Description
Powerful, compact, and light-weight - thanks to the innovative digital welding control the MATRIX 420-4200 units are the
highest performance and most technically advanced electrode
welding generators you can find.
Built according to the very latest IGBT based inverter technology, these DC power sources thanks to their excellent arc
characteristics, are recommended for highest standard applications with any electrode.
MATRIX 420-4200 units guarantee absolute stability of welding
parameters and thanks to their “characteristic dynamic speed”
they are ideal for quality welding particularly difficult jobs using
basic and cellulosic electrodes. The MATRIX 420-4200 units
can also be used for TIG welding with a “Lift” type ignition.
FEATURES
• Innovative and compact design.
• Reduced weight and size, easy-to-carry.
• Metallic main structure with shock-proof plastic front panel.
• Controls protected against accidental blows.
• Robust handle integrated into the chassis.
Slanting front panel with wide range of visibility from all an-
•
gles to facilitate reading and adjusting parameters.
Digital ammeters and voltmeters are standard fittings, with
•
pre-setting of welding current and saving of the latest value
(Hold function).
• Digital control of all welding parameters.
Possibility of saving the welding parameters (99 automatic
•
welding points - JOBS).
• Self-diagnosis device.
Exceptional welding characteristics for all types of electrode,
•
including cellulosic.
• MMA welding:
- “Arc Force” adjustable to select the best dynamic characteristics for the welding arc.
“Hot Start” adjustable to improve ignition with particularly
difficult electrodes.
- Anti-sticking function to avoid the electrodes sticking.
• TIG welding:
- TIG welding using the innovative “Lift” type thermally controlled ignition (TCS). Ignition comes about precisely and
quickly, reducing the inclusions of tungsten to a minimum
and doing away with incisions into the workpiece to be
welded.
A synergic SWS (Smart welding stop) system that reduces
electrode consumption and avoids oxidation of the welded joint.
• Overheating thermostatic protection.
Automatic compensation for mains voltage fluctuations with-
•
in +15% -20%.
• Safety barrier against excess voltage from mains.
The VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) can be activated, which
•
reduces voltages to below 12 V, which means that the weld8
ing machine can be used in ambient conditions in which there
is a high electrical risk, thereby providing maximum operator safety.
An “Energy Saving” function that only activates ventilation
•
of the generator when necessary, making significant energy
saving possible and reducing maintenance, due to the small
quantity of dust and pollutants that are taken in.
IP 23 S protection class and dust-proof electronic compo-
•
nents, thanks to the innovative “Tunnel” fan cooling system,
allow operation in the toughest work environments.
Can be connected to motor-powered generators of adequate
•
capacity providing high dependability - 30 kVA (MATRIX 4204200 E-MG).
• Useable with power supply cables more than 100 m long.
• Reduced energy consumption.

Open the packaging
The system essentially consists of:
• MATRIX 420-4200 E or E-MG weld unit.
• Welding cables or RTA TIG torch (optional).
• Trolley for transportation (optional).
• Protective roll bar (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
bodies are blocking the air circulation.
Installation
The installation site for the system must be carefully chosen
in order to ensure its satisfactory and safe use. The user is responsible for the installation and use of the system in accordance with the producer’s instructions contained in this manual.
Before installing the system the user must take into consideration the potential electromagnetic problems in the work area.
In particular, we suggest 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
equipment must consult their doctor before going near a machine in operation. 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 expelled 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 con
•
ditions subject to heightened electrical shock.
-
The use of a welder is typically discontinuous, in that it is made
up of effective work periods (welding) and rest periods (for the
positioning of parts, the replacement of wire and underflush
ing operations etc. This welder is dimensioned to supply a I2
max nominal current in complete safety for a period of work of
40% of the total usage time. The regulations in force establish
the total usage time to be 10 minutes. The work cycle is considered to be 40% 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 protection is signaled by “t° C” flashing on control panel display (for further information see the MX
control panel manual). After several minutes the overheat cutoff rearms automatically and the welder is ready for use again.
How to lift up the machine
Strap the hoisting belts around the machine and lift it up carefully and safely, slinging it from the bottom up.
The weld machine has a strong handle all in one with the frame,
used for transporting the machine manually only.
Connection to the electrical supply
-
Connection of the machine to the user line (electrical current) must be performed by qualified personnel.
Before connecting the welding machine to the mains power supply, make sure that rated voltage and frequency correspond to those provided by the mains power supply and
that the welding machine’s power switch is turned to “O”.
Use the welder’s own plug to connect it up to the main power supply. Proceed as follows if you have to replace the plug:
3 conducting wires are needed for connecting the machine
•
to the supply
The fourth, which is YELLOW GREEN in colour is used for
•
making the “GROUND” connection.
Connect a suitable load of normalised plug (3p+t) to the
power cable and provide for an electrical socket complete
with fuses or an automatic switch. The ground terminal
must be connected to the ground conducting wire (YELLOW-GREEN) of the supply.

Electrode welding (MMA)
Electrode welding is used for welding most metals (various
types of steels, etc.) using rutilic, basic, and cellulosic elec
trodes with diameters from 1.6 mm to 6.0 mm.
1) Connecting the welding cables (Fig. B):
Disconnect the machine from the mains power supply and
connect the welding cables to the output terminals (Positive
and Negative) of the welding machine, attaching them to
the clamp and ground with the polarity specified for the type
of electrode being used (Fig.B). Always follow the electrode
manufacturer’s instructions. The welding cables must be
as short as possible, they must be near to one another, positioned at or near floor level. Do not touch the electrode
clamp and the ground clamp simultaneously.
2) Switch the welding machine on by moving the power sup-
ply switch to I (Pos. 5, Fig. A).
3) Make the adjustments and select the parameters on the
control panel (for further information see the MX control
panel manual).
4) Carry out welding by moving the torch to the workpiece.
Strike the arc (press the electrode quickly against the metal and then lift it) to melt the electrode, the coating of which
forms a protective residue. Then continue welding by moving the electrode from left to right, inclining it by about 60°
compared with the metal in relation to the direction of welding.
PART TO BE WELDED
The part to be welded must always be connected to ground
in order to reduce electromagnetic emission. Much attention
must be afforded so that the ground connection of the part to
be welded does not increase the risk of accident to the user or
the risk of damage to other electric equipment. When it is necessary to connect the part to be welded to ground, you should
make a direct connection between the part and the ground
shaft. In those countries in which such a connection is not allowed, connect the part to be welded to ground using suitable
capacitors, in compliance with the national regulations.

WELDING PARAMETERS
Table 3 shows some general indications for the choice of electrode, based on the thickness of the parts to be welded. The
values of current to use are shown in the table with the respective electrodes for the welding of common steels and low-grade
alloys. These data have no absolute value and are indicative
data only. For a precise choice follow the instructions provided
by the electrode manufacturer.
The current to be used depends on the welding positions and
the type of joint, and it increases according to the thickness and
dimensions of the part.
The current intensity to be used for the different types of welding, within the field of regulation shown in table 4 is:
• High for plane, frontal plane and vertical upwards welding.
• Medium for overhead welding.
Low for vertical downwards welding and for joining small pre-
•
heated pieces.
A fairly approximate indication of the average current to use in
the welding of electrodes for ordinary steel is given by the following formula:
I = 50 × (Øe - 1)
Where:
I = intensity of the welding current
Øe = electrode diameter
Example:
For electrode diameter 4 mm
I = 50 × (4 - 1) = 50 × 3 = 150A
TIG welding
TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, using an arc
struck by a tungsten electrode. The fusion bath and the electrode are protected by gas (Argon). This type of welding is used
to weld thin sheet metal or when elevated quality is required.
1) Connecting the welding cables (Fig. C):
Connect one end of the gas hose to the gas connecter
•
on the TIG torch and the other end to the Argon cylinder and open it.
• With the machine switched off:
Connect the ground cable to the snap-on connector
marked + (positive).
Connect the relative ground clamp to the workpiece or
to the workpiece support in an area free of rust, paint,
grease, etc..
Connect the TIG torch power cable to the snap-on con
nector marked - (negative).
2) Switch the welding machine on by moving the power sup-
ply switch to I (Pos. 5, Fig. A).
3) Make the adjustments and select the parameters on the
control panel (for further information see the MX control
panel manual).
4) Open the gas cylinder and regulate the flow by adjusting
the valve on the TIG torch by hand.
5) Ignite the electric arc by contact, using a decisive, quick
movement at the welding current set (“Lift” type ignition Fig. D).
To end welding:
Lift the torch slowly, at a certain point the welding current
•
decreases, and then stop.
The welding machine follows an automatic down slope
•
along with extinguishing of the arc.
6) When you have finished welding remember to shut the
valve on the torch and the gas cylinder.

As these systems are completely static, proceed as follow:
Periodic removal of accumulated dirt and dust from the inside
•
of the generator, using compressed air. Do not aim the air
jet directly onto the electrical components, in order to avoid
damaging them.
• Make periodical inspections in order to individuate worn cables or loose connections that are the cause of overheating.
Optional
• CD 6 manual remote control.
When this accessory is activated the welding current can only
be remote controlled (value adjustable from 5 to 420A), and
this value will be shown on the welding machine’s display.
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.
The remote control can be connected whether the welding
machine is on or off.
NOTE: The MX control panel has a STAND-BY function that,
when the remote control is on, switches off the inverter when
the minimum welding current value is reached (to reinstate
normal, correct functioning of the machine, increase the welding current value by rotating the remote control knob).
• External mechanical polarity inverter.
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.

DISPLAY
2000HA82
■ DISPLAY INDICATION LED
1) When this LED is on it means that the
DISPLAY is showing the CURRENT value (the value displayed depends on and
can be regulated on the basis of the type
of process or function selected).
2) When this LED is on it means that the
DISPLAY is showing the VOLTAGE value
(the value displayed cannot be changed
or regulated, but merely indicates the actual VOLTS on the quick connections for
the welding machine’s positive and negative poles).
■ WELDING PROCESS SELECTION LED
When one of these LEDs is on it means that the corresponding welding process has been selected.
■ VRD LED
The Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) is a safety device that
reduces the voltage.
It prevents voltages forming on the output terminals that may
pose a danger to people.
Two-tone LED (off - red - green) indicates enabling of the VRD
device.
The standard, preset settings for the CEA do not activate the
VRD function on the welding machine and so this LED is normally off (to activate the VRD device see the relevant paragraph).
HOT START and ARC
FORCE SELECTION LED
■ HOT START and ARC FORCE SELECTION LED
These two LEDs can only be on when welding in MMA.
1) When this LED is on it means that the
operator can use the ENCODER Knob
to regulate the value shown on the DISPLAY for the HOT START function.
2) When this LED is on it means that the
operator can use the ENCODER Knob
to regulate the value shown on the DISPLAY for the ARC FORCE function.

Switching on the welding
machine and initial screen
1) Start the welding machine by pushing the switch on the
rear panel to position I.
2) The welding machine carries out a short MACHINE CHECK
(all the LEDs switch on and off, one at a time, following a
preset, established start-up procedure. Then the display
shows the following message “---”).
3) Next the control panel display’s the INITIAL SCREEN for
the machine, which is then ready to weld, and the DISPLAY
shows the last numerical value set (example: 80) for the
CURRENT. Remember that since the welding machine is
in stand-by mode this value (in Amps) is not real but is the
setting.
2000HA87
Displaying the software
version installed
1) When the welding machine is running, hold the WELDING
PROCESS SELECTION key (T1) and FUNCTION SELECTION key (T2) down simultaneously, for at least 3 seconds.
• C00-02.06 indicates the version of WELDING CURVES
installed.
MMA welding (Electrode)
1) Start the welding machine by pushing the switch on the
rear panel to position I.
2) Push the WELDING PROCESS SELECTION key to select one of the 3 electrode
welding processes according to the elec
trode material you are using:
• ELECTRODE
For welding with coated electrodes: Rutile,
basic, cast iron, and aluminium.
• Cellulose ELECTRODE
For welding with cellulose electrodes.
NOTE: Only valid for the MATRIX 2700 E - 2700 E SV welding
machines. In order to optimise fusion and the stability of the cellulose electrode weld, the welding machine automatically activates a booster in this position only, which provides the welding
machine with further power. This booster works at a MAX current of up to 130 A. We therefore recommend using cellulose
electrodes for welding with currents up to 130 A. Once this value is exceeded the booster is deactivated automatically, and so
instability and interruptions in the arc may occur.
• Stainless steel ELECTRODE
For welding stainless steel. Thanks to the
special dynamic characteristic it is possible
to weld with a soft, extremely stable arc in
order to achieve high quality welds.

2) The DISPLAY continuously runs the message shown in Figure A, indicating the SOFTWARE VERSION INSTALLED
on the welding machine, until the two-key combination is
pushed again. In detail, the meaning is as follows:
H04-04.02 indicates the version of HARDWARE in-
•
stalled.
F04-01.00 indicates the version of FIRMWARE installed.

4) To improve the quality of the welding the following accessory functions are available that relate to the MMA welding process selected:
HOT START - This increases the welding current, in per-
•
centage terms, for a time interval that can be set at the
start of the welding process, thereby reducing the risk of
poor fusion at the start of the joint (HOT START - 0-100
- regulation step: 1).
ARC FORCE MMA - Regulates, in percentage terms, the
•
dynamic characteristics of the arc (ARC FORCE - 0-100
- regulation step: 1).
WARNING: Both the values for the accessory functions are
pre-set at a value of 50, which is the value deemed best for
welding.
To select these two accessory functions, simply press the
FUNCTION SELECTION key (T2) and regulate the value using the ENCODER Knob (E).

4) Once the all the selections/regulations indicated above
have been made, welding can begin.
Creating and memorising
automatic welding points
Once you have defined the parameters that characterise a new
automatic welding point (abbreviated as JOB), it can be stored
in the memory in the following manner:
1) Hold down the WELDING PROCESS SELECTION Key for
at least 5 seconds, until the DISPLAY (D) shows a flashing
message that represents the first AUTOMATIC WELDING
POINT (JOB) free and/or available, in which the data can
be saved (example: F08).
5) Once the all the selections/regulations indicated above
have been made, welding can begin.
TIG welding
1) Start the welding machine by pushing the switch on the
rear panel to position I.
2) Press the WELDING PROCESS SELECTION Key and select the following process:
• TIG with “Lift” type ignition
With TIG welding using the innovative “Lift”
type thermally controlled ignition TCS), ignition come about precisely and quickly, reducing the inclusions of tungsten to
a minimum and doing away with incisions
into the workpiece to be welded. The SWS
(Smart Welding Stop) system avoids oxidation of the welded joint.
D
T1
2000HA90
In order to choose another free JOB simply rotate the EN-
CODER knob and see the other JOBS available. The MX
control panel allows you to save a maximum of 99 AUTOMATIC WELDING POINTS (JOBS).
5
2) To SAVE the JOB simply push the WELDING PROCESS
SELECTION Key (T1) again until the DISPLAY reads
“StO” for about 1 second, which confirms that the JOB
has been saved and then the automatic point chosen (for
example: A08).
T1
2000HA90
Once the saving operation has been completed the control
panel automatically goes to the last JOB saved.
If the user wants to weld in this way they do not need to
adjust any parameter, but if they wish they can view them
by pressing the relevant keys.
NOTE: Creating a JOB implies saving all the special functions
associated with it.
3) To exit the JOB, hold the DISPLAY
SELECTION key down for at least 5
seconds. The welding machine will au
tomatically load the values for the JOB
from which it comes.
Recalling automatic welding points
To recall a JOB saved previously:
1) Enter JOB mode by holding the DISPLAY SELECTION key
(T3) down for at least 5 seconds.
2) Rotate the ENCODER knob (E) until you find the JOB required.
T3
E
2000HA90
Activating the VRD device
To activate the VRD device, which must be done when the
welding machine is switched off:
1) Use a suitable screwdriver to unscrew the 4 screws that fix
the MX control panel to the welding machine.
2) Remove the “VRD” JUMPER on the DIGITAL INTERFACE
BOARD (Fig. B).
3) Use a suitable screwdriver to tighten the 4 screws that fix
the MX control panel to the welding machine.
4) Start the welding machine by pushing the switch on the
rear panel to position I.
When the MX control panel switches on the VRD LED will
come on and will be GREEN, which means that the VRD function is on.
To “deactivate” the VRD device and therefore start to weld, follow this simple procedure: First touch the workpiece with the
electrode, then detach it and ignite the arc within a MAX of 0,3
seconds, otherwise if this time is exceeded the VRD device
starts and prevents welding.
FIG. B
2000HA92

During welding the VRD LED turns RED, which does not indicate any malfunction on the welding machine, but that the VRD
device has been deactivated to allow welding.
Accessory functions
4) Hold the SELECT FUNCTION (T2) key down to confirm
the choice made previously.
“Energy saving”
This function manages correct functioning of the cooling fan
that only runs when strictly necessary, to guarantee lower energy consumption, that is:
During welding or for an adequate period of time after this
•
is finished.
When the thermostat intervenes or for an adequate period
•
of time after it has just been reset.
Hold
During welding the operator can decide whether to display the
VOLTAGE and CURRENT values on the DISPLAY by simply
pressing the DISPLAY SELECTION Key.
When welding ends for about 15 seconds the DISPLAY memorises the last parameter values (VOLTAGE and CURRENT)
selected / regulated (HOLD FUNCTION).
These values can be seen by simply pressing the DISPLAY
SELECTION Key.
To interrupt the display before the 15 seconds are up, simply
rotate the ENCODER Knob.
Aut - rEm - LoC
Matrix generators can be fitted with a manual remote control
that allows the welding current to be remote controlled (value
adjustable according to the model of the MX control panel you
are using). When this is on, the welding machine’s DISPLAY
will show the current value set previously using the same remote control.
The MX control panel allows the operator to choose between
3 different parameter adjustment modes, by means of this simple procedure:
1) Switch off the welding machine by turning the main switch
to position 0.
2) Hold down the SELECT FUNCTION (T2) key and simulta-
neously switch in the welding machine by turning the main
switch to position I.
3) Now, when the ENCODER knob (E) is rotated the DISPLAY
(D) will provide the following indications and the operator
can choose between:
Aut - Automatic recognition of the manual remote control
•
connected up (DEFAULT setting) and therefore allowing
the current to be adjusted.
• rEm - Automatic recognition of the manual remote control connected up and therefore allowing the current to
be adjusted.
PLEASE NOTE: The welding machine does not work if
the remote control is not connected to it!
LoC - The welding current may only be adjusted from the
•
welding machine’s control panel.
WARNING: The remote control does not work, even if
connected up correctly!
D
E
T2
NOTE: The MX control panel has a STAND-BY function that,
when the remote control is on, switches off the inverter when
the minimum welding current value is reached (to reinstate normal, correct functioning of the machine, increase the welding
current value by rotating the remote control knob).
Factory default
WARNING: This operation results in complete resetting of all
parameters to the factory settings (FAC).
To reset the settings hold the FUNCTION SELECTION Key
(T2) down for at least 5 seconds, until the DISPLAY reads FAC.
T2
2000HA90
At this point the welding machine carries out a short MACHINE
CHECK (all the LEDs switch on and off, one at a time, following a preset, established start-up procedure). The reset procedure has now been completed successfully.

Error and protection conditions
D
The equipment is protected against problems and if any arise
the DISPLAY shows fixed or flashing (error code) messages
(depending on the type of error) that serve to inform the operator that a fault has occurred in the equipment (see table 1).
The table provides a summary of all the error conditions that
may arise on the equipment and, if possible, what the operator must do to attempt to resolve the problem.
The table contains 2 types of errors:
Errors reset automatically: once the alarm condition has
•
been resolved the equipment starts working again and the
operator can weld again!
Errors NOT reset automatically: To eliminate the alarm
•
states and reinstate correct functioning of the machine, the
equipment must be switched off.
When it is switched on again, the machine will be working
again and the operator can weld again!
PLEASE NOTE: If when it switches on the error condition
recurs, contact the technical assistance immediately.
All of this is necessary to allow our technical assistance department (which must be contacted each time error mes-
sages appear on the equipment’s operator interface) to
resolve problems more easily, as quickly as possible and
thanks to the user’s reports, also because, in the meantime
the machine will not allow the operator to do their work.
