Start-up Plus / Start-Up Forms

A factory-authorized start-up option can be purchased at any time. However, if a start-up is purchased with the unit, or within 30 days from the unit’s original ship date, the 1st year warranty is upgraded to include onsite labor and expenses during normal business hours. We refer to this start-up service (with the upgraded warranty) as our “Start-up Plus” option. We also offer Start-up Plus 2 and Start-up Plus 3 options, which include parts and onsite labor expenses for 2 and 3 years, respectively. (Note that Start-up Plus options are not available for Industrial DC Power Supplies.)

When a factory start-up is purchased, the warranty begins from the date of start-up or 90 days from the unit’s original ship date; whichever comes first. If a start-up is not purchased, the warranty period begins from the unit’s original ship date. Start-up includes all travel and living expenses.

Start-up description:

User training may be done at time of start-up (no return visits, unless quoted separately). Product installation is required to be complete before start-up can be scheduled.

A preliminary start-up checklist must be completed and submitted to service@controlledpwr.com in order to schedule a start-up.
