MAINTENANCE
There are no user serviceable parts in the Curtis PMC 1223/33, 1225/35, and
1227/37 controllers. No attempt should be made to open, repair, or otherwise
modify the controller. Doing so may damage the controller and will void the
warranty. However, it is recommended that the controller be kept clean and dry
that its diagnostics history file be checked and cleared periodically.
CLEANING
1223/33 Controllers
The 1223/33 controllers do not have covers. Because there are exposed compo-

should be shielded from dirt and contaminants.
1225/35 and 1227/37 Controllers
The 1225/35 and 1227/37 controllers are covered units. It is recommended that
the controller exterior be cleaned periodically (see procedure below).
When working around any battery powered vehicle, proper safety precau-
tions should be taken. These include, but are not limited to: proper training,
wearing eye protection, and avoiding loose clothing and jewelry.
Use the following cleaning procedure for routine maintenance.
1. Remove power by disconnecting the battery.
2. Discharge the capacitors in the controller by connecting a load (such as
a contactor coil or a horn) across the controller’s B+ and B- terminals.
3. Remove any dirt or corrosion from the connector area. The controller
should be wiped clean with a moist rag. Dry it before reconnecting the
battery.
4. Make sure the connections are tight.
