The Brio ESE vending machine is fitted with the same actuation board used on the base model (with a specific Eprom); this board processes the information from the push-button board, the payment systems and from the sensors installed throughout the machine; it also controls the actuations and the display board It is built on SMT technology. An additional board was also add ed for the specific “ESE” version, located in the same compartment and controlling the “flow­through” espresso boiler
(see
photo).
Two other boards are installed :
1) The display board, which processes the information from the CPU board and converts it into readable signals, and the push­button board.
2) The push-button board that controls the display, the push­button actuations; it supports the connectors for the payment systems. The CPU/actuation board is set by default to achieve a temperature of 78-82° C in the Instant boiler. The espresso boiler cont rol board is set to achiev e a dispensing temperature of 78-85° C. See brewer unit paragraph for any corrections.

3 - AIR BREAK / BOILERS
The Brio ESE vending machine is fitted with two boilers, each for a specific function. A classic pressure boiler is used for Instant selections, normally fitted on the Base Brio as an all-purpose boiler, but it is kept at an internal pressure of 10 bar by means of specific setting of the by-pass valve. A “flow-through” boiler is used for Espresso selections; this boiler receives water from the base pressure boiler preheated at a temperature of approximately 80° C and then heats it up to 95-100° C. This solution ensures a long operating life without premature scaling problems. It is well known that in flow-through boilers, where water is heated from ambient temperature to brewing temperature in a very short time, very shortly there are problems with excessive scaling. The hydraulic circuit is conceived as follows: When the water in the air-break falls below the minimum level, a float triggers a microswitch that sends a signal to the board, which activates the water inlet solenoid valve “A”, then the water flows through the filter “B” and reaches the air-break “C” until it is full to the max level, controlled by the float and microswitch. When a coffee selection is made, after positioning the pod in the brewing chamber, the pressure boiler two-way solenoid valves is opened and the vibration pump is started for a length of time determined by the volumetric counter, that by computing the number of rotations of an impeller wheel sets the exact amount of water necessary for the selection. The necessary amount of water is drawn from the air-break and sent to the pressure boiler, thus pushing out the same amount of hot water (85° C) which is then delivered to the glow­through boiler, and heated up to 95° C by means of forced flow through a coil heated by the Espresso boiler heating element. This water is controlled by a pair of three-way solenoid valves, allowing the flow of water for brewing and for relieving the excess water in the pod, thus leaving a perfectly dry pod

NOTE: The pressure boiler is fitted with manual reset overheating protection. The flow-through Espresso boiler is fitted with overheating protection provided by two accurate thermo-fuses calibrated at 120° C; these fuses must be repl aced after they are trigg ered. Before resetting or replacing the above protections, the problem that caused the trigger must be identified and corrected.

4 – PUMPS AND BY – PASS
A standard vibration pump is used, also adopted on the base Brio, and fitted with overheating protection; however a by-pass pre-set at 10 bar is installed, to avoid un uneven use of the coffee pod and thus ensuring better dispensed product quality. To ensure greater pump reliability and better tightness against the pressure, a check valve was added at the boiler inlet, this way no anomalous leads are exerted on the pump when idle. Also the pump is fitted with a check valve, thus ensuring optimum tightness against the boiler internal pressure.

5 - BREWER UNIT FOR COFFEE PODS
The adopted brewer unit is used to brew coffee exclusively by means of continuous strip “ESE” pods (servings) with 100/200 doses. The pods are made up with an optimum coffee dose. The unit works as follows: When a selection is made the serving drive motor positions the pod in the brewing zone under the flow-through boiler. The unit motor lifts the piston until hermetically closing the brewing chamber. The three-way solenoid valve is opened so that the pressure boiler is connected to the flow-through boiler located above the brewer unit. The pressure boiler maintains the water at a temperature of approximately 80° C (ideal for instant products) and the flow-through boiler heats it up to 95-100° C (ideal for espresso coffee).
The brewing chamber is kept hot at the same temperature of the flow­through boiler. The pump delivers the programmed amount of water that is accurately computed by the volumetric counter. At the end the three-way solenoid valves are closed and the water still in the flow-though boiler is expelled through the third way of the valve. Then the unit motor is activated, lowering the piston until opening the brewing chamber. The “serving” drive motor is started, dragging the serving out of the brewing chamber. At this point the unit is ready for a new selection. In order to maintain the correct temperature up to the dispensing point, a special tube heated by a special permanent low-consumption heating element is used.

BREWER UNIT MAINTENANCE
Before any maintenance operations and adjustments it is necessary to wait for the unit to cool down completely.
Cleaning / replacing the coffee filters
The coffee filters must be cleaned and descaled at least every 2500 selections. To remove the lower filter, the flow-through boiler must be lifted (hinged to the brewer) after removing the keys 1 (front and if necessary back), this way access is gained to the lower filter; using a screwdriver lift the edge until removed completely. Clean and descale using suitable products. To replace the filter, press on the edges until reinserted completely.
Upper filter To remove the upper filter 2, undo the stainless steel screw
1.
This operation is possible after removing the upper boiler (see above). Filters and gaskets must be replaced not later than 25000 selections.

Manual Brio ESE 12 / 17
Setting the coffee water temperature (flow-through boiler)
The optimum temperature is set at the factory; should any adjustments and small changes be necessary, proceed as follows: Check the upper flow-through boiler temperature, which must be between 94° and 97° C. This way the dispensing temperature will be 78° to 84° C. Such temperature must be considered as optimum. If that is not the case, adjust the temperature using the trimmer 1 on the electronic board located at the back of the cabinet next to the machine board. It must be taken into account that: Tightening will decrease the temperature
Loosening will increase the temperature
Make very small adjustments and check the dispensing temperature. The instant boiler inlet water temperature is determined by the instant boiler temperature, as pre-heated water is sent to the flow-through boiler to reduce to a minimum the scaling problem typical of such boilers. For adjustments to the instant boiler see paragraph Boilers.
ADJUSTING THE POD HOLDER CLOSURE
In order to dispense a perfect coffee with the pod brewer it is very important to have a perfect setting on the closing position. The system is adjusted to the optimum setting at the factory, however in the event of disassembly for cleaning and/or replacing filters and gaskets it may be necessary to readjust the settings; in this case proceed as follows: To increase tightness between gasket 1 and filter 2 rotate the pin clockwise using an 11 mm spanner. To decrease tightness in the case of excessive interference the pin must be rotated anticlockwise. After the adjustment, the system is self-locking.
PERIODIC CLEANING OF THE FLOW-THROUGH BOILER
At least once a year, or not later than 10000 selections, the flow-through boiler must be cleaned and if necessary descaled; at the same time the sealing gasket must be replaced. In order to remove the boiler it is advisable to extract the brewer unit from the machine. Before any operations the vending machine must be disconnected from the power supply, and the unit must cool down completely. Disconnect the hydraulic circuits, disconnect the electrical connectors, completely undo the fastening screws and remove the unit from the machine. Remove the two securing keys from the upper boiler.
Proceed to cleaning, descaling and any replacement of worn components; thoroughly rinse and reassemble in the reverse ord er of disassembly .

BREWER UNIT CLEANING CYCLE
As well as manual cleaning through setting in the “Maintenance” menu, anyway performed without “Serving”, an automatic cleaning cycle can be set. After a selection, if a new “Serving” is not detected within 20 seconds, a cleaning cycle is carried out and the vending machine will be out of service for approximately 60 seconds. Manual cleaning must be carried out every time new “Servings” are loaded; it is however advisable to leave the automatic cycle control set at all times.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE COFFEE DISPENSING PARAMETER SETTINGS
In order to get the best possible quality for the dispensed products, the vending machine was adjusted to the optimum setting at the factory; however in relation to the products used it is advisable to check the following points:
The water dose, which must be between 35 and 40 cc. The coffee dispensing tempe ratu re, which must be between 78° e 85° C. The pump by-pass valve setting, adjusted to 10 bar by default. The dispensing time, which must be between 18 and 20 seconds, considering that a longer time (with the same water dose) could to clog filters, and a shorter time could alter the by-pass setting towards a higher pressure, and lead to poorer dispensing quality.
STANDARD SETTINGS
By default the vending machine is adjusted at the factory as follows: Coffee temperature at the spout, 78-85° C Instant boiler temperature, 78-82° C Dispensing time, 18 to 20 seconds Coffee water dose, 35 to 40 cc
ADJUSTING THE INSTANT BOILER WATER TEMPERATURE
The instant boiler has a dual function: it provides hot water for all instant products by means of its two-way solenoid valve. It pre-heats water for the flow-through boiler to avoid the scaling problem typical of such type of boiler. It is therefore important to have an optimum setting, as a temperature change affects also the final temperature of the coffee. To change such temperature the special trimmer on the machine board must be used. Considering that: Tightening (clockwise) will increase the temperature Loosening (anticlockwise) will decrease the temperature Each complete turn correspond to +/- 0.5° C change
BOILER OVERHEATING PROTECTIONS
The boilers are fitted with safety overheating protections. The espresso boiler is fitted with two thermo-fuses located above it and sheathed in a special silicone tube. In the event of failure that could cause boiler overheating, the two thermo-fuses melt, thus disconnecting the power from the heating element. After the occurrence of such melting, the problem that caused the malfunction must be identified, corrected and BOTH THERMO-FUSES MUST BE REPLACED with identical ones or having the same characteristics. Fuses must never be replaced with others that are not approved by the manufacturer, otherwise hazard conditions could be created and the manufacturer declines all responsibility. The instant boiler is fitted with manual reset overheating protection; therefore after having identified and corrected the cause it is sufficient to press the upper red button to restore the initial conditions.

Note 1
The water fl ow in the mi xers is appro ximately 10 cc per second and it i s gi ven as an indicati on, as ther e are many var iables that can affect the accur acy. The dose of liquids is determined by pulse setting of the volumetric counter (cdv). For both selections (coffee and instant) a vibration pump is used. The number of pulses does not vary in a linear manner, i.e. double the amount of water does not correspond to double the number of pulses. For espresso coffee the volum etri c counter is reduced b ecause o f the coffee co mpress reaction that slows down the water flow, while it is accelerated in the instant drinks selections, since ther e are no o bstr uctions to the w ater flow. T herefor e, in the event of changing the defaul t dose setting, some measurements must be made to ch eck the accur acy of the doses.
