1 — OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Curtis 1230 motor controller is an AC induction motor speed controller
designed for use in a variety of material handling vehicles. Typical applications
include walkie/rider pallet trucks, low lifts, stackers, sweeper/scrubber machines,
and other small industrial vehicles. This high performance programmable con-
troller is simple to install, efficient, and cost effective.

Fig. 1 Curtis 1230
AC motor controller.
The 1230 controller offers smooth precise control of motor speed and
torque. When used with hydraulic systems, the 1230 turns the pump motor
on and off and also controls valves on the hydraulic line—thus controlling the
hydraulic path for Lift and Lower operations.
These controllers are fully programmable through Curtis’s optional 1311
handheld programmer or 1314 PC programming station. The programmer
provides diagnostic and test capability in addition to configuration flexibility.
The 1230 is also designed to work with the optional Curtis 840 Spyglass
data display and the optional Curtis 1312 tiller multiplexer.

1 — OVERVIEW
Like all Curtis motor controllers, the 1230 offers superior operator control of
motor speed. Features include:
✓ 60–200 amp AC induction motor controller
✓ MultiMode™ feature allows two distinct user-selectable operation
modes
✓ Programmability through the Curtis 1311 handheld programmer and
1314 PC programming station
✓ Complete diagnostics through the 1311 and 1314 programmers and
through the controller’s built-in Status LED
✓ Throttle input for single-ended or wigwag 5kΩ pots or 0–5V throttles
(both standard full stroke and restricted range)
✓ Active precharge of controller capacitor bank extends life of main
contactor tips
✓ Two hourmeters—total KSI-on hours and drive hours—and their associ-
ated maintenance timers are built into the controller, with EEPROM
storage (no battery)
✓ BDI calculations performed within controller
✓ Meets EEC fault detection requirements
✓ Fault detection circuitry on throttle inputs can be used to inhibit
operation if throttle signal goes out of range for any reason (applies both
to the traction throttle and, in applications that include a proportional
valve, to the hydraulic throttle as well)
✓ Stall protection
✓ Internal reverse polarity protection (no external diode required)
✓ Continuous diagnostics during operation, with microprocessor
power-on self-test
✓ All output drivers are short-circuit protected and provide built-in
coil spike protection
✓ Positive battery connections for all inputs
✓ Fully protected inputs
✓ Internal and external watchdog circuits ensure proper software operation
✓ High environmental protection rating (IP53)
✓ 3-wire serial interface for multifunction display

Curtis 1230 Manual, Rev. C
1 — OVERVIEW
Additional features on 1230-2X01 models (for use with multiplexer)
✓ 4-wire serial interface for all tiller functions
✓ Two auxiliary outputs, controlled by switches on the tiller multiplexer,
can be used for a lift relay, lowering valve, horn, etc.
✓ Internal main contactor for battery reverse polarity protection and ad-
ditional safety
✓ Variable PWM voltage for precise control during lift/lower operation,
in applications with a proportional valve
Curtis Model 840 Spyglass Display
✓ 3-wire serial interface
✓ Sequences between hourmeter, BDI, and error displays
✓ Alphanumeric, 8 character, 5 mm LCD display for hourmeter, BDI,
and fault messages
✓ Operating temperature range -10°C to 70°C; models with lower
temperature ratings available for freezer applications
Curtis Model 1312 Tiller Multiplexer
✓ 4-wire serial interface increases reliability
✓ Multiplexes up to 12 signals, analog or digital
✓ All signals sampled 50 times per second
✓ Signal integrity checked 150 times per second.
Familiarity with your Curtis controller will help you install and operate it prop-
erly. We encourage you to read this manual carefully. If you have questions,
please contact the Curtis office nearest you.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING
MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER
The 1230 controller can be oriented in any position, and meets the IP53 ratings
for environmental protection against dust and water. However, the location
should be carefully chosen to keep the controller clean and dry. If a clean,
dry mounting location cannot be found, a cover must be used to shield the
controller from water and contaminants.
When selecting the mounting position, be sure to also take into consid-
eration (1) that the built-in Status LED is visible only through the view port
in the label on top of the controller, and (2) that convenient access is needed
at the top of the controller to plug the programmer into its connector.
The outline and mounting hole dimensions for the 1230 controller are
shown in Figure 2. To ensure full rated power, the controller should be fastened
to a clean, flat metal surface with four 6 mm (1/4”) diameter bolts, using the
