3 — INSTALLATION, WIRING AND CONFIGURATION
Curtis Model 3150R – Oct. 2022
pg. 18
Lift Lockout Output
Pin 8 can be configured as a lift lockout output. The output is active when the BDI percentage is less
than the percentage specified by the
parameter. The output withstands voltage turn-off
spikes that are typical of inductive loads.
To configure pin 8 as a lift lockout output, set the 32-bit CAN object
0x6709:05
to 0.
The following table describes the lift lockout driver specifications:

Serial Communication Interface (SCI) Port
Some models use pins 5-6 as an SCI port. The port is used to read the following data from Curtis
controllers that support the SCI:
• BDI percentage
• Hour meter
• Speed mode
• Parking brake status
• Fault codes
When a controller is connected to the serial port, the 3150R automatically gets speed mode, parking
brake status and fault code data from the controller. The gauge also gets the BDI percentage and hour
meter data from the controller if the following parameters specify SCI:
•
•
Note: GUI 3 displays data for the controller connected to the serial port.
CAN Connections
To connect the gauge to the CANbus, connect CAN Low and CAN High to pins 1 and 2. Use twisted-
pair wiring to minimize the likelihood of picking up a voltage bias on only one signal.
Some models include a 120Ω terminating resistor.
