ECM Veneziano A1 Help...

Re: ECM Veneziano A1 Help...
Bon- this is done via adjustment of the pressurestat with a flat blade screwdriver.
I would not run over 1.0 bar as there will be a temperature increase at the grouphead, potentially leading to bitter espresso.

Re: ECM Veneziano A1 Help...
Yeppers- thats correct. It will be pretty obvious. NB your machine will be live as you do this, so the normal safety caveats apply. If youre unsure as to how to go about it, get a service guy to do it. Its a quick adjustment.

Re: ECM Veneziano A1 Help...
NO Mate, it definitely is NOT....Originally posted by Bon link=1176768978/0#4 date=1176773733Is that similar to a computer with regards to grounding, etc.?
Gonna give it a whirl now, thanks mate!
If you ground yourself and manage to contact a live conductor and you dont have RCD protection on your switchboard, you can be killed. Sounds to me like you shouldnt be doing this job.... call a Techie and play it safe,

Re: ECM Veneziano A1 Help...
Mal...I realise youre looking out for this bloke...but seriously..its not hard to explain to someone, all you have to do is pull out the power plug, make sure the machine isnt hot...pop the hood and turn a little screw. Very unlikely hes gonna kill himself doing the above steps.
Calling a techie and spending heaps of money for a 2 minute piss of a job.... :

If you read 2mcms post above, youll note that this adjustment is carried out with the machine LIVE, hence my warning,Originally posted by 2muchcoffeeman link=1176768978/0#3 date=1176770841Yeppers- thats correct.

Re: ECM Veneziano A1 Help...
I think Bons concern was that he would zap the machines electrics with static.
However, cant the machine be turned off at the wall, the pressurestat adjustment made, switched on once more, pressure reading checked, and the procedure repeated until desired pressure is reached?
Im not familiar with the Veneziano pressurestat, but thats how I adjust the Sirai pressurestat.

Re: ECM Veneziano A1 Help...
Yes, undoubtedly so. But were giving advice here to someone where the primary consideration should be safety first.Originally posted by Wushoes link=1176768978/0#11 date=1176866102Doing it while running is better. Especially if it is a commercial machine. Flush water out and watch the pressure drop and build back up.
It only takes a few seconds longer, too.

Re: ECM Veneziano A1 Help...
Its simple bon, the pressurestat is pretty easy to identify....the sparky bits are wires and they hold that nasty stuff....avoid themOriginally posted by Bon link=1176768978/0#13 date=1176920267So does anyone wanna tell me how to do it live, and safely? I promise if I hurt myself, Ill do it good enough so I wont live to sue you.
