(*) IMPORTANT:
• This equipment meets the requirements laid down in the EN/IEC
61000-3-12 standard on harmonic currents.
• This system, tested according to EN/IEC 61000-3-3, meets the re-
quirements of EN/IEC 61000-3-11.
Usage limits (IEC 60974-1)
The use of a welder is typically discontinuous, in that it is made up
of effective work periods (welding) and rest periods (for the posi-
tioning of parts, the replacement of wire and underflushing opera-
tions etc. This welder is dimensioned to supply a I
current in complete safety for a period of work of 30% of the to-
tal usage time. The regulations in force establish the total usage
time to be 10 minutes. The work cycle is considered to be 30% of
this period of time. If the permitted work cycle time is exceeded,
an overheat cut-off occurs to protect the components around the
welder from dangerous overheating. Activation of thermal protec-
tion is signaled by "t° C" flashing on control panel display (for fur-
ther information see the paragraph in the manual for the MX control
panel). After several minutes the overheat cut-off rearms automat-
ically and the welder is ready for use again.
How to lift up the machine
The weld machine has a strong handle all in one with the frame,
used for transporting the machine manually only.
NOTE: These hoisting and transportation devices conform to Eu-
ropean standards. Do not use other hoisting and transportation
systems.
Open the packaging
The system essentially consists of:
• MATRIX 2200 E weld unit.
• Welding cables or RTA TIG torch (optional).
• Neck strap CB 2 (optional).
Upon receiving the system:
• Remove the welding generator and all relevant accessories-
components from their packaging.
• Check that the weld machine is in good condition, if not report
any problems immediately to the seller-distributor.

• Make sure all ventilation grilles are open and that no foreign bod-
ies are blocking the air circulation.
Installation
The installation site for the system must be carefully chosen in or-
der to ensure its satisfactory and safe use. The user is responsi-
ble for the installation and use of the system in accordance with
the producer's instructions contained in this manual. Before install-
ing the system the user must take into consideration the potential
electromagnetic problems in the work area. In particular, we sug-
gest that you should avoid installing the system close to:
• Signalling, control and telephone cables.
• Radio and television transmitters and receivers.
• Computers and control and measurement instruments.
• Security and protection instruments.
Persons fitted with pace-makers, hearing aids and similar equip-
ment must consult their doctor before going near a machine in op-
eration. The environment in which the equipment is installed must
be suitable for the casing's protection level. This system is cooled
by means of the forced circulation of air, and must therefore be
placed in such a way that the air may be easily sucked in and ex-
pelled through the apertures made in the frame.
The welding unit is characterised by the following levels:
• Protection level IP 23 S indicates that the equipment can be used
both indoors and outdoors.
• Use class "S" means that the equipment can be used in condi-
tions subject to heightened electrical shock.
Connection to the electrical supply
Connection of the machine to the user line (electrical current)
must be performed by qualified personnel.
Before connecting the welder to the electrical supply, check
that the machine's plate rating corresponds to the supply volt-
age and frequency and that the line switch of the welder is in
the "O" position.
Use the welder's own plug to connect it up to the main power sup-
ply. Proceed as follows if you have to replace the plug:
• 2 conducting wires are needed for connecting the machine to
the supply.
• The third, which is YELLOW GREEN in colour is used for mak-
ing the "GROUND" connection.
MATRIX 2200 E works with circuit breaker or fusible power switch-
es.
Table 2 shows the capacity values that are recommended for fus-
es in the line with delays.
