    Re: ECM Giotto dies.

    Hi Boris,

    Its an easy fix and about a 30min job. I can send you a wiring diagram if you want to do it yourself and save on caffeine withdrawl

    Youll need a 7mm spanner, small shifting spanner and 1 x insulated spade connector to blank off a terminal on the new board.

        Re: ECM Giotto dies.

        I called again today, any guesses?

        No, still not ready.

        No idea when it might be ready either, theyll call me when its fixed. :-/

        Its in the cue. Thats just the way it is. >


        I am to wait in the land of no coffee machine like an addict going through withdrawals. Im getting caffine, but I didnt realiase I would miss my machine sooo much. Not even an offer of a loaner (I would have though that would have been a good opportunity to push a replacement meachin) to tie me over, just wait till were good and ready.

        When ever that is................................................ ...................

            The new Proelind board is way more robust.

            Im glad I saw this, as Im thinking about buying a Giotto in the next few months.  Do the new machines come with these more robust Proelind boards already in them?

                    Re: ECM Giotto dies.

                    guys, lets not get too carried away here. My first board lasted 5 years.
                    Got the new one and its easy to replace.
                    Just follow the old one, the markings are the same so you cant stuff it up.

                    If a fool like myself can strip a giotto down completely, clean it replace some parts and put it back together in working order within a few days

                    then


                    anyone can do it


                    boris, go pick up your machine + part and do it yourself. It will take no more then 20 - 30 minutes

                      Hi Jon,

                      The new Proelind board is different to the RL30 in your machine (as I recall). You do need to follow the wiring diagram as this board is designed for the GPP and adapted to suit the GP. Replacement of the wiring loom allows GPP functionality with a flashing low water power light.

                        fair enough 2mcm, but with a few simple instructions to follow, as you have so kindly provided, im sure it still cant be that hard

                        all this talk of giottos
                        time to make a coffee and put some vinyl on to listen to

                          Re: ECM Giotto dies, but now lives again!!

                          On Wednesday when I called CosmoreX, I asked Dave to call me Friday AM and let me know how the job was progressing. No call,   , so I went around to collect Miss Giotto, dead or alive Friday arvo. Im here to collect my machine, Dave says its not ready, dont care, just want it back, Dave says its in bits waiting to be finished off, dont care, Ill take it as is. Ok says Dave and walks off. Dave returns empty handed with Mick the Techo. Mick appologies for the extensive delay, not acceptable, and if I can wait an hour, hell do it right now.  Man, if Id have had a hand full of coal, I would have made diamonds...

                          Paid the $394 and left. No appolgy from Dave, no nothing. Really really surprised and disappointed by the whole experience.

                          As soon as I got home I tested her out. Heats up fine, steams fime but there is definitely something different with the hot water output.
                          Now if I take a cup of hot water, it sounds like the fill pump kicks in and keeps pumping until the pressure guage hit around the 0.5 mark or lower, it never used to.

                          A question to users who have used both types of board, it this normal following the change of boards? My pressure when steady is around 1.2 / 1.1 where as previous to the board failing was around 1.3. Im just after confirmation either way if there is to be an expected change to performance following a board change.

                          Boris

                            I dont know about the Giotto, but Im sure someone will.

                            I do know that my Diadema standing pressure is between .85 and .95 after Cosmorexs pre-delivery set-up, and that it seems to work fine.

                              Thats normal.

                              That was not so good.

                              Thats totally irrelevant.

                              Hows the coffee Boris?

                                This is the same as what my GPP does: if you draw hot water, the pump will start and run for about 20 seconds. I havent noticed what the pressure gauge is doing at that time. It normally sits on about 1.1 bar
