Matrix generators can be fitted with various remote control
devices and accessories, including:
CD6/8 manual remote control
IMPORTANT: When using the machine for TIG welding it is
OBLIGATORY to use the kit for simultaneously using the PSR6
pedal and torch (code CEA n° 460056).
Weld current can be measured at a distance by connecting up
this control. The display will show the previous maximum weld
current value set on the welder. The remote control will adjust
welding current from the minimum to this value (see Special
functions "Changing the minimum and maximum limits of wel-
ding parameters" section). Just turn the adjustment knob on
the welder to change the maximum output value.
PSR6 foot switch
The foot switch replaces the torch button and the welding cur-
rent setting knob. The display will show the previous maximum
weld current value set on the welder. The pedal will adjust the
welding current from the minimum to this value (see Special
functions "Changing the minimum and maximum limits of wel-
ding parameters" section). Just turn the adjustment knob on
the welder to change the maximum output value.
NOTE: To use the pedal control correctly, set the "welding
mode" to 2-STROKE and then the welding parameters SLOPE
UP time to 0 sec., SLOPE DOWN time to 0 sec., INITIAL CUR-
RENT to 5A and FINAL CURRENT to 5A.
Air and/or water-cooled torch up/ down
The up/down torch replaces the current setting knob on the
front of the welder. Press right (+) and left (-) button to adjust
the active parameter. With this kind of torch, it is also possible
to scroll the saved programmes by pressing the two (+) and (-)
buttons.
Turn the knob to scroll the programmes until an empty and
unused programme is found.
NOTE: Programme sequences can be created by placing an
empty programme between saved ones.
NOTE: The value shown on the display during welding repre-
sents the effective current output with all types of control.
The digital control unit of the generator is fitted with a control
recognition device which allows it to identify which device is
connected and take action accordingly. To allow the command
recognition device to work correctly, connect (with the
machine switched off) the required accessory to the relative
connector and then switch on the welding machine with the
on/off switch.
NOTE: It is not possible to memorize or open programmes
when the remote controls are connected (except for the
torch with UP/DOWN commands).
If a remote control is connected (followed by self-acknowl-
edgement procedure) the machine will automatically return to
the manual-welding phase if it has been pre-set for automatic
welding.
The pointing out of any difficulties
and their elimination
The supply line is attributed with the cause of the most
common difficulties. In the case of breakdown, proceed as
follows:
1) Check the value of the supply voltage
2) Check that the power cable is perfectly connected to the
plug and the supply switch
3) Check that the power fuses are not burned out or loose
4) Check whether the following are defective:
• the switch that supplies the machine
• the plug socket in the wall
• the generator switch
NOTE: Given the required technical skills necessary for the
repair of the generator, in case of breakdown we advise you to
contact skilled personnel or our technical service department.
Procedure for cover assembly and
disassembly
Proceed as follows:
1) Unscrew the two screws fastening the handle.
2) Take off handle pulling it backwards.
3) Take off covering lid and unscrew the 3 screws fastening
the top.
4) Use both hands to push the top towards the front part free-
ing the back part.
