FEATURES:

  • 0 – 5k potentiometer output easily interfaces with motor controller
    throttle inputs and avoids the necessity of a dedicated power supply.
  • Dual return springs to ensure safe operation.
  • Return spring failure detection allows the vehicle designer to
    implement a “limp-home” mode to ensure that the vehicle can return
    to a safe location thereby eliminating stranding the vehicle (see
    wiring diagram on pg 4).
  • The foot pedal includes two microswitches to indicate idle validation
    and full throttle further ensuring safe vehicle operation.
  • Flexible design allows the foot pedal to mounted on the floor or
    suspended on the firewall, to locate the pedal on the right or left side
    of the unit and adjust the pedal to the desired angle.
  • The foot pedal is protected to IP67 and is rated for operation from
    –40° C to +85° C to ensure reliable and safe use in harsh environments.
  • Glass filled nylon housing and cast aluminum pedal ensure reliable
    operation in demanding applications.
  • The FP-10 is rated for 1 million cycle operation over its full
    specification thereby ensuring that it lasts for the life of the vehicle
    while minimizing operating costs.
    Curtis Model FP-10 foot pedals are designed to be a reliable, safe and easy-to-install
    throttle for industrial battery powered vehicles. Model FP-10 offers dual return
    springs with fault detection on those springs to allow throttle fault detection as well
    as the ability to imple
