steady. Initiation of the reaction occurs 1 second after
the READY light is on steady. Maintain constant
pressure on the OPERATE switch until the ERICO CADWELD

seconds, the Control Unit circuit automatically times
out and will not operate until the batteries are replaced.
Fully charged batteries should provide approximately
400 operations.
7.
Disconnect Lead. Allow 30 seconds for the
completion of the reaction and the solidification of the
molten metal. Remove used Control Unit Ignitor Strip
