Functions:

Safety valve: functions as a safety valve by opening towards the drain in the event that the pressure rises above
16-19 bar

Filling the circuit: the solenoid valve opens (drain position) and the pump is activated, automatically refilling the
circuit by expelling the air in the pipe

Unit discharge: before the unit descends it opens briefly, discharging the pressure created to prevent spraying and
making the pad drier

Coffee beverage: when a coffee beverage is selected, the pump is charged briefly during the grinding process and
the valve assumes the drain position in order to fill the pipes with hot water.

Switching on
When the machine is switched on, the gearmotor repositions itself as follows:
- It acts on microswitch 1 (see following chapter)
- The gearmotor changes its rotation direction and moves upwards again by approx. 1-2 mm
-T he boiler begins to heat the water for approx. 45 sec., at full power, in order to reach the
optimal temperature. The temperature will then remain at a constant level.

Coffee cycle
1. The coffee grinder starts the grinding process (controlled by pulses generated by a sensor)
2. The gearmotor (brewing unit) moves to the dispensing position
3. Preliminary dispensing phase (short pump activity, short pause)
4. Product dispensing (the pump operation period is defined by the amount of product dispensed)
5. The gearmotor moves to its home position (the dregs are expelled automatically)

The gearmotor is powered by a direct current

2 motor that engages with the smaller double
toothed wheel using a worm screw. The
unit is mounted on the axle of the large
gear wheel and when a coffee is requested,
it moves from the standby position to the
dispensing position, and then back to the
standby position again.

An NTC is used as a temperature sensor; in the event of overheating this reduces boiler
element power consumption.
The electronic system detects the current boiler temperature from the drop in voltage of the
sensor and adjusts it accordingly.

4.7. Coffee grinder

6 4

1 2

The coffee grinder is driven by a direct current motor (1) using a worm screw helicoidal wheel
transmission (2).
The worm screw (2) drives a plastic gear wheel (3), which turns the lower grinder (4) and the
increment pin (5)
There are two magnets (6) in the gear wheel; at every rotation these induce two pulses to a Hall
sensor, which in turn transmits them to the electronic system.

4.8. Low bean level detection, dose quantity adjustment, coffee grinder
blocked

No coffee
Without beans n=100%
V t1 A low coffee bean level is detected by the Hall sensor,
after variations in the pulse frequency (with or without
coffee).
If there are no coffee beans (operation while empty),
the number of rotations – and therefore the number of
pulses – will be greater
t2 With beans n=100%
t1 = no coffee indication

If, however, there are coffee beans, the number of rotations

will be lower due to the force created by the grinding
t2 = no indication
t3 Without beans n=50%
t3 and t4 = this measurement is taken at the end of
each grinding cycle
Dose quantity adjustment
The dose quantity is adjusted in accordance with the
t4 With beans n=50% pulses detected (number of rotations proportional to the
weak/medium/strong aroma setting)
Coffee grinder blockage
If the coffee grinder becomes blocked for any reason,
pulses will no longer be transmitted to the electronic
t system and the grinder will come to a stop

Saeco International Group Rev. 00 / June 2010 Page 07 / 11

 EXPRELIA 04 OPERATING LOGIC

4.9 Dose self-learning (SAS)
The aim of this function is to automatically regulate the average dose of ground coffee (SELF-
LEARNING); this takes place with an algorithm based on three pieces of data that the machine
receives via the card:

1. Number of coffee grinder pulses during the grinding cycle

2. Max. average value of the power consumed by the group motor during the coffee brewing cycle
3. Aroma selected by the user

The algorithm compares the maximum average value of the power consumed by the group motor
with the value listed in the table for the selected aroma, in order to calculate the new grinding
pulse value for the next coffee produced.

If the value of the power consumed is lower than the value of the min. current, the grinding
pulses will be increased by 2.

If the power consumption value is greater than the maximum current value, the grinding pulses
will be decreased by 4.

If the power consumption value falls within the “over-torque” interval, the product will be
dispensed and the grinding pulses will be decreased by 10.

If the power consumption value falls within the “abort cycle” interval, the pad will be expelled and
the grinding pulses will be decreased by 10.

If the “pre-ground” flavour is selected by the user, no modification will be made.

This guarantees that, regardless of the coffee type used, the grinding level setting
and the wear on the grinders always remains constant.

Power consumption Pulses corrected in the next grinding process

Setting/Status
in mA Exceeded by Deficient by
A Mild aroma 200 - 300 mA -4 +2
B Medium Aroma 301 - 450 mA -4 +2
C Strong Aroma 451 - 600 mA -4 +2
D Over-limit 601 - 800 mA -4

E Overwork 801 - 1000 mA - 10

F Pad expulsion > 1000 mA - 10

Important:
For perfect operation, machine adjustment should take place in the area of the fields
highlighted in green (A, B, C). When the type or brand of coffee is changed, there may be
variations in the size of the beans and their stickiness or roasting level. This leads to variations
in power consumption (mA), with resulting excessive or insufficient doses (until the necessary

4.10. SBS

SBS - Saeco Brewing System - Principle

Controlling the flow speed, which influences
the contact time between the coffee and
water, changes the extraction and therefore
the taste intensity and strength of the coffee.
• Slower flow: strong extraction
• Fast flow: lighter extraction

SBS / dispensing valve

Turning the SBS control knob leads to brewing
taking place inside the brewing unit, where
the flow speed is adjusted using a cream
valve.

Cream valve control

Fast flow (slight extraction)
If the SBS valve is open, the coffee flows
more easily because the pressure is lower
and the membrane, with the support of
the spring, remains almost in its original
position.
The control needle does not close off the
opening and the flow is not diminished.

Cream valve control

Slow flow (strong extraction)
The coffee can only be dispensed slowly with
a closed SBS valve – a pressure is created
which forces the membrane to the side,
pushing it against the spring force.
In the next stage, the valve needle closes off
the opening, thus reducing the flow.

4.11. Water level detection (water tank)

“Water low” message (water reserve)

Function:
Water tank The water level is monitored by a capacitative sensor, located one
third of the way up the water tank wall.
If the electronics assembly detects, by means of the sensor,
that the amount of water in the tank has dropped below the
Sensor above mentioned level, a water reserve remains available for the
dispensing process underway (this will cover 200 turbine pulses).
The product dispensing process will then come to an end.
If a dispensing cycle ends after the sensor has been triggered (in
200 puls. the reserve) then the display “Water low” continues to be displayed
during the following dispensing cycle.

4.12. Water level detection (drip tray)

“Empty drip tray” - message

Function:
The residual water level is monitored using a capacitive
sensor. The sensor is located approximately halfway up the
Drip tray
upper edge of the drip tray. To ensure the best possible
use of the drip tray capacity, the sensor is located near to
Sensor a dam. Therefore, the drip tray fills up to the upper edge
of the dam and overflows inside, triggering the sensor and
thus the “Empty drip tray” message.

flowed through; after the specified amount (set
in accordance with the water hardness level), the
“Replace filter” message appears.

4.14. Water filter

Water filter

Function:
• Reduced limescale deposits which take longer to
form.
• Improved water quality.
• Improved taste due to the ideal water hardness

Life span / descaling performance:

• - 10 ° dH
• 60 litres
• 2 months

Bypass To achieve the best possible operating mode consistency

over the total life span, the water is channelled using
a 3-stage bypass (A, B, C) depending on the degree of
hardness.
