CURTIS INSTRUMENTS Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full CURTIS INSTRUMENTS product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Programmable DC Controllers (PMC Series)
Curtis PMC series provides field-programmable DC motor speed control with real-time feedback, CAN integration, and customizable ramp profiles. Common faults include controller lockup, potentiometer drift, and firmware version conflicts requiring recalibration.
Curtis 1206 / 1207 / 1210 Series
Industry-standard PWM DC controllers for material handling and mobile equipment. Handle 36V/48V systems with regenerative braking capability. Prone to IGBT gate-drive faults and accumulated thermal stress on solder joints in Indian heat conditions.
Curtis Battery Management Systems (BMS-24 / BMS-48)
Lithium and lead-acid battery management with integrated cell balancing, over-temperature shutdown, and SOC estimation. Repair needs include sensor calibration loss, relay sticking, and communication protocol errors with vehicle CAN systems.
Curtis 48/96 Volt Fork Lift / AGV Controllers
Heavy-duty 48V and 96V DC speed and directional controllers for electric forklifts, AGVs, and material handling vehicles. Frequent issues include contactor chattering, pot-box misalignment, and voltage divider circuit degradation from damp warehouse environments.
Curtis AC-to-DC Conversion & Rectifier Systems
Power supply rectification and stabilisation modules for industrial DC systems. Repair includes transformer winding faults, capacitor bank replacement, and thermal bridge re-soldering to restore full-load rating in continuous-duty applications.
Curtis IQ Onboard Charger (Mobile Equipment)
Intelligent charging systems for electric vehicles and mobile equipment with profile switching, temperature compensation, and grid harmonisation. Common failures include thermistor sensor drift, power-stage MOSFET burnout, and firmware-induced current limiting errors.

Common CURTIS INSTRUMENTS Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in CURTIS INSTRUMENTS equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Curtis Controller Loss of Throttle Response — Potentiometer (pot-box) contact wear or solder joint fracture on signal board. Curtis controllers require 0-5V analog input linearity; aged pots in high-vibration environments (forklifts, AGVs) create intermittent dead-zones or sudden acceleration glitches.
- ✓Curtis PMC Series Firmware Lockup and CAN-Bus Timeout — Corrupted firmware in programmable flash memory, often triggered by power-loss during CAN packet transmission or incompatible third-party vehicle protocols. PMC series controllers synchronise with AGV fleet software; version mismatches cause repeated watchdog timer resets.
- ✓IGBT Gate Drive Failure in 1206/1207 PWM Stage — High-temperature ambient conditions in Indian plants (40-45°C) accelerate gate-drive IC degradation. Curtis 1206 series uses NTC thermistor sensing; thermal runaway on MOSFETs leads to shoot-through and catastrophic IGBT failure.
- ✓Battery Management System (BMS) Cell Balancing Fault — Lithium cell voltage imbalance exceeding 0.2V between modules; Curtis BMS relies on shunt resistor tuning and isolated gate drivers. Thermal stress, charge-cycle ageing, and cell-level resistance mismatch force BMS into protective shutdown.
- ✓Curtis Controller Thermal Shutdown in Continuous Duty — Solder reflow cracks around power stage, thermal interface compound dry-out, and inadequate heatsinking. In Indian foundries and recycling plants, ambient dust clogs cooling fins; Curtis controllers derate at >50°C and trigger full shutdown at 60°C.
- ✓Curtis Onboard Charger Constant-Current Mode Failure — Current-sense shunt resistor thermal drift or current-feedback op-amp offset error. Curtis IQ chargers require <2% current-sense accuracy; Indian vehicle duty cycles with rapid charge/discharge cycles stress feedback loops, leading to under-charging (SOC stuck at 80%) or over-current shutdown.

Synchronics maintains Curtis spare parts inventory — IGBT modules, potentiometers, capacitors, and gate-drive ICs — to minimise waiting time and vehicle downtime for your fleet.
Can Synchronics reprogram Curtis PMC controllers with custom vehicle protocols?+
Yes. Synchronics holds Curtis firmware programming tools and diagnostic interfaces. We reprogram PMC-024, PMC-048, and PMC-600 series controllers with custom CAN-bus profiles, velocity ramps, and third-party fleet management integration. We validate reprogrammed controllers against your AGV or electric vehicle system architecture before dispatch.
Do you repair Curtis Instruments battery chargers and BMS units?+
Yes, we repair the complete Curtis charging ecosystem — IQ Onboard chargers, BMS-24/BMS-48 units, and external rectifier power supplies. Common repairs include current-sense calibration, cell-balancing shunt replacement, and thermal-management circuit recovery. We test all repaired charging units under full-load bench conditions before return.
What warranty do you offer on Curtis controller and BMS repairs?+

What is the cost of repairing a CURTIS INSTRUMENTS drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on CURTIS INSTRUMENTS repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your CURTIS INSTRUMENTS unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
