MODEL 1212-1

MyChair® Programmability PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR SPEED CONTROLLER Mobility System MODEL 1212 FEATURES 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 under-voltage or overtemperature. • Optional speed limit potentiometer input provides direct and linear control over the maximum vehicle speed. • Proprietary algorithms help prevent gearbox wear while providing smooth starts and reversals. • The vehicle is brought to a complete halt before the electromagnetic brake is applied, ensuring safe and secure stopping under all conditions. • Charger inhibit input prevents driving while charger is connected. • Emergency Stop Decel function ensures a smooth “brake to stop” when the key is turned off or a fault occurs that requires the vehicle to stop. • Anti-roll back/roll-forward function provides smooth and safe vehicle control on hills and ramps. DESCRIPTION • Internal main contactor provides secure power-off. The Curtis Model 1212 Motor Speed Controller provides precise • Boost current gives a brief boost of current greatly improving and smooth control of permanent magnet drive motors for battery powered vehicles. performance with transient loads such as starting on a hill, crossing thresholds, climbing obstacles, etc. APPLICATION Easy Installation and Setup Optimized for use on modern 3 or 4 wheel mobility aid scooters. However, the model 1212’s programmable options also allow it to be used on any low power permanent magnet motor application. • Industry standard footprint, mounting centers and wiring allows drop-in replacement of other controllers. • The Model 1212 is easily programmed with Model 1311 handheld or 1314 PC programmers, or can be supplied pre-programmed. • Accepts all standard throttle types, including single-ended and center-off (wig-wag and unipolar). • Simplified troubleshooting and diagnostics. • Standard Mini-Fit Molex Jr. and Faston terminals provide proven, robust wiring connections. www.curtisinstruments.com
