The HotSpot PLUS is powered from the AC line through an isolation transformer and stored energy level circuitry. Front panel indicators and controls allow the operator to easily monitor the status of the unit, determine the level of energy to be transferred to the storage capacitors, and initiate a weld cycle. LEDs indicate charging and energy storage status. The power level is set by the position of the front panel control knob. The power ranges, high or low, are selected by a two position toggle switch. These controls set the voltage to which the energy storage capacitors are charged. The maximum power output of the HotSpotPLUS is approximately 500 Joules. Increasing the setting of the control knob will cause the capacitor to be charged to a higher level. However, decreasing the setting will not immediately reduce the value already stored, so a welding cycle will always release an energy pulse equal to the highest power setting since the last recent discharge. Initiation of the welding discharge is controlled by a front panel snap action push button switch, a similar companion switch on the hand tool accessory holder, or an optional foot switch. A resettable circuit breaker in the primary AC line is accessible on the unit's back panel and protects against damage from internal circuit shorts and similar fault conditions. |

The HotSpot PLUS offers the latest electronic design in DCC's HotSpot Capacitive Discharge welder family. Several convenience, reliability, and safety improvements were incorporated. The power ratings of critical components have been significantly increased, welding initiation control was added to the handheld tool holder, multiple operations are faster, and no stored energy is released until the welding elements are in contact. The HotSpot PLUS doubles the power range of the HotSpot series and offers several fixturing and welding attachments to facilitate simple spot welding, stud welding, and pin welding modes. In addition, the HotSpot PLUS provides standard and heavy wire thermocouple welding functions. The HotSpot PLUS is designed to handle the attachment of heavy wires, light gauge studs and weldable pins to metal surfaces. It can also close larger tubes than the HotSpot II unit and aid in wire harness strap spot welding and insulation blanket installation. Its controllable weld energy capability matches the needs of strain gauge attachment applications. The HotSpot PLUS is light and portable so you can move it right to where you need to make welds, fixture hardware, and attach thermocouples. The actual welding time is a fraction of a second and the short recycle interval, even at full power, will allow you to make 6 or more welds a minute, even quicker for ordinary gauge thermocouples. The HotSpot PLUS provides the choice of a firing button on the handheld tool. The front panel also includes a firing button along with simple on/off and energy level adjustments. The HotSpot PLUS operates only from AC power. A battery-powered version of the unit is not offered but it can be driven by a low power battery to AC converter. It weighs only 18 lbs., and its compact design makes it a very portable package. |
