5. Electrical System
Safety
*
Always
ensure power is off at the circuit breaker before removing or cutting any wires on the
machine.
*
Never
apply power to the machine without first insuring that all connections are properly insulated
and no live wires are touching the frame.
*
Never
replace a wire or fuse in a machine that is not of the same rating as the one you are replac
ing.
Using your Multi-meter
* Ensure power is off when measuring resistance.
* Ensure the lead you are testing voltage with does not come in contact with the frame.
* Do not use leads that are damaged.
Overview
* Power enters the machine through the power cord, which then enters a large terminal block, and
then to the main power switch.
* The main power switch has three positions:
* The first position, “0”, is the off position.
* The second position, “1” (fill), provides power to the controller, pump, and the solenoid
coils.
* The third position, “2” (run), provides power to the heating elements.
Main High Voltage Wiring
The main wiring harness begins with the power cord and continues on throughout the machine.
* Two wires (one red, the other blue) provide ac power to the microprocessor as well as the valve
coils and brew switches.
* One leg is attached to all ac components at all times. (Unswitched leg)
* While the other leg is switched on either by the brew switch or the microprocessor, to activate the
component (switched leg).
* Each solenoid valve coil and the pump are supplied with one leg of 110v at all times.
* The control box and manual override switches provide the coils and pump with the second leg of
110v necessary to activate them.
Rocker Switches
All of the rocker switches on the LaMarzocco are double pole single throw.
* Contact is always made from top to bottom.
* Left and right sides are isolated from one another.
* Test rocker switches by turning the machine off and disconnecting the wires from the suspect
switch. Use a multi-meter to measure ohms from top to bottom with the switch on. A reading
of 0 ohms indicates a functional switch.
