D E S C R I P T I O N
Curtis PMC Models 1204X/1205X are power MOSFET
electronic motor speed controllers designed to provide smooth,
silent, efficient and cost effective speed, torque and braking
control.
A P P L I C A T I O N
Curtis PMC MOSFET motor speed controllers are ideal for
a variety of electric vehicle applications, including industrial
trucks, personnel carriers, material handling vehicles, tow
tractors, walkie and small forklift applications, scrubbers,
sweepers, scissors-lift and boom trucks, etc.
F E A T u R E S
•
High frequency switching and ultra low voltage drops provide
very high efficiency and silent operation. Costs, heatsinking
requirements and motor and battery losses are reduced. Low
end torque, range and battery life are increased.
•
Environmental protection provided by a rugged, sealed
(factory serviceable) anodized aluminum extrusion housing.
Simple mounting and wiring with push-on type connectors for
control signals. Plated solid copper busses used for all power
connections.
•
Thermal protection and compensation circuit provides under-
temperature cutback, constant current limit over operating
range, and linear rollback in over-temperature. No sudden loss
of power under any thermal conditions.
•
High pedal disable option prevents controller operation if the
key switch is turned on while throttle is applied.
•
Static return to off option prevents controller operation if the
keyswitch is turned on while a forward or reverse direction is
selected.
•
Adjustable acceleration rate, current limit (protected against
exceeding controller rating) and plugging current limit.
Adjustments are accessed through sealed screws in side of
housing (optional). No adjustments are required.
•
Variable plugging current feature provides throttle position
control over braking to improve driveability.
•
Full fault detect circuitry monitors power supply, throttle
connections, output transistors, bypass contactor, etc., to prevent
runaway.
•
Delayed bypass (1A) output drives optional bypass contactor
(normally not required) after throttle reaches 90% and bypass
delay times out (available on 12 and 24-36 volt models only).
•
Arcless contactor switching for F/R contacts and bypass contacts
(if opened below controller current limit).
•
Short circuit protected F/R and bypass contactor drivers to
prevent failure of sealed unit in the event of an accidental
short in contactor coil circuit.
