2.2 Mounting
The Curtis model 3100T is mounted in a 45 X 92 mm cutout. In
addition to the snap t case design, a mounting bracket is available.
3. Operation
Upon initial power up, all display segments and warning LED
icons are illuminated for 1 second and then turned off. The unit
is then ready to received CAN messages. The basic 3100T is
a passive communication device and simply waits to receive /
display CAN messages from vehicle controller (standard is Curtis
Model 1234, 1236 or 1238 motor controllers).
Optional buttons (2) are used to send CAN messages to the motor
controller. Each button sends a specic CAN message to the
controller. VCL (Vehicle Control Language) resident in the motor
controller can be used to dene a specic response to each button.
4. Trouble Shooting
For any deviation in operation described in Section 3.0, verify
proper voltage rating, check harness pin-out terminals, and
make sure the 4 pin AMP mating connector is fully seated.
