Retrofit Kit Pro installation
Before the physical installation of the retrofit gateway, it is necessary to install the first FW version compatible with the recognition of the retrofit kit (rc4). The firmware update has to be performed via the USB key provided in the retrofit kit. – Insert the key in the USB port, located on the front panel of the electronic box. – Access the tech menu on the machine (pressing the flush button for 5 seconds and entering the password). – Navigate the menu with B1 and until you find the section “Update Firmware (USB)” Press B3 to access it. – Update the machine firmware and once finalised exit tech menu.
Cabling.
Insert the connecting cable of the retrofit gateway into the cable protection sleeve (provided with the retrofit kit) and connect it to a CA port. We suggest to use the port located on the back of the display of the espresso machine. For correct installation, follow the instructions provided in the Manual enclosed in the retrofit kit box. Once connected to the espresso machine, plug the retrofit gateway into the electrical outlet and allow 1 minute for correct initialization.
