1 — OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Curtis 1207B programmable motor speed controller provides efficient,
cost-effective, and simple-to-install control for a variety of small electric ve
-
hicles. Typical applications include walkie fork/pallet trucks, mini personnel
carriers, and sweepers. The microprocessor-based logic section combined with
a proven MOSFET power section gives the 1207B controller high power and
advanced features in a simple, compact package. The optional programmers
(Curtis 1311 and 1314) enable the user to set parameters, conduct tests, and
obtain diagnostic information quickly and easily.

More Features
Like all Curtis motor controllers, the 1207B models offer superior operator
control of the vehicle’s motor drive speed. Features
include:
✓ Power MOSFET design, providing
• infinitely variable drive and plug brake control
• silent high-frequency operation
• high efficiency (for reduced motor and battery losses)
✓ Compact size
✓ Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
✓ Thermal protection and compensation circuitry provides
undertemperature cutback, constant current limit, and linear rollback
in overtemperature—thus preventing sudden power loss regardless of
thermal conditions
✓ Curtis 1311 handheld programmer (optional) provides a full set
of parameter and function settings, as does the Curtis 1314 PC
Programming Station (optional)
✓ Diagnostic and test information for the controller—and other system
components—readily available both on-board and through the
programmer
