Features Include:
* Power MOSFET design, providing * infinitely variable drive and plug brake control
* silent high-frequency operation
* high efficiency (for reduced motor and battery losses)
* Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
* Thermal protection/compensation circuitry that provides undertemperature cutback, constant current limit over operating range,
and linear rollback in overtemperature—thus preventing sudden power loss regardless of thermal conditions
* Diagnostic and test information for the controller—and other system components—readily available through both an on-board LED
and the optional handheld programmer
* Meets or exceeds EEC fault detect requirements, with circuitry and software to detect faults in the throttle circuit, MOSFET
drive circuits, MOSFET output, contactor drivers, and contactors
* Programmable input sequencing options include several combinations of neutral start and static return to off (SRO)
* Arcless contactor switching with microprocessor-controlled contactor sequencing
* Smooth, controlled plug braking: with either variable (throttledependent) or fixed plug current limit
* Neutral braking option provides automatic plug braking in neutral
* MultiMode™ input selects between two different operating modes, thus allowing optimization of vehicle characteristics for
different driving conditions
* Emergency reverse (belly button switch) provides full function with a single input
* Anti-rollback (ramp start) provides full power for starting on ramps
* Simple contactor and switch wiring, with coil drivers monitored for shorts and open circuits—thus ensuring fail-safe operation
* Flexible throttle circuitry accommodates a variety of throttle types: 5kΩ–0, 0–5kΩ, 0–5V, 0–10V, inductive, Hall, etc.
* Programmable “ramp shape” (static throttle map) provides flexibility in selecting throttle response feel
* Sealed package, providing environmental protection
* Power connections made by tin-plated solid copper busses, with a polarized Molex connector for control signals
* Easily programmable through the CURTIS Model 1313-4331 Handheld Programmer or 1314 PC Programming Station.
* Rugged anodized aluminum extruded housing meets IP65 environmental sealing standards for use in harsh environments.
