4.11.2 Offset Temperature Adjustment
What Does Temperature Offset Do? / How Do I Use it?
The Vivaldi group design exhibits a temperature drop between where the group boiler
temperature probe is located and where the hot water exits the group. Consequently,
the temperature setting shown by the temperature lamps on the front panel may differ
from the water temperature at the group. Ideally, most users would prefer that the
temperature indicated by the temperate lamps exactly matches the water temperature
exiting the group. LaSpaziale has partially accounted for this in its basic design.
However, there are too many machine to machine electrical and mechanical variances
for this to be completely effective. That’s where the temperature offset comes in. The
programmable temperature offset allows a user with accurate group temperature
measuring equipment to enter an offset in the range of ±8˚C (for extended offset option
or 0 to -8˚C for standard offset option) in order to allow their machines temperature
lamps to exactly match the water temperature exiting the group.
Those purchasing new machines from Chris Coffee Service have had the temperature
offset professionally programmed used a Scace device. However, for those obtaining
the expanded offset capability via an upgrade, it is recommended that you note the
current offset prior to upgrading and then duplicate that offset using the instructions
below. If you do not know how to tell what your current offset is, you can find out by
entering the temperature offset mode and then following instructions in paragraph
4.11.2.
To Which Machines Do These Instructions Apply?
Instructions are given in the two sections below both. This first is for machines with
the original offset adjustment. The section that follows is for machines with the
extended temperature offset adjustment. In general if you purchased a new VII Mini
from Chris Coffee after 7/1/2008, then the extended offset instructions should apply.
If you are unsure, try both methods outlined below. Only one will work and then you’ll
know which version you have.
