CURTIS SepEx Controller 1268-5403 Assy 36/48V 400A With Accelerator

Vehicle speed setting: for limiting the maximum speed of vehicle, the buyer may need to provide the speed limit (Max. Speed), gear ratio and tire size (tire diameter, the buyer may provide the exact tire model for that we can determine the tire diameter). By calculating the parameter "RPM TO SPEED", and setting the parameters "M1/M2 FWD SPEED" and "REV SPEED", the vehicle forward and reverse speeds could be limited within a safe range.

We may reprogram the controller for adapting itself to your vehicle's specification. You may send us the list of parameters to be modified (Click here to download the parameter list of default setting of controller 1268-5403, PDF format). There is no extra cost for reprogramming the controller.

Overview:

CURTIS 1268 controllers are separately excited motor speed controllers designed for use in a variety of transport vehicles. These programmable controllers are simple to install, efficient, and cost effective. Typical applications include heavy-duty golf carts, personnel transports, burden carriers, and other utility vehicles.

The 1268 controller offers smooth, silent, cost effective control of motor speed and torque. The speed sensor input allows superior closed-loop control for regulating vehicle speed. Unique braking parameters allow simple, intuitive deceleration tuning. A full-bridge field winding control stage is combined with a half-bridge armature power stage to provide solid state motor reversing and regenerative braking power without additional relays or contactors.
