Curtis Speed Controller
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Curtis PMC 1243 controller No attempt should be made to
open the controller Opening the controller may damage it and will void the warranty
However, it is recommended that the controller exterior be cleaned periodically If a handheld programmer is
available, this periodic cleaning provides a good opportunity to check the controller’s diagnostic history file.
Programming Vehicle Speed Changes
The maximum high speed M1 (transport) and maximum low speed M2 (scrub) can be changed electronically
using the handheld programmer To change a parameter using the programmer:
1 Press the
PROGRAM
key and scroll down the Program Menu until the desired parameter is the top line
of the display
2 Press the appropriate
CHANGE VALUE
key (up or down) until the desired number is reached. The
parameter is now set at the desired value
All programming occurs in real time In other words, the parameters can be changed while the vehicle is in
operation The upper and lower limits of parameters are set at the factory
Some parameters have dependencies on other parameters When the programmer is being used to adjust
a parameter and a limit is reached, the display will stop changing To see why the display has stopped
changing, press the
MORE INFO
key. If the limit is related to another parameter, that information will be
displayed Changing the value of the related parameter may allow the original parameter to be adjusted
further Otherwise, the display simply says
Max Limit
or
Min Limit
Use of the programmer models 1307 (old style) and 1311 (new style) is described more fully in the Curtis
