Remote Control - CEA MATRIX X220 AC/DC Operator's Manual

Remote control

Various remote controls can be connected via the connector on the front of the welding machine.
The welding machine's display will show a specific menu, requesting you to select which control has been connected.
The machine changes some welding parameters automatically, based on the type of remote control set.
For example, if the pedal is connected, the ramps are deactivated automatically.
Obviously there is an item in the menu that allows you to change the choice made.
See the manual for the control panel for further details.
MANUAL REMOTE CONTROL
WARNING: When using the machine for TIG welding it is OBLIGATORY to use the kit for si-
multaneously use – CEA code n° 460056.
When this control is activated, the welding current can be regulated remotely.
The display will show the welding current regulated using the manual remote control.
The remote control regulates the welding current between the minimum and maximum value set using the
encoder on the welding machine (for further information see the manual for the control panel).
To change the maximum supply value, rotate the regulating encoder on the welding machine.
FOOT SWITCH
This control replaces the button and the regulating knob for the welding current. When the pedal control is ac-
tivated, the welding current can be regulated remotely. The pedal will regulate the welding current between
the minimum and maximum value set using the encoder on the welding machine (for further information see
the manual for the control panel).
To change the maximum supply value, rotate the regulating encoder on the welding machine.
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.
• When only the pedal control is used, the torch button is activated by the microswitch inside the pedal, and the wel-
ding current will be regulated by the potentiometer inside the pedal.
• The simultaneous use kit, code CEA n° 460056, can be used to activate welding via the torch button and regulate
the welding current using the pedal.
TORCH WITH POTENTIOMETER
This torch includes a torch button and welding current regulating potentiometer.
When this torch is activated, the welding current can be regulated remotely.
The torch will regulate the welding current between the minimum and maximum value set using the enco-
der on the welding machine (for further information see the manual for the control panel).
To change the maximum supply value, rotate the regulating encoder on the welding machine.
AIR AND/OR WATER-COOLED TORCH UP/ DOWN
The up/down torch acts as 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 represents 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 devi-
ce 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-acknowledgement procedure) the machine will automatically return to the manual-wel-
ding phase if it has been pre-set for automatic welding.
