The Curtis enAble
®
1212 motor speed controller provides precise and smooth
control of permanent magnet drive motors for battery powered vehicles. It is
designed for use in low power DME applications such as micro-scooters, mini-
scooters, foldable scooters, and low-end personal mobility vehicles. Although it
is optimized for use on modern 3-wheel and 4-wheel mobility aid scooters, its
programmable options also allow it to be used on any low power permanent
magnet motor application.
The 1212 controller is fully programmable by means of the Curtis 1311
handheld programmer. Use of the programmer offers diagnostic and test ca
-
pability as well as configuration flexibility.
