Curtis PMC 1204/1205 Manual
OTHER HARDWARE
The recommended hardware for a typical 1204/1205 controller installa-
tion is shown in Figure 5.
Contactors should be mounted in a clean, dry location. If such a
location is unavailable, a cover should be used to deflect dirt and water
splash.
The precharge resistor connected to the main contactor, and the coil
suppression diodes connected to the main contactor and to the forward/
reverse contactors, are somewhat delicate components. Care should be
taken to prevent damage to them during installation.
