Program volumes with touchpad or Bastone 

The Bastone version of the Slim Jim has 2 pre-set volumes per group, the touchpad version has 4 pre-
set volumes per group. When water flows through a coffee group, the flow meter of that group sends 
pulses to the controller. The controller counts the pulses after activation of the group and will de-
activate the group when the pre-set number of pulses has been received (that is: when the pre-set 
volume of water has passed the flow meter).  

The pre-set volumes can be programmed 2-ways: (1) with the Bastone units or touchpads, or (2) using 
the interface (in the Barista-

menu; submenu “volumes”).  

When using the Bastone or touchpad to program volumes, the left group is the dominant group 
meaning that when a volume is programmed on the left group, the other group(s) will take over that 
volume. After getting the machine to programming mode a shot is started and ended with the Bastone 
(or touchpad). Upon leaving the programming mode, the last programmed dispense for each shot 
volume is stored in memory. 

Note! 

Make sure to mimic an actual brew while programming volumes: check that the machine is at 
operational temperature for some time and prepare the coffee-bed as you normally would. 

procedure 

1.  get the controller in programming mode: 

•

 

touchpad: 

press-hold the upper button of the left touchpad (appr. 6 seconds) 

•

 

Bastone: 

press-hold the push button of the left Bastone (appr. 6 seconds) 

the (top, programming) LED on all units will start flashing.  
You now have 20-25 seconds to start the following 

2.  start the brew/dispense as normal 

•

 

touchpad: 

shortly press the button to be programmed 

•

 

Bastone: 

note the position of the toggle-switch, shortly press the Bastone handle down 

•

 

mix water: 

shortly press the dispense push button 

On a touchpad, the corresponding LED lights up and the programming LED will be continuously lit. 
On a Bastone unit, the LED will be continuously lit. 

3.  stop the brew/dispense when the correct volume is reached 

•

 

touchpad: 

shortly press the button to be programmed again 

•

 

Bastone: 

shortly press the Bastone handle down again 

•

 

mix water: 

shortly press the dispense push button again 

the (top) LED on all units will start flashing again 

you may now program another volume (on another or the same button/switch position if needed) or: 

4.  get the controller out of programming mode 

•

 

touchpad: 

shortly press the upper button of any touchpad 

•

 

Bastone: 

shortly press the push button of any Bastone unit 

the (top) LED will stop flashing. 

 

Note!

 

When the controller does not get into programming mode upon press-hold of the upper button/push-
button, use the main switch to switch the machine OFF, wait for the display to go blank, subsequently 
switch ON and then try again.
