The WC-6X2 is a High Intensity AC Yoke, which induces a magnetic field into the 
ferrous material being tested.  The device should be used within the parameters set by 
the operational specifications within this guide. 

1. Solid State Push Button Switch – 

The Solid State Push Button

Switch was designed for comfort and safety.  While depressed, the switch delivers
power (AC) to the coil encapsulated in the Yoke housing.

 Output Module, where semiconductors are used to activate 

e magnetization field.

e must

t to twist or ‘pinch’ wires, on either the mounting bar or End Cap.

The Solid State Push Button Switch provides a ½ Watt control signal to the
electronic controls in the
th

itch on when plugging the Yoke into power. 

Do not hold the Push Button Sw

2. End Cap Rotation – 

The End Cap may be rotated to reposition the Cord

Protector (Strain Relief), for operator convenience, within the Bottom 120º  or Top
120º of the Junction tube.  Carefully remove the End Cap, followed by the internal
Cross Bar, and reposition the power wires.  Replace the cross bar, ensuring the
insulation disk (or tape) is in place and carefully reinstall the End Cap.  Car
