For potentiometers, the controller provides complete throttle fault
protection that meets all applicable EEC regulations. For voltage throttles, the
controller protects against out-of-range wiper values, but does not detect wiring
faults; it is therefore the responsibility of the OEM to provide full throttle fault
protection in vehicles using voltage throttles.
rottle types 1–3 use the forward and reverse inputs (switches 7 and 8) in
addition to the throttle pot input to define the throttle command (see Figure 15,
page 114). rottle types 4 and 5 do not use the forward and reverse inputs.
Wiring for the most common throttles is described in the following text
and shown in the accompanying illustrations. If a throttle you are planning to
use is not covered, contact your Curtis distributor or support engineer.
Throttle Type 1
For these 2-wire resistive potentiometers, shown in Figure 4, full throttle request
corresponds to 0 Ω measured between the pot wiper pin and the Pot Low pin.

Broken wire protection is provided by the controller sensing the current ow
from the pot wiper input (pin 16 or 17) through the potentiometer and into
Pot Low (pin 18). If the Pot Low input current falls below 0.65 mA, a throttle
fault is generated and the throttle request is zeroed. Note: Pot Low (pin 18)
must not be tied to ground (B-).
Throttle Type 2
With these throttles, the controller looks for a voltage signal at the wiper input.
Zero throttle request corresponds to 0 V and full throttle request to 5 V. A variety
of devices can be used with this throttle input type, including voltage sources,
current sources, 3-wire pots, and electronic throttles. e wiring for each is
slightly dierent, as shown in Figure 5, and they have varying levels of throttle
fault protection.
When a voltage source is used as a throttle, it is the responsibility of the
OEM to provide appropriate throttle fault detection. For ground-referenced
0–5V throttles, the controller will detect open breaks in the wiper input but
cannot provide full throttle fault protection.
To use a current source as a throttle, a resistor must be added to the
circuit to convert the current source value to a voltage; the resistor should be
sized to provide a 0–5V signal variation over the full current range. It is the
responsibility of the OEM to provide appropriate throttle fault detection.
