EN ISO 13849 compliant

Using powerful dual-microprocessor logic cores that meet all relevant requirements of the EN ISO 13849-1:2009 functional safety standard, and the updated EN 1175-1:1998+A1:2010 industrial truck safety standard, Curtis Instruments has upgraded the Curtis AC motor speed controller family.

Full compliance with the new directive is now required before any industrial truck or similar vehicle can be CE marked and legally marketed within the European Economic Area (EEA).

The first in the Curtis "E" Series is the model 1232E which is said to deliver best-in-class control of AC induction motors and offers the highest levels of functional safety. It is designed for use as the traction controller on class 3 materials handling 'walkie' vehicles and other small battery-powered industrial trucks. It is equally suitable as the pump controller for auxiliary hydraulic functions on larger industrial vehicles.
