Description:
Curtis PMC Model 1243 SepEx® programmable controllers provide smooth and seamless regenerative control of separately excited motors. An advanced MOSFET power section, combined with a sophisticated microprocessor provides very high efficiency, silent operation and reduced motor and battery losses.
Application:
Curtis PMC Model 1243 SepEx ® controllers are designed for small material handling and other light industrial vehicles using separately excited motors. These include low lifts, stackers, personnel carriers and other industrial vehicles.
{tab=Features}
- Unparalleled Driving and Braking Feel
 
- Regenerative braking allows shorter stopping distances, increases usable battery energy, and reduces motor heating. The half bridge armature drive topology allows regenerative braking down to zero vehicle speed.
 
- "Ramp Restraint" feature provides automatic electronic braking that restricts vehicle movement while in neutral.
 
- Vehicle speed is controlled by the throttle, at all times including down hills.
 
- "Load Compensation" provides improved loaded versus unloaded speed regulation by compensating for losses in the armature.
 
Fully Programmable
- Fully compatible with the Curtis Models 1311 and 1314
 
- programmers for programming, test, and diagnostic information.
 
- MultiMode™ feature allows four user selectable vehicle operating profiles. Each profile has separate drive current limits, brake current limits, acceleration rates, brake rates and maximum speeds.
 
Easy to Install and Maintain
- No direction contactors are required. The full bridge field driver topology allows motor reversing without the use of direction contactors.
 
- Simple wiring and installation by the elimination of the direction contactors and the use of positive battery connections for all inputs and driver outputs.
 
- Can be configured to match most separately excited motors and vehicle applications.
 
- An auxiliary driver output supports an electro-magnetic brake, pump contactor, or hour meter. A programmable delay allows for customization of this driver output.
 
- An integral fault LED flashes helpful error code information. Two fault outputs provide diagnostic information for dash mounted displays. Diagnostic faults are logged and the history is viewable through a Curtis Model 1311 and 1314 programmer.
 
Powerful Safety Features
- Meets or exceeds EEC fault detection requirements. Circuitry and software to detect faults in the throttle circuit and MOSFET drive circuits help prevent unsafe operation.
 
- Emergency reverse feature causes quick vehicle reversal upon activation. The emergency reverse input wire can also be checked for continuity.
 
- Programmable HPD and SRO interlock options ensure proper startup sequence.
 
- Complies with the CE standards for electromagnetic compatibility in emissions and susceptibility.
 
- Active power on self test and continuous diagnostics during operation. Internal and external watchdog circuits ensure proper software operation.
 
- All inputs and outputs are fully protected.
 
Meets or complies with relevant US and International Regulations
- Manufactured under ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System.
 
- UL Recognized Component Status.
