Removing the Endcap

TheendcapmustberemovedtollthebatterypackwiththeD-Cellbatteriesortoreplace

the depleted batteries. When replacing the batteries, ensure the outside of the battery pack

is completely dry before removing the endcap to reduce the risk of water droplets falling

inside the battery pack.

a) If the battery pack has a manual vent plug (shown below), loosen the vent with a

atheadscrewdriverbyatleastthreefullturns.Thiswillventthegasgeneratedby

Lithium-Ion batteries in use. If the battery pack has a Pressure Release Valve (PRV),

any required venting is done automatically and this step is not required.

b)FullyremovethefourradialM6atheadscrewswitha4mmhexkey.Ensurethese

screws are kept safe as they will be required to reinstall the endcap.

Figure 01: Manual vent plug circled on a JP2-B3 and JP9-B3

Figure 02: Radial screws circled on a battery pack to their show location

JPX Battery Pack User Guide 6

c)Usinga4mmhexkey,tightenthejackingscrewsintheendcaptoovercomethe

friction in the O-Ring seal.

NOTE:Alternatetighteningeachjackingscreweveryturn.Tighteningonejacking

screw too much more than the other will apply uneven loads to the sealing surface and

may damage the seal.

Figure 03: Jacking screws circled

WARNING: Soft point screws must be used to lift the endcap. Failure to do so can

generate wear particles that compromise the sealing interface.

JPX Battery Pack User Guide 7

d) Once one O-ring is visible, the endcap may be grasped by the handles and pulled

straight out of the can. The feet protrude slightly from under the can, and they may be

used as footholds to help separate the endcap from the can. If the endcap cannot be

removedeasily,tightenthejackingscrewsinordertoseparatetheendcapfromthe

canuntilthesecondO-Ringisvisible.Oncetheendcapisremoved,ipitupside-down

so the contact plate is facing up.

Figure 04: Battery pack showing feet

placement for end cap removal

NOTE: Once the endcap is removed, the sealing

surfaces are vulnerable to scratches and dents.

Be extremely careful when handling the separate

parts. Damage to the sealing surfaces or O-Rings

can compromise the seal and lead to water ingress

during use.

Installing New Batteries

a) Loosen the 3 thumb screws on contact plate A until it can be separated from the

assembly.

b) Carefully remove contact plate A from the assembly exposing the 12 battery columns.

Figure 06: Contact Plate A, showing closed (left) and opened (right)

c) Install batteries in the correct orientation as indicated by the sticker on the side of

contact plate A. All batteries are installed in the same orientation with 6 D-Cell batteries in

each column.

Important: Ensure the batteries are the correct type for your battery pack (alkaline/

lithium) and that the switch is in the correct position prior to installation.

Do not mix battery types (i.e., different manufacturers or different battery chemistries)

JPX Battery Pack User Guide 9

d)Installingbatteriescanbedonebytakingoutallthefoaminsertsandllingeach

individually. Or pushing the batteries down from the top, without taking out foam.

e) Once batteries have been inserted, replace the contact plate A.

f) Hand-tighten the thumb screws into place. This should be done with clean dry hands to

avoid potential minor shocks. Ensure the screws are secure as they complete an electrical

circuit.

Important: Ensure all batteries are installed in the same orientation. Failure to do so

can result in irreversible damage to the contact plate and battery pack.

Replacing the Endcap

Before replacing the endcap, ensure that both sealing surfaces are immaculately clean. A

single grain of sand is enough to scratch the sealing surface and compromise the O-ring

seal! (See Cleaning the Seal under Maintenance)

a)Backoutalljackingscrewsfromtheendcapsotheyarenolongerprotrudingbelow

the endcap as seen in Figure 9.

NOTE: We recommend replacing the O-rings after every deployment, however if the

O-rings are to be reused, ensure both O-rings are completely wetted with the supplied

O-Ring lubricant. See the O-ring replacement section for instructions on how to properly

replace the O-Rings.

TIP:Usengerstohand-loosenthejacking

screws if using the hex key is challenging.
