  • ECM Veneziano A1 Help...

    I want to bump my machine up about 0.1 bar, how do I do this? ;D

    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.

      thanks, dude!

      Its on 0.8 atm, going to jack it up to 0.9.

      Do I have to take the top panel off where all my cups, etc. would sit to get to the pressurestat?

        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.

          Is that similar to a computer with regards to grounding, etc.?

          Gonna give it a whirl now, thanks mate!

            NO Mate, it definitely is NOT....

            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,

              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,

                    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.

                        Doing it while running is better. Especially if it is a commercial machine. Flush water out and watch the pressure drop and build back up.

                          Yes, undoubtedly so. But were giving advice here to someone where the primary consideration should be safety first.
                          It only takes a few seconds longer, too.

                            So 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.

                              Its simple bon, the pressurestat is pretty easy to identify....the sparky bits are wires and they hold that nasty stuff....avoid them
