OVERVIEW
Curtis 1214-8, 1215-8, and 1219-8 programmable motor speed controllers
provide efficient, cost-effective, and simple-to-install control for a variety of large
industrial vehicles. Typical applications include walkie/rider pallet trucks, fork
lifts, stackers, reach trucks, and other industrial trucks.
The 1207-based microprocessor logic section combined with a Curtis
MOSFET power section gives the 1214-/15-/19-8 controller high power and
advanced features in a rugged, compact package. The optional handheld pro-
grammer enables the user to set parameters, conduct tests, and obtain diagnostic
information quickly and easily.

Like all Curtis motor controllers, the 1214-/15-/19-8 controller offers 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)
✓ Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
✓ Thermal protection/compensation circuitry that provides
undertemperature cutback, constant current limit over operating range,
