CURTIS 1215-8307 DC Motor Controller
- 36-48V, 500 Amperes
- Attention: this is not an original CURTIS product
- Your attention please: CURTIS had stopped the production of 1219-8406. This 1215-8307 DC Series Motor controller is a product of a Chinese manufacturer. With same dimensions and functions of the original products, this 1215-8307 can also be programmed by CURTIS Curtis Model 1313-4431 Handhold Programmer or 1314-4402 PC Programming Station.
- Typical application: forward/reverse running controller of 1.5-3T electric forklift and other electric vehicles.
- By default, we will deliver the controller of setting of 36-48V (wide working voltage) / 600A / 0-5kΩ (throttle type "3").
- If you need to change the throttle setting or modify any controller parameter, please leave us a message for demanding it. There is no extra cost for reprogramming the controller.
According to the vehicle type and buyer's requirement, we may reprogram the controller 1215-8307 with CURTIS CURTIS Model 1313-4331 Handheld Programmer or CURTIS 1314 PC programming station. There is no extra cost for reprogramming the controller.
Application Vehicle Example
The Curtis Model 1219 is intended for use as the traction controller on class 3 material handling "walkies" and other small industrial trucks. It is equally suitable as the pump controller for auxiliary hydraulic functions on larger industrial vehicles.
Example: controllers 1219-8406 are used as driving motor controller of Noblelift pallet truck PT20. For more controller setting details, click here to download the controller parameter list (PDF format), controller program for Noblelift PT20. Attention, this controller program has steering function (working with an EPS controller 1220-2201). Some PT20 pallet trucks have not an EPS controller. The controller program is different for these trucks. For more details, please contact us.
