Curtis 1515 Controller

“

Product Information

Specifications:

  • Product Name: Curtis 1515
  • Function: Remanufactured controller for carts
  • Required Tool: Analog or digital volt ohm meter (VOM)

Product Usage Instructions

Steps to Perform Before Control Installation:

  1. CHECK MOTOR WINDINGS:
    • Set VOM to RESISTANCE ().
    • Measure A1 to A2: Between 0.3 and 1.
    • Measure F1 to F2: Between 1 and 2.
    • Measure A1 to F1: Must be OPEN.
    • Measure F1 to motor case: Greater than 5M.
  2. CHECK MAIN SOLENOID:
    • Disconnect all wires from the main solenoid.
    • Set VOM to RESISTANCE ().
    • Measure solenoid coil: No less than 100.
    • Attach jumpers from main battery positive and negative to the
      coil.
    • Meter must jump from infinity to less than 0.3.
  3. CHECK THE CART WIRE HARNESS:
    • Check connectors for corrosion, loose, broken, burnt, or
      missing pins.
    • Repair or replace pins as necessary.

Additional Information:

It is recommended to replace the solenoid when replacing the
controller. Popular replacement White Rodgers solenoids are
available for convenience.

FAQ

Club Car Precedent Excel Troubleshooting Sequence:

FOR SAFETY: Always lift the drive wheels off
the ground when troubleshooting!

  1. Measure Pack Voltage (Main Battery Positive
    Post):     Must be greater than 30V with the Charger
    disconnected.
  2. Pin 9: Must be equal to Pack Voltage.
  3. Pin 8: With F/R Switch in Forward, must equal
    Pack Voltage.

If any faults are found during troubleshooting, ensure they are
corrected before proceeding to the next step.

Note: Always refer to the user manual for detailed
instructions and safety precautions.

This sheet is provided to aid in the installation of your remanufactured CURTIS controller. Upon installation, you may encounter problems that may, or may not, be due to a faulty controller. The following steps must be taken to help diagnose a possible cart fault or faulty controller. An analog or digital volt ohm meter (VOM) will be needed to perform these checks.
WARRANTY WILL BE VOID
If These Steps are Not Performed Before Installing The Control
STEPS TO PERFORM BEFORE CONTROL INSTALLATION
CHECK MOTOR WINDINGS:
Set your VOM to RESISTANCE (). With your motor disconnected, measure A1 to A2. This must measure BETWEEN .3 and 1. With your motor disconnected, measure F1 to F2. This must measure BETWEEN 1 and 2. With your motor disconnected, measure A1 to F1. This must measure OPEN. With your motor disconnected, measure F1 to motor case. This must measure greater than 5M.
CHECK MAIN SOLENOID:
Disconnect all wires from the main solenoid. Set your VOM to RESISTANCE (). Measure the solenoid coil. This must measure NO LESS than 100. Connect VOM leads to the main solenoid lugs. Attach jumpers from main battery positive and negative to the coil (small terminals). Meter must jump from infinity to LESS THAN .3. Remove jumpers and reconnect solenoid wiring from the harness. (If suppression diode is present,
The non-banded side must go to the blue/white wire ­ pin 12 from controller.)
CHECK THE CART WIRE HARNESS:
Check the connectors on the wire harness for corrosion, loose, broken, burnt or missing pins. Repair or replace pins as necessary.
IF ANY OF THE ABOVE ITEMS ARE NOT WITHIN THE SPECIFICED RANGES THE CONTROLLER WILL FAIL. THESE ITEMS MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE THE CONTROLLER IS INSTALLED OR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.
It is recommended to replace your solenoid at the time of controller replacement. FSIP now stocks popular replacement White Rodgers solenoids for your convenience.

Club Car Precedent Excel Troubleshooting Sequence
FOR SAFETY, ALWAYS LIFT THE DRIVE WHEELS OFF THE GROUND WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING!
ALL TESTS ARE CONDUCTED WITH RUN-TOW/MAINTENANCE SWITCH IN THE RUN. ALSO, THE CONNECTOR MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE CONTROLLER WHEN MAKING THESE CHECKS. YOU WILL NEED TO `BACK PROBE’ THE PINS FROM THE WIRE SIDE OF THE CONNECTOR. USE A PAPERCLIP IF NECESSARY.
Attach voltmeter negative (-) lead to main battery ­ for the following tests
Use the following sequence when checking individual pins (don’t skip steps). If you find a fault, do not move on to the next step until the fault is corrected:
Measure the voltage at the main battery positive post (let’s call it Pack Voltage) Pin 5 With the Charger disconnected, must be greater than 30V (if less than 30V this control will be dead)
– If not, your OBC may be in sleep mode. Put your cart on charge for 1 minute, disconnect then
recheck. If you still do not have more than 30V at this pin, you may have an OBC issue.
Pin 9 Must be equal to Pack Voltage
– If not Pack Voltage, check wiring, Sense Diode (if present), Run-Tow/Maintenance Switch or Fuse.
Pin 8 With F/R Switch in Forward, must equal Pack Voltage
– If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and F/R Switch for an open condition.
Pin 16 With F/R Switch in Reverse, must equal Pack Voltage and Reverse Alarm should sound
– If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and F/R Switch for an open condition.
Pin 7 With F/R Switch in Reverse, must equal 0V and Reverse Alarm should sound
– If not 0V, check wiring and Reverse Alarm for an open condition.
Pin 10 With Key On, must equal Pack Voltage
– If not Pack Voltage, check Key Switch for open condition.
Pin 12 Must equal Pack Voltage
– If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and Main Solenoid Coil for an open condition
Pin 6 With Pedal Up, must equal 0V
– If not 0V, check wiring and Pedal Switch for a shorted condition.
Pin 6 With Pedal Down, must equal Pack Voltage
– If not Pack Voltage, check wiring and Pedal Switch for an open condition.
Pin 12 With Pedal Down, should equal approximately 0V
– If not approximately 0V, check wiring and Main Solenoid Coil.
Pin 1 Must equal 5V
– If not 5V, check wiring and check with MCOR removed ­ if voltage goes to 5V, replace MCOR.
Pin 3 Must equal 0V
– If not 0V, harness and/or harness connector is defective, check wiring.
Pin 2 With Pedal Up, must approximately 0.3 volts
– If not 0.3 volts, check wiring and MCOR
Pin 2 With Pedal fully depressed, must equal 4.15 to 4.45 volts
– If not, check wiring and MCOR
Pin 15 Approximately 15-16 volts
– If not, check wiring and check with Speed Sensor removed ­ if voltage goes to 15 volts, replace Speed Sensor
Pin 14 While slowly turning the drive wheel, must toggle between 0 and approx. 5 volts as Motor rotates.
– If not toggling, check wiring and if necessary, replace Speed Sensor
Pin 4 Brake Pot Input (If equipped) Approx. 0 ­ 5V as brake pedal depressed
– If not, check wiring and Brake Pot (if equipped)
