PULSE HEAT

At the lower left of the control panel you will find the PULSE HEAT section of the PRC 2000. The two AC

jacks are for connecting the Universal Power Cord to the PRC 2000 system. The cord will accept several

quick connect/disconnect handpieces including the LapFlo, ResisTweez, ConducTweez (optional) and

StripTweez (optional) which can be changed within 2 seconds. Pulse Heat handpieces with non-

solderable, rapid heat up/cool down tips offer unique advantages in many SMT rework, conformal coating

removal, soldering and auxiliary heating applications. With many Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) it is not

only important to achieve the solder reflow temperature, but to control the way in which you arrive at that

temperature. Many of the newer SMDs are very sensitive to thermal shock and overheating. The intrinsic

slow temperature ramp-up (rise time) of the Pulse Heat handpieces provide an extra measure of safety for

such components. Always consult your organization's specifications or the component manufacturer's

guidelines. Some very sensitive components may require controlled preheating (e.g., with the PACE

HotSpot temperature controlled heating surface).
