Will a Curtis 1205M-5603 controller work?
I have just had a failure of my Alltrax NPX4844 series controller and can get a Curtis 1205M-5603 500A for a good price. I have looked up the manual from Curtis web page and they list 10 throttles that this controller can be programmed for,but none of them is for a 3 wire 5k - 0. They have a 2 wire 5k - 0. Can the 3 wire MCOR be used as a 2 wire ? Tks for any guidance

Re: Will a Curtis 1205M-5603 controller work?
That's good to know. I am curious why more people aren't using it. For $170 for a chinese clone and $250 for a real one, it seems more people would be inclined to use them over the $500 ones that are advertised everywhere.
I am new to the cart scene, but not electronics. So it's been interesting learning all the ins and outs and what's really what... I can't PM yet, cause I am still new or I would have hit you up there. Did it wire up normal? I know you had to select Type 9, but how did you get 5k-0 with Type 9 selected? Thanks for the info! |

Club Car does not make any carts with 5kΩ-0 2-wire rheostat type throttle setup.
What is referred to as a 5k-0 is indeed a "single-ended 3 wire potentiometer" or type 9 on that Controller. If You have an MCOR, type 9 is the best option. If your cart has a multi-step potentiometer (Vglide body), You can wire it as as type 0 (0-5k), type 1 (5k-0) or the best type 9 (single ended 3 wire). Keep in mind that you do need a special programmer to change those settings so it is best to get the Controller already programmed. |

Oh awesome information, thanks Sergio! I have a 2000.5 48v Club Car DS, with Series motor. I know it's a 5k-0, but from what I am reading is I should have a MCOR. The later 2000.5 seems to match a 2001 which there seems to be more information for.
Now I just need to decide on the motor. You can rent a Curtis Programmer for $40 a month. That should be enough time to mess with things, get them setup, and be good to go. |

Re: Will a Curtis 1205M-5603 controller work?
So I got my 1205-5603 installed. I have the 1311 programmer. Wired it in the same fashion as the stock controller. However in Type 9 I have 0% throttle in reverse but 100% throttle forward.
When I select Type 2 I get 60% throttle in reverse and 75% throttle forward. In Type 0 the throttle is reversed, so I have to push it all the way down and then slowly raise it to get movement, and reverse then is 100% only and activated at about 40-50% throttle input. Im stuck and willing to try any suggestions. 0 2-wire potentiometer, 0–5kΩ input 1 2-wire potentiometer, 5kΩ–0 input 2 single-ended 0–5V input 3 2-wire potentiometer, 4.6kΩ–0 input 4 2-wire potentiometer, 5.5kΩ–0 input 5 2-wire potentiometer, 1kΩ–0 input 6 ITS input 7 6.3–10.6 V input 8 6–12 V input 9 single-ended 3-wire potentiometer, 0–5kΩ input. |

Okay, I confused myself earlier with the MCOR talk. My cart is. 2000.5+ so it seems to be a ******* year for the Club Cars.
It appears I have one of these... https://m.buggiesunlimited.com/golf-...00-20015)/5731 |

If you are asking what that is, it is the Vglide referred to in post #6
(multi-step potentiometer) |
