  • Throttle Type: By default, the Throttle Type of controller 1228-2430 is set as Type “0”. The controller 1228-2430 can be programmed to accept single-ended, wigwag, or inverted wigwag signals from a 5kΩ, 3-wire pot or from a 5V throttle. The throttle input signal type options (Types “0” through “5” in the Throttle Type programming menu) are listed as below:
    • 0 = wigwag pot or voltage throttle
    • 1 = inverted wigwag pot or voltage throttle
    • 2 = single-ended pot; maximum speed = 5kΩ
    • 3 = inverted single-ended pot; maximum speed = 0
    • 4 = single-ended voltage throttle; maximum speed = 5V
    • 5 = inverted single-ended voltage throttle; maximum speed = 0
  • Dimensions: W91xL156xH43 mm
  • Net Weight: 0.6 kg
  • Regulatory compliance: Designed to ANSI RESNA WC 14/21, ISO 7176-14, ISO 7176-21, and EN 12184. Documentation available to support 510K FDA filings.
  • Operating ambient temperature range: -25°C to 50°C
  • Storage ambient temperature range: -40°C to 70°C
  • Package environmental rating: IP40
Features Include:

  • Full bridge power MOSFET design, providing
    • infinitely variable forward, reverse, drive, and brake control
    • silent high frequency operation
    • high efficiency
  • Complete diagnostics through the CURTIS programmer and a status LED
  • Full compliance with all applicable international standards
  • Available for single-ended or wigwag 5kΩ potentiometer throttles and 5V throttles (both standard full stroke and restricted range)
  • MultiMode™ input selects between two different operating modes, thus allowing optimization of vehicle characteristics for different driving conditions (for example, indoor/outdoor)
  • Speed limit input provides linear variable speed limiting when an external speed limit pot is used
  • Current limiting in both driving and regenerative braking modes
  • Load compensation stabilizes speed on ramps and over obstacles
  • Speed scaler eliminates variations in maximum speed that would otherwise result from variations in battery charge levels
  • High pedal disable (HPD) function with lockout monitors status of the throttle during turn-on and prevents operation until the throttle has been returned to neutral
  • Key-off deceleration function provides a controlled deceleration if the keyswitch is turned off while driving
  • “E Stop” provides a faster deceleration for emergency stops
  • Seat lift function simplifies the wiring required to implement seat lift in DME scooter applications
  • Comprehensive fault detection monitors main contactor, output stage, throttle demand vs. output, etc., and disables the drive functions if any conditions are outside specified limits
  • ISO 7176 compliant throttle fault detection circuitry inhibits driving if throttle pot signal goes out of range for any reason
  • Missing/shorted brake detection forces neutral in the event of an open or shorted brake circuit
  • Anti-rollback/anti-roll-forward function sets brake delay according to speed and direction for improved braking response and minimized rollback on hills, etc.
  • Reverse beeper option can be used to drive a low current dc horn when vehicle is in reverse
  • “Push” input electrically releases brake for key-on pushing (requires that the vehicle be stopped first)
  • “Push-Too-Fast” feature guards against unpowered vehicle runaway by powering up and regulating motor voltage to limit vehicle speed
  • Inhibit input disables the controller and puts the vehicle in a safe state during charging, etc.
  • Power saver deactivates the main relay after 25 seconds of nonoperation and deactivates the entire controller after the programmed sleep delay has elapsed
  • BDI output can be used to provide data to a voltmeter; the BDI output can be “stuffed” (optional) in order to display the battery state of charge during battery charging even while the keyswitch is turned off
  • Undervoltage cutback function protects against operation at low battery voltage
  • Overvoltage protection shorts the motor and disables driving in the event of excessive battery voltage
  • Thermally protected
  • Reverse polarity protected (battery input)
  • Easily programmable through the CURTIS Model 1313-4331 Handheld Programmer or 1314 PC Programming Station.
