Curtis Model 3150R – Oct. 2022
OPERATING CURRENT
The operating current depends upon the B+ voltage and whether the LCD heater is enabled:

I/Os
The following topics describe how to connect and configure the I/Os.
Battery Connections
Connect the battery to the B− and B+ inputs (pins 3 and 4). Curtis recommends that you include a
fuse in the circuit that connects the battery to the B+ input, as shown in
. The fuse protects
the power system from external shorts. Size the fuse according to the application’s requirements.
Keyswitch Input
Connect a keyswitch to the keyswitch (pin 7) and B+ inputs. The operating voltage is the same as the
device’s
. The input is active high when switched to B+.
Switch Inputs
Model 3150R provides up to three switch inputs. Some models use pins 5–6 as the Switch 1 and
Switch 2 inputs, while other models use pins 5–6 as a serial port.
All models include the Switch 3 input (pin 8). Pin 8 can also be used as a lift lockout output. To
configure pin 8 as the Switch 3 input, set the 32 bit CAN object
0x6709:05
to 1.
The switch inputs are active high when switched to B+. The inputs’ operating voltages are the same
as the device’s operating voltage. The following table describes the switch input specifications:
