Features
High frequency switching and ultra low voltage drop provides
very high efficiency and quiet operation. Costs, heatsinking
requirements and motor and battery losses are reduced. Low
end torque, range and battery life are increased.
Environmental protection provided by a sealed (factory
serviceable), rugged, anodized aluminum extrusion housing.
Simple mounting and wiring with push-on type connectors for
control signals. Plated solid copper busses used for all power
connections.
Thermal protection and compensation circuit provides undertemperature cutback, constant current limit over operating
range, and linear rollback in over-temperature. No sudden
loss of power under any thermal conditions.
Frequency shifting from 15 kHz to 1.5 kHz at low throttle
settings provides improved protection against stalled motors.
Heavy duty power base in 1231C contains additional active
devices to improve power handling capability.
Potentiometer fault protection circuitry disables the controller
if the throttle wires become open.
High Pedal Disable prevents controller operation if the key
switch is turned on while throttle is applied.

The Curtis PMC models 1231C and 1221C motor speed controllers
provide smooth, silent, efficient and cost effective speed control for
on-road electric vehicle applications. These controllers utilize power
MOSFET technology, pioneered by Curtis PMC, to provide benefits
unavailable with older speed control systems.
