2. Check if the start function in parameter 1-70 Start Mode fits the application requirements.
3.2.2.3.1 Rotor Detection
This function is the recommended selection for applications where the motor starts from standstill, for example pumps or conveyors.
For some motors, a sound is heard when the drive performs the rotor detection. This sound does not harm the motor. Adjust the value
in parameter 1-46 Position Detection Gain for different motors. If the drive fails to start, or an overcurrent alarm occurs when the drive
starts, check if the rotor is blocked or not. If the rotor is not blocked, set parameter 1-70 Start Mode to [1] Parking and try again.
3.2.2.3.2 Parking
This function is the recommended option for applications where the motor is rotating at low speed, for example windmilling in fan
applications. Parameter 2-06 Parking Current and parameter 2-07 Parking Time are adjustable. Increase the factory setting of these
parameters for applications with high inertia.
Start the motor at nominal speed. If the application does not run well, check the VVC+ PM settings. The table below shows
recommendations in different applications.

If the motor starts oscillating at a certain speed, increase parameter 1-14 Damping Gain. Increase the value in small steps.
Adjust the starting torque in parameter 1-66 Min. Current at Low Speed. 100% provides nominal torque as starting torque.
3.2.3 Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA)
3.2.3.1 Overview
It is highly recommended to run AMA because it measures the electrical characteristics of the motor to optimize compatibility between
the drive and the motor under VVC+ mode.
l The drive builds a mathematical model of the motor for regulating output motor current, thus enhancing motor performance.
l Some motors are unable to run the complete version of the test. In that case, select [2] Enable reduced AMA (not for PM).
l If warnings or alarms occur, see the chapter Warning/Alarm Messages.
l Run this procedure on a cold motor for best results.
