WC-9UW on steel. Then slowly turn the Plunger down until the Yoke 
activates, then back of the plunger at least ½ turn.  The unit is now ready for 
inspection.

2.  Integral 13.2 Volt Battery Pack

  The 13.2 VDC Nickel Metal Hydride 

Battery Pack has been specially manufactured for the WC-9UW Yoke, and no 
attempt should be made to replace or operate this unit with one manufactured 
by others, as it will void it’s Class 1, Division II status, and could cause it to 
fail at pressure.   When operating the WC-9UW in a Hazardous Environment, 
the unit must be removed to a 

Safe Area

, for battery Testing or Charging.  A 

Safe Area is defined as an environment where no risk of explosion exists 
(e.g. Facility Offices). 

 

Battery Pack Assembly 

When installing the Battery Pack, after charging, cleaning, or maintenance, fit 
the Switching Module into the connector in the bottom of the Junction Tube.  
Ensure the Urethane Spring is positioned in the bottom of the Junction Tube, 
and line up the Connectors in the bottom of the Junction Tube and on the 
Switching Module.  Carefully slide the Battery Pack into the Junction Tube, 

feeling

 the mating connectors together.  Install the retaining fasteners, 

followed by the Plunger Assembly.  

 
 

 

 
 

Battery Testing 

The Battery is tested with the WC-9UW Battery Voltage Meter.  The meter is 
equipped with a load resistor, so a true measure of the Battery Voltage can 
be attained.  To test the Battery Voltage, insert the Battery Voltage Meter into 
the connector cast into the Battery Pack.  The Battery Meter provides a 
general reading of the Voltage, but also provides the operator with a general 
indication of the Battery Capacity or an indication of how much longer the unit
