    Turn incoming water ON and check for leaks. Synesso machines require a minimum of 50 PSI (3.5 bar) of line pressure at 30 gal (120 L) per hour to have the auto-fill system, for the steam tank functioning properly. Please ensure that the incoming water meets this requirement or contact Synesso for alternative methods of boosting water pressure.
  • Page 10: Electrical Requirements

    ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS All Synesso machines are rated to operate on 220 VAC / 60 Hz or 230 VAC / 50 Hz frequency, single phase. Machines will operate between 208 V and 240 V. Listed amp ratings are all measured at 220 V. Incorrect voltage can cause malfunction or damage to the ma- chine.

  • Page 15: Operation

    Introduction to S Series Operation S Series machines are designed to operate as fully volumetric machines. This means that any time a group is activated, it will run the selected program until the set volume has been dispensed. S Series machines do not have a manual operation mode.
  • Page 16 7. After the shot, remove the portafilter, tap out your spent puck, and clean the basket. 8. Purge the group. S Series machines have purge buttons, which will dispense a timed pulse of full pressure water to aid in cleaning the group between shots. Set the duration of the purge in the handheld control- ler.
  • Page 17 Note: Although Synesso™ steam wands are made with a proprietary double-walled process that helps to keep the outer wall cooler, the tip and base can become very hot and caution must be used.
  • Page 18: Programming - Handheld Controller

    PROGRAMMING Overview S Series machines have a handheld (wired) controller, pictured below, to allow the user to comfortably view and change the machine settings. To change settings on these screens, first press the line button on the left side of the display associated with the setting you wish to change.
  • Page 19 PROGRAMMING Factory Settings: The factory settings for your machine are as follows: Brew Group Temperature 203°F Steam Tank Temperature 250°F Program Mode Universal (2 programs) Temperature Units Fahrenheit Left program: Right program: Pre-Infusion 4 seconds Pre-Infusion 4 seconds Total Water Count Total Water Count Menu Level 1: Brew Temperatures The set point is a goal temperature for the brew tank.
  • Page 20: Volumetric Programs

    PROGRAMMING Menu Level 1: Programs If the machine has been set to universal program mode, you will be able to change the “Left” and “Right” program, setting the preinfusion time and water count for each. Each brew group will use these programs. This is the default mode.
  • Page 21 PROGRAMMING Steam Tank and Hot Water Tap Continued... From the picture on the previous page, Line 1 shows the current reading of the steam tank temperature probe (250.8F in this example). Once this temperature reaches the set point, the digital display will continu- ously adjust in small increments as the electronics balance the temperature.
  • Page 22: Error Codes

    To cycle back to the temperature overview screen, press the down button. Menu Level 1: Brew System Error Codes In an effort to prevent damage to machines and to help operators troubleshoot issues, Synesso has engi- neered several safeguards into the programming. By understanding these codes, operators can remedy is- sues more quickly.

    PROGRAMMING There are 3 levels of menus a technician can access through the wired controller: Menu level 1 described on pages 18-22 contain settings relevant to the day-to-day operation of the machine. Menu level 2 contains settings relevant to technicians and machine owners. To access menu level 2: ...
  • Page 24 PROGRAMMING Note on Brew Valve Setting Setting the brew valve function to [ON] will activate all the brew valves, allowing the pressure to be bled from the brew tanks. Before draining the tanks, turn off the heating element breaker. Once the pressure has dropped, turn the brew valve setting back to [NORMAL] and attach the appropriate drain hose to the brew group’s drain fitting.
  • Page 25 Line 3 indicates the temperature adjustment made at the Synesso factory, in order to match the measured temperature with the temperature desired inside the puck. Synesso keeps a log of the factory offsets for each machine. Contact Synesso Technical Support if you need to obtain the original factory-determined offset values.
  • Page 26 Add time here if the machine is in an unstable installation such as a food truck or catering cart. There is no need to drop this time below 5 seconds. Synesso keeps a log of the factory offsets for each machine. Contact Synesso Technical Support if you need to obtain the original factory-determined offset values.
  • Page 27 PROGRAMMING Menu Level 2: System Clock This is the system clock screen. Line 2 allows the operator to set the local time in a 24 hour format. Line 3 and 4 allow the operator to set the current date. The date and time are used for the error log. A small battery on the power board should keep the clock and calendar running if the machine loses power, but it will need to be replaced eventually.
  • Page 28: Menu Level 1 - Operations

    PROGRAMMING Menu Level 2: Error Log Line 1 of the error log screen shows how many errors the machine has recorded, up to the 35 most recent errors, and which of these you are currently viewing. This example is showing the second of two errors. Line 2 indicates the error code.

  • Page 36 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Brew Gauge Brew Pressure Gauge Needle Value Changes Often: • This is normal. The lowest number (usually 3-5 bar) reflects the incoming line pressure. When brewing the needle reflects brew pressure (8.5-9 bar). When the brew tanks heat, the water expands and the ex- pansion valve relieves the pressure at 11 or 12 Bar.
