 6.1 Reset coffee grounds drawer.

The “empty coffee grounds drawer” message is signalled by a “coffee” beverages counter
controlled by the appliance electronics.
The counter is cleared “empty coffee grounds drawer” reset message:
1. After 13 coffees, if the grounds drawer is removed for more than 5 seconds.
2. Each time the grounds drawer is removed for more than 5 seconds when an “empty
coffee grounds drawer” alarm has been generated (it is assumed that the grounds
drawer has been emptied).

N.B:
If the 12th coffee is actually a “double coffee”, the “empty coffee grounds drawer” alarm will be
generated at the 14th coffee. As a result, the counter for the “empty coffee grounds drawer” in
this case would be reset at the 14th coffee.

6.2 Water reserve

Talea models have a fixed reserve (turbine pulses) to ensure the selected beverage can be fully
(partially or totally) dispensed each time the capacitive sensor registers the presence of water
in the water tank. Otherwise, the appliance displays the “fill water tank” message and will not
dispense the beverage.
The beverage will be dispensed in full or in part depending on whether the remaining reserve is
enough to cover the programmed length of the selected beverage.
On selection, a message requests that the water tank is filled.

Example:

Starting water level

10 cc
Capacitive sensor
actual 90 cc level
not configurable
via SW

e.g: sensor registers presence of water (+10cc).

Hypothesis 1) A 60cc beverage is selected, 50cc is taken from the reserve, the beverage is
dispensed in full, and the “fill water tank” message appears.
Hypothesis 2) A 110cc beverage is selected, 90cc is taken from the reserve, the product is
dispensed in part (100cc), and the “fill water tank” message appears.
Hypothesis 3) A double 110cc coffee is selected; the first is dispensed in part (100cc),
the fill tank message appears, then the second one is dispensed in full (110cc).
Hypothesis 4) Double 40cc coffees are selected; the appliance dispenses both in full.

Operating logic with “AQUA PRIMA” filter.

When use of the “aqua prima” filter is selected on the user menu or via the control panel, the
system water count logic is as follows:

If the “aqua prima” function is enabled the electronics perform a pulse count of the turbine,
recording one pulse every 2 revolutions.

If the “aqua prima” function is disabled, the electronics perform a pulse count of the turbine,
recording one pulse every revolution.

The graph in the figure below illustrates this function:

 6.5 SBS Valve

Beverage dispensing
The SBS brewing system valve (see Fig. 2) controllable via the knob, enables variation (increas-
ing or decreasing according to the position of the knob) of the water flow rate for brewing.
This adjusts the coffee brewing time (extraction time) and consequently the intensity of taste,
keeping the cream quality constant.

Function
With the SBS valve in the open position, coffee is accumulated in the membrane valve due to a
low back-pressure of the SBS valve. Consequently the membrane valve needle remains in the
maximum open position, due to resistance of the spring. Coffee exits quickly (see fig. 3).
With the SBS valve in the closed position, coffee is accumulated on the membrane of the valve
with a consequent increase in pressure in the valve. The spring yields to the back-pressure and
the needle then reduces the coffee passage (see Fig. 4).

SBS valve operation check

To ensure correct operation of the valve SBS a long coffee should be made, and during
preparation of the latter, check the difference in dispensing speed between the maximum and
minimum positions.
The difference in dispensing speed is approx. 2.5 times greater (and therefore VERY
obvious!!).

 6.6 Solenoid pilot

Needle

Drain

Brew
Brew group valve group
(3 - 5 bars) drain valve

Solenoid pilot function:

1. Brew group drain: before the group is lowered, the solenoid pilot opens briefly creating a depression
that in turn opens the valve in the opposite direction from dispensing, allowing any
water left in the group to be drained and keeping the pad dry.

2. Coffee ready after steam: when a coffee or water are selected, the solenoid pilot opens the drain valve
to lower pressure in the heater.

3. Prime heater: after a period in standby or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period
(1st coffee), the pump loads briefly during grinding to get rid of any water between the
heater pin and heater, and to pre-heat the elements.

4. Fill circuit: the solenoid pilot discharges and recharges automatically. The discharge occurs via the drain
pipe and not via the valve.

5. Relief valve: the solenoid pilot also serves as a relief valve (not present on pump), opening in the event
of pressure in excess of 16-19 bars.

6. Lower pressure: pressure is lowered by the circuit being discharged for 10 seconds after water or steam
have been dispensed (see variables A and B).

A) Configuration with dual-sensor valve card (water/steam position sensor + Milk Island posi-
tion sensor):
After water has been dispensed - > the solenoid pilot opens to the discharge side as soon as the sensor is
disengaged.
Immediately after steam has been dispensed - > the solenoid pilot opens to the discharge side as soon as
the sensor is disengaged.
Water dispensed after steam has been dispensed -> the solenoid pilot opens to the discharge side as soon
as the sensor is disengaged.
- After each beverage has been dispensed -> the solenoid pilot opens to the discharge side.
- Each time the appliance is switched on and the temperature is reached -> the solenoid pilot opens to the
discharge side.
- When the temperature is reached -> the solenoid pilot opens to the discharge side.

B) Configuration with three-sensor valve card (water/steam sensor + closed position sensor +
milk island position sensor):
In addition to the functions described in configuration A, the following also occur:
Each time the closed position central sensor is disengaged -> always open the solenoid pilot towards the
discharge side.
