What is it?The LaSpaziale S1 Vivaldi II is an enhanced upgrade of the original S1 Vivaldi I. It has all the features of the original plus the following:
Downloadable User's ManualsVII User's Manual - This is a brand new, rewritten VII User's Manual which covers older VII's and new or upgraded ones with the extended temperature offset and preinfusion features. Last updated on 6/22/08. If your user's manual is dated before 6/22/08, trash it and use this one! VII Timer User's Manual - Here is the User's Manual for the optional VII Timer. This is a virtual rewrite of the manual shipped with the timer. Programmable Preinfusion and Extended Temperature Offset Upgrade2008 VII Firmware Update - New VII's sold or older VII's upgraded after June 26, 2008 support enhanced temperature offset capability and programmable pre-infusion. This document describes how to upgrade existing machines. It also includes the instructions for how to program the new offset and preinfusion capabilities for both upgraders and new machine purchasers. As an added bonus, here is a single page programming reference guide that covers all VII's with and without the above updates. If you don't have a color printer and need a grayscale version try this. Alternate Preinfusion Upgrade OptionProgressive Preinfusion - This is a mechanical add-on preinfusion option being targeted at the Mini VII by Chris Coffee Service. However, it can be used to upgrade the VI and VII Machines as well. The above mentioned programmable preinfusion option is a superior solution for the VII. However, VII owners lacking the confidence to remove their controller board and return it to Chris Coffee for a software upgrade many also opt for this easier to install solution. Other Useful VII InformationVI Versus VII - This page has photos comparing the original S1 Vivaldi I and the new S1 Vivaldi II. It highlights the differences between the two units. If you're not already familiar with the parts and lay-out of the original VI, it may be best to review this page first. VII Temperature Measurements - This page shows extensive temperature measurements across the entire VII programmable temperature range. These measurements are repeated with programmed offsets of 0șC, -1șC, and -2șC. Steam Arm Replacement - The attached PDF file has exploded diagrams of the following steam arms: V1/VII std, S5 replacement, and No-Burn Arm replacement. If you are taking your apart for cleaning, repairs, or replacement this will help you get things back together in the proper order. Also, it includes part numbers you can use in case you need to order a replacement. Actual gaskets are taped onto the sheets adjacent to where they go so you can figure out which is which. Note: The steam arm in the upper right on the first page is the original V1 steam arm in case anyone out there still has that one. This was replaced with the current steam arm over 3 years ago. Expansion Valve and Group Boiler Pressure Testing and Adjustment - This page has adjusted the instructions relative to the original one posted for the VI to account for design changes in the VII. VII Cheat Sheet - Here is a "cheat sheet" that can be applied above the control panel. The original version done for the V1 has been updated for applicability to the VII. This is a PDF file that will actually print 10 copies to a page. You can either print on plain paper and tape on or, for a more professional installation, you can use Inkjet Magnet sheets such as Avery part # 3270.
