Tank does not heat

•Low (long) electrode coated with lime or faulty.

•Connection from control board to tank body faulty.

•Connections from control board to heater relay faulty.

•Line voltage connections to heater relay faulty.

•Connections to remainder of heater circuit faulty.

• Heater relay faulty.

•Thermal cut-out tripped or faulty.

•Disconnect electrode wire at quick connect (purple wire). Connect a wire from the quick con- nect to the cabinet body. If heating begins, this is the error cause.

•Check to ensure connection (green wire) is secure.

•Check to ensure connections (gray and blue wires) are secure.

•Check to ensure connections (black and brown wires) are secure.

•Check to ensure connections from relay to thermal cut-out and from thermal cut-out to contactor and from contactor to proper ter- minal of terminal block are secure. See wiring diagram for more info- mation.

•Ensure that coil on heater relay is energized by ensuring that there is 24 VDC between the gray and blue wires attached to the relay. Remove the black and brown wires from the relay and check for an open circuit across the connection tabs (COM and NO) to which the wires were attached.

•Check for open circuit on thermal cut-out.

(NOTE: Tripping of thermal cut-out can indicate presence of another problem with the unit. Unit should be monitored)

•Remove electrode assembly and clean the probes. If problem is not corrected, replace electrode assembly.

•Make connection to tank secure.

•Make connections to relay secure.

•Make connections to relay secure.

•Make connections secure.

•If the relay coil is energized and there is an open circuit across the connection tabs, replace relay.

•Replace thermal cut-out.

Grindmaster’s lineup of commercial coffee brewing systems, including the APBVSA-330V2, APBIC-330V2, APBIC-430V2, APBVSA-430V2, and APB-430V2, is designed to meet the demands of high-volume coffee setups, offering a blend of efficiency, precision, and technology. These models are tailored for establishments such as cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores, where quality coffee is essential.

A prominent feature across these models is the advanced digital control system that ensures precise brewing temperatures and times. This technology is crucial for extracting the optimal flavor from coffee grounds. User-friendly touchscreen interfaces allow baristas to easily adjust settings, making these machines accessible even for less experienced staff.

The APBVSA (Auto Programmable Batching Variable Speed Appliances) series includes the APBVSA-330V2 and APBVSA-430V2, both known for their high-capacity brewing capabilities. They are equipped with variable speed pumps that enhance coffee extraction consistency. This feature is vital for operations that demand a steady volume of brew while maintaining high-quality standards. These models also incorporate brewing profiles that can be programmed to suit different types of coffee, allowing for customization based on customer preferences.

In contrast, the APBIC (Auto Programmable Batch Instant Coffee) versions, such as the APBIC-330V2 and APBIC-430V2, focus on instant coffee solutions. These machines provide an equally efficient service but are optimized for businesses that may not require the full range of brewing capacities. They offer quick brewing cycles and maintain a compact design, making them ideal for establishments with limited space.

The APB-430V2 represents a balance between capacity and versatility. This model features a dual brewing system allowing for simultaneous brewing of different coffee types, catering to diverse customer preferences effectively. The innovative thermal carafes that are often included with these models help maintain ideal serving temperatures without the risk of overbrewing.

All models feature robust construction and durable materials, ensuring longevity even in the busiest environments. Additionally, their energy-efficient systems are designed to reduce power consumption, appealing to environmentally conscious businesses.

In summary, the Grindmaster APB series combines technology with user-friendly operation, catering to the growing demand for high-quality, batch-brewed coffee in commercial settings.
