Introduction
Thank you for purchasing one of our products. Please read instruc-
tions on use in this manual as well as the safety rules given in
the attached booklet and follow them carefully to get the best
performance from the equipment and be sure that the parts have
the longest service life possible. In the interest of customers, you
are recommended to have maintenance and, where necessary,
repairs carried out by the workshops of our service organisation,
since they have suitable equipment and specially trained person-
nel available. All our machinery and systems are subject to con-
tinual development. We must therefore reserve the right to modify
their construction and properties.
Description
7
7
Powerful, compact, and light-weight - thanks to the innovative
digital welding control the MATRIX 2200 E units are the highest
8
performance and most technically advanced electrode welding
generators you can find.
8
Thanks to the PFC (Power Factor Correction) device that gives
the wave for the absorbed current a sinusoidal shape, and so does
8
away with harmonic disturbance in the network and optimises the
8
absorption of energy from the mains, the MATRIX 2200 E can
be connected to the mains power supply with a 16 A fuse, which
8
makes them the ideal solution for all approved welding applica-
tions, as well as maintenance work that requires power and port-
8
ability. Made using the latest inverter technology based on IGBT,
thanks to the digital welding control the MATRIX 2200 E machines
9
ensure absolute stability of welding parameters and guarantee
9
quality welds with all types of electrodes, including cellulose, as
well as TIG with "Lift" ignition.

FEATURES
10
• Innovative and compact design.
• Compact size and light weight for easy transportation (also with
10
strap).
• Metallic main structure with shock-proof plastic front panel.
• Protective visor on the control panel.
11
• Robust handle integrated into the chassis.
11
• Slanting front panel with wide range of visibility from all angles
to facilitate reading and adjusting parameters.
62
• Digital ammeters and voltmeters are standard fittings, with pre-
setting of welding current and saving of the latest value.
63
• Digital control of all welding parameters.
• Possibility of saving the welding parameters (99 automatic weld-
63
ing points - JOBS).
• Self-diagnosis device.
66
• Exceptional welding characteristics for all types of electrode, in-
67-69
cluding cellulosic.
• MMA welding:
70
- "Arc Force" adjustable to select the best dynamic character-
istics for the welding arc.
- "Hot Start" adjustable to improve ignition with particularly dif-
ficult electrodes.
- Anti-sticking function to avoid the electrodes sticking.
• TIG welding:
- TIG welding with thermal controlled (TCS) "Lift" type striking
reducing tungsten inclusions to a minimum and allowing to
also strike on sharp edges.
- Exclusive SWS "Smart Welding Stop" system to finish TIG
welding. Lifting up the torch without turning off the arc will
achieve a slope down and it automatically switches off.
• Overheating thermostatic protection.
• Automatic compensation for mains voltage fluctuations within
±20%.
• Safety barrier against excess voltage from mains.
• Possibility of activating a VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) that
makes it possible to use the machine in environments in which
the risk of electric shock or electrocution caused by arc weld-
ing is much higher due to the presence of water, damp, or heat,
particularly where the ambient temperature is higher than 32°C.
• "Energy Saving" function that starts ventilation of the generator
only when necessary.
• IP 23 S protection class and dust-proof electronic components,
thanks to the innovative "Tunnel" fan cooling system, allow op-
eration in the toughest work environments.
• Connectable with a high degree of reliability to motor powered
generators of adequate power (9 kVA), thanks also to the PFC
circuit that guarantees greater protection of the welding machine
against fluctuations in the power supply voltage.
• Useable with power supply cables more than 100 m long.
• Low absorbed current consumption.
• This generator also conforms to all the standards and directives
in force in the European Community.
