Curtis 1207A-4119 Controller 24V 250A（5K-0）PMC Motor Controller

Description

Curtis 1207A-4119 Main Features

1.24V/250A current control capability

The nominal operating voltage of 1207A-4119 is 24V, with a maximum current limit of 250A. The reference materials provide current capabilities for different time periods as follows:

• 1 minute: 250A
• 2 minutes: 200A
• 5 minutes: 150A
• 1 hour: 100A

Therefore, 250A is the highest short-time current level of the controller and does not mean that the device can continuously output 250A for a long time. The actual current will vary depending on the vehicle load, operating time, temperature, and controller protection strategy.

2.5K-0 Ω throttle input

Curtis 1207A-119 uses a 5K-0 Ω (5k Ω to 0 Ω) throttle input.

This parameter is a very important basis for selecting a replacement controller. If the original vehicle is using 0-5V, 0-5k Ω or other types of throttle signals, it is necessary to first confirm whether the controller supports them, rather than selecting based solely on voltage and current.

3.15kHz high-frequency operation

The operating frequency of this model is 15kHz. Suitable for small electric vehicles with requirements for operating noise.

4.Compact design

The external dimensions of 1207A-119 are only:

• Length: 165mm
• Width: 122mm
• Depth: 66mm
• Weight: 1.1kg

The 1207A series adopts a more compact design than other Curtis controllers while maintaining high power functionality, making it suitable for vehicles with limited installation space.

5.Power MOSFET technology

The controller adopts Power MOSFET.

• High efficiency
• Low noise operation
• Stable motor control

This power device is suitable for small electric vehicles that require frequent speed and current regulation.

6.Overvoltage and undervoltage protection

1207A-119 has overvoltage and undervoltage protection functions to reduce the risk of damage to the controller and vehicle load caused by abnormal battery voltage. Reference specifications display:

• Minimum operating voltage: 16V
• Maximum operating voltage: 30V
• Undervoltage value: 16V
• Overvoltage value: 33V

Therefore, this controller is suitable for 24V battery systems, not 36V or 48V systems.

7.Temperature protection and current derating

1207A-119 is equipped with temperature protection and compensation circuits, which can adjust the current output according to the temperature of the radiator.

• Working environment temperature: -25 ℃ to 50 ℃
• Low temperature derating point: -25 ℃
• Overheating and derating point of radiator: 85 ℃

This design can help the controller maintain a more stable working state under different temperature conditions.

8.Support fault detection

The controller integrates a fault detection circuit internally, which can monitor some key components in the vehicle, including batteries and bypass contactors. This feature helps reduce the risk of abnormal operation and loss of control, while also facilitating troubleshooting of vehicle control systems.

Rich Control and Safety Features

1. Static return closed

The Static Return to Off function requires the forward/reverse selector switch to return to neutral before allowing the controller to output, which helps prevent accidental actions when the vehicle starts.

2. Neutral start

The Neutral Start function can prevent the vehicle from starting when it is not in neutral, thereby improving the safety of vehicle starting.

3. Neutral brake

The controller supports Neutral Braking/Plug Braking function, which can automatically activate the insertion brake in neutral mode.

4. Emergency Reverse

The Emergency Reverse function can help the vehicle quickly stop moving forward and achieve smooth reversing.

5. Ramp start

The Ramp Start function can provide corresponding power output when the vehicle starts climbing, helping the vehicle start more smoothly.

6. Multi mode input

MultiMode Input can limit the maximum speed of the vehicle and provide two operating modes to meet different operational needs.

1207A-4119 Programmable Functions

Curtis 1207A-119 supports parameter adjustment, testing, and diagnosis using a handheld programmer. Its functions include:

• Set controller parameters
• Adjust operational functions
• Conduct system testing
• Fault diagnosis

Therefore, 1207A-119 can not only be used as a fixed parameter controller, but also configured according to the specific operational needs of the vehicle.

Some Models Support Onboard Potentiometer Adjustment

The 1207 series single-mode models can be equipped with onboard potentiometers. The potentiometer can be manually adjusted:

• Maximum speed
• Acceleration
• Insert brake current limit
• Main current limit

This feature is suitable for applications that require simple and intuitive adjustment of vehicle driving performance. It should be noted that this feature belongs to the specific configuration of the 1207 series single-mode model, and should not be assumed that all 1207A-119 products are equipped with onboard potentiometers.
