Curtis Model 3401T – August 2022
BATTERY CONNECTIONS
Connect the battery to the B+ and B– inputs (pins 16 and 15). Curtis recommends that you
include a fuse in the circuit that connects the battery to the B+ input as shown in
.
The fuse will protect the power system from external shorts and should be sized according to
your application’s requirements.
KEYSWITCH
The keyswitch input (pin 7) is active high. Connect the keyswitch input to B+ via a keyswitch.
SWITCH 1–5 INPUTS
The switch 1–5 inputs can be configured for various functions. The following table lists the inputs’
pins, functions, and the parameters used to configure the functions:

The following sections describe these inputs.
Switch Inputs
The switch 1–4 inputs can be configured as active high (switched to B+) or active low (switched to
B–). If pin 8 is configured as switch input 5, the input is active high. The switches’ statuses can be
used to turn
on or off.
To configure pin 8 as a switch input, set the
parameter to Switch Input Mode.
The voltage range of the switch inputs is identical to the B+ operating voltage range. The input signals
must be within the range of threshold voltages listed in the following table:
