4.7. Flowmeter
4.7.1. Mode of operation
Flowing water turns the impeller (rotor) running on the middle axle of the white plastic
flowmeter. The flowmeter are located on the right side of machine, under the tank base.
The two magnets fitted to the rotor send signals which allow a reed contact to count the
number of revolutions. The pulses generated are transmitted to the control system. This
allows the amounts of coffee or hot water to be dispensed in ml (millilitres).
4.7.2. Replacing the flowmeter
Removing the flowmeter
•
In the event of clogging or scale build-up.
