BT/Toyota Curtis 1243C

I have recently bought a Toyota electric pallet truck which uses a 200am Curtis 1243 can controller.

The intention is to use this as a test rig for the various 1243 can controllers I repair from my customers BT range of LPE200 style trucks they have.

I tried a controller on it and it has come up with error E101, which I am told is related to incompatibility. I have been told that if thats the case the card in the tiller handle needs to be programmed to work with that controller. Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

You need BT Truck Com connected to the truck.

Unless the head card was supplied blank from BT you CANNOT change the software package to a different truck type, you can only update the package version

I've still not worked out how to unlock a locked card yet.

Blank cards let you repeatedly change the software package.

You got the truck serial number?

Thanks for the info everyone.

I did not think the throttle issue would cause this error as then it would have thrown up a throttle error I think.

Is there anyway of programming the card in the tiller to accept the new curtis controller when fitted through the curtis handset or dash?

Regards

I have the manuals, thank you.

There are 2 different versions of the LPE 200 software in the tiller head.

1 software version for 6 kph trucks & another version for the 8 kph trucks.

Also the Toyota & Cesab versions of the BT LPE 200 also use different software package numbers again, Why BT just doesnt use the same software package for the same spec machine no matter which brand stickers are on it is anyones guess.

Newer spec's of BT machines seem to be more universal on the Curtis box spec.

I've got 3 completely different types of BT machines that I look after for one customer & they all use the same BT part number for the Curtis box / its interchangable beween machine type.

there is a setting in the curtis interface program PC Programmer "throttle type", this is what is setting off the code. it has to be set to the correct number for that type of throttle.

Yes, it's possible.

E101= Incorrect travel regulator or electronic card has been installed. The truck has a built-in control function that checks to ensure the wrong combination
of travel regulator and electronic card has not been installed.

Do you need manual?

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
