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
2 Curtis 1207B Manual
✓ Circuitry and software detects faults in the throttle circuit, MOSFET
drive circuit, MOSFET transistors, contactor drivers, and contactors—
ensuring that the controller meets EEC fault detect requirements
✓ Input sequencing options include neutral start and static return to off
(SRO)
✓ Microprocessor-controlled contactor sequencing provides true arcless
contactor switching
✓ Smooth, controlled plug braking—with either variable (throttle-
dependent) or fixed plug current limit
✓ Neutral braking option provides automatic plug braking in neutral
✓ MultiMode™ input selects between two different operating modes,
thus allowing optimization of vehicle characteristics for different driving
conditions
✓ Emergency reverse (belly-button switch) with a single input
✓ Ramp-start feature provides full power for starting on ramps
✓ Simple contactor and switch wiring, with coil drivers monitored for
faults—thus ensuring fail-safe operation
✓ Flexible throttle circuitry accommodates a variety of throttle types
✓ Programmable “ramp shape” (static throttle map) provides flexibility in
selecting throttle response feel
✓ Connections made by solid copper power busses with a polarized Molex
connector for control signals
✓ Solid, well-protected construction—with an aluminum mounting plate
and injection-molded cover.
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 1207B controller can be oriented in any position, but the location should
be carefully chosen to keep the controller as clean and dry as possible. If a
clean mounting location cannot be found, a cover must be used to shield
the controller from water and contaminants.
To ensure full rated output power, the controller should be fastened to
a clean, flat metal surface with three screws. The case outline and mounting
hole dimensions are shown in Figure 2.
Although not usually necessary, a thermal joint compound can be used
to improve heat conduction from the case to the mounting surface.

CONNECTIONS: High Current
Four tin-plated copper bus bars are provided for the high current connections
to the battery and motor:
M- output to motor armature
B- negative connection to battery
B+ positive connection to battery/field
A2 plug diode to motor armature
Cables are fastened to the bus bars by M8 (5⁄16") bolts.
When tightening the bolts, two opposing wrenches should
be used to prevent bending the bus bars and putting undue
strain on the internal connections.
Programmer Connector
A 4-pin Molex connector is provided for the 1311 handheld programmer or
the 1314 PC Programming Station. A mating cable is supplied with the 1311
handheld programmer.
Status LED
The Status LED, located on top of the controller, displays flashing codes to
indicate controller status; the codes are listed in Section 5.

WIRING: Standard Configuration (Series Motor)
The basic wiring for series motors with field reversing is shown in Figure 3.
Fig. 3 Standard
wiring diagram
(series motor),
Curtis 1207B controller.
The configuration shown in Figure 3 is a typical arrangement for a series mo-
tor. Curtis controllers are designed for use in a wide range of applications, and
accordingly can be installed in a variety of ways to best meet customer needs.
Note: The emergency reverse check feature (wiring shown by dashed line) is
a factory option.
