DESCRIPTION
Curtis PMC 1207 series of motor speed controllers feature
a microprocessor based logic section combined with a
proven MOSFET power section. The 1207 series control-
lers are efficient, cost effective and easy to install.
APPLICATION
The Curtis PMC 1207 controllers are ideally suited for
small electric vehicle applications, such as walkie fork/
pallet trucks, mini personnel carriers, sweepers, and other
small series or compound motor applications.
F eat u res
• Compact size.
• Advanced high frequency power section utilizing custom
power MOSFETs provides high efficiency, silent operation
and reduced motor and battery losses.
• Power connections made by solid copper busses with
polarized Molex connector for control signals.
• Thermal protection and compensation circuitry provide
under temperature cutback, constant current limit over the
operating range and linear rollback in over temperature.
No sudden loss of power under any thermal conditions.

• Over voltage and under voltage protection.
• Fully compatible with 1311, 1314, and 1307
Programmers for full parametric adjustment, tuning,
test and diagnostics.
• Complete diagnostics of the controller can also be
accomplished with the built-in status LED.
• Potentiometers (on board) provide adjustment for
acceleration rate, creep speed, low speed, plug
current and main current limit by direct screwdriver
adjustment, where a programmer is unavailable.
Only single mode, two speed operation is
available when potentiometers are active.
• Meets or exceeds EEC fault detection requirements with
circuitry and software to detect faults in the throttle circuit,
MOSFET drive circuits, MOSFET transistors, contactor
drivers and contactors.
• Input sequencing options include neutral start (HPD) and
static return to off (SRO).
• True arcless contactor switching with microprocessor
controlled contactor sequencing.
• Throttle position variable or fixed plugging
current options.
• Neutral braking option provides for automatic plug braking
in neutral.
• MultiMode™ option for programmable two mode (current
limit, speed, acceleration) operation.
• Emergency reverse function (belly button) provides full
function with a single input. Additional output provides for
an emergency reverse circuit
continuity check.
• Anti-rollback (ramp start) function gives full power for
starting on ramps.
• Simple contactor and switch wiring. Coil drivers are
monitored for short and open circuit for
fail-safe operation.
• Flexible throttle circuitry accepts a variety of
throttle types including: 5k-0, 0-5k, 0-5v, 0-10v, and three
wire potentiometer.
