start-up service for several drives on the same site at the same time, a discount will apply. Once we’ve assessed these factors, we will quote you a fixed and inclusive price for the service.
