Overview:
The Curtis 1212P motor controller provides precise and smooth control of permanent magnet drive motors for battery powered vehicles.
Our controller is fully programmable by means of a Curtis programming device. Using the programmer offers you diagnostic and test capability as well as configuration flexibility.
Key features:
Advanced speed regulation maintains precise speed over varied terrain, obstacles, curbs, and ramps.
Linear cutback of current ensures smooth control, with no sudden loss of power during undervoltage or overtemperature.
Optional speed limit potentiometer provides direct and linear control of the maximum vehicle speed.
Proprietary algorithms help to prevent gearbox wear, while providing smooth start and reverse.
A vehicle can be brought to a complete stop before the electromagnetic brake is applied, ensuring safe and secure stops under all conditions.
Key Off Decel function ensures a smooth “brake to stop” when the key is turned off, while driving or when a fault occurs that requires the vehicle to stop.
Anti-Rollback/Roll-forward function provides a smooth and safe vehicle control on hills and ramps.
The internal main relay provides a secure power-off.
Boost current will give a brief boost of current which greatly improves the transient loads, such as starting on a hill, crossing thresholds, etc.
Easy Installation and Setup
Industry standard footprint with mounting centers and wiring, allows drop-in replacement of other controllers.
The controller is easily programmed with a Curtis programming device, or can be supplied pre-programmed.
It accepts all standard throttle types, including single-ended, wigwag, and unipolar.
Simplified troubleshooting and diagnostics are available.
Standard Mini-Fit Molex Jr. and Faston terminals provide proven, robust wiring connections.
Valuable Additional Features
Automatic compensation for changes in motor conditions which ensures optimum drive performance at all times.
Multi-mode provides for two distinct and programmable control modes (indoor/outdoor).
Power Saver function preventing controller draining of the battery when the vehicle is inactive.
Complete with battery discharge indicator.
Optional speed inhibit input offers flexibility to reduce speed or prevent drive, under certain conditions, such as when the seat is lifted.
Adjustable brake hold voltage which reduces heating of the brake coil.
Reverse Beeper function which alerts bystanders of the units movement.
Electronics sealed to the IP54 standards.
