INITIAL SETUP
e 1232E/SE, 1234E/SE, 1236E/SE, and 1238E controllers can be used in
a variety of vehicles, which dier widely in characteristics. Before driving the
vehicle, it is imperative that these initial setup procedures be carefully followed
to ensure that the controller is set up to be compatible with your application.

Correct values for the motor parameters (Motor Type,
FW Base Speed, and Field Weakening) must be determined
individually for each motor.
For ACIM motors, use one of these three options to obtain
ACIM motor data:
➡
Contact your Curtis distributor or support engineer
with the manufacturer’s part number for your motor.
Curtis has a database of many motors for which the
motor data has already been determined.
➡
Send your ACIM motor to Curtis for testing on the
factory motor dyno. Your motor’s data will be en-
tered into the Curtis database and we will send you
software with the appropriate parameter values set to
match your motor. Contact your Curtis distributor
or support engineer before shipping your motor.
➡
Use the ACIM Motor Characterization Procedure
(Section 6a), which has the controller “learn” the
motor parameter data. e procedure should take
about half an hour and can be done on the vehicle.
Go ahead and complete setup steps

of the Initial Setup before conducting the ACIM
characterization procedure.
For SPM motors, use the SPM Motor Characterization
Procedure (Section 6b), which has the controller “learn” the
motor parameter data. e procedure should take about
half an hour and can be done on the vehicle. Go ahead
and complete setup steps

through
bl
of the Initial Setup
before conducting the SPM characterization procedure.
Using the SPM Motor Characterization Procedure is the
only option for obtaining motor data for SPM motors.
If Curtis has given you the values for Motor Type, FW Base Speed, and Field
Weakening and you have set them on your controller (see Motor Control
Tuning menus, pages 57–58), you can start conducting the setup procedures.
If you will be using the automated Motor Characterization Procedure, that will
come later—after you have completed steps

.
For SPM applications, start the setup procedures now.
