1226BL
The Curtis Model 1226BL Motor Speed Controllers provide efficient, optimal control of Brushless
DC drive motors for battery powered vehicles. Optimized for use on light duty Class III pallet
trucks and sweeper scrubber floorcare machines. Highly flexible programmability allows them to
be applied on any low power BLDC motor application.
FEATURES
Easy Installation and Set-up
▶▶ CAN bus models can be programmed with Curtis Integrated Toolkit
(CIT) as well as the Curtis model 1313 handheld programmer.
▶▶ Serial bus models can be programmed with Curtis 1314
programming station (PCPS) as well as the Curtis model 1313
handheld programmer.
▶▶ Simplified troubleshooting and diagnostics.
▶▶ Industry standard Molex Mini-fit Jr. logic connectors and heavier
duty M5 threaded busbars for battery and motor wiring.
Smooth and Secure Control
▶▶ Advanced speed regulation maintains precise speed over varied
terrain, obstacles, curbs and ramps.
▶▶ Linear cutback of current ensures smooth control with no sudden
loss of power during undervoltage or overtemperature.
▶▶ Emergency reverse inputs.
▶▶ Temporary “Boost Current” feature provides greatly improved
performance with transient loads such as starting on a hill,
crossing thresholds, climbing obstacles, etc.
▶▶ Hydraulic lift lockout functionality to protect the vehicle’s
batteries from damaging level of discharge.
▶▶ Dynamic pot fault detection (open/short wiring fault detection).
▶▶ Electromagnetic brake driver. Flexible I/O
▶▶ Hydraulic pump contactor driver (24V and 36/48V models). ▶▶ I/O can be configured to provide up to:
–– Two analog/digital inputs;
▶▶ Main contactor driver (72V model).
–– One potentiometer input;
▶▶ Embedded main relay (24V and 36/48V models). –– Supports 60° or 120° Hall position sensors;
▶▶ Supports a motor temperature sensor. –– Three 1.5A coil drivers;
–– One motor temperature sensor input;
▶▶ Inputs are protected against shorts to B+ and B–.
–– +5V and +14V external power supply
▶▶ Short-circuit protected outputs. (Total 120mA).
