flow meter cable

Cable which connects the IoT device Flow Gateway to the coffee machine’s flow meters. One cable is required for a 1-2 grouphead machine, two cables for a 3-4 grouphead machine. There are different types of two grouphead flow meter cables available to suit the different flow meter connections commonly found: https://flowcoffee-co-nz.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCI/pages/461242401/Espresso+machine+knowledge+base#Flow-meter-connection-variations

Flow Gateway assembly

The Flow Gateway, Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter, and power supplies are assembled
in the same location (usually under the bench where the coffee machine is) and the
Flow meter cable(s) are routed from there into the coffee machine.

...

Each flow meter has a positive (+), negative (-) and signal (0) terminal.  The type of connector and pinout used by the coffee machine / flow meters varies by manufacturer and model.  See Coffee machine flow meter connector https://flowcoffee-co-nz.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCI/pages/461242401/Espresso+machine+knowledge+base#Flow-meter-connection-variations for the different types coffee machine flow meter connectors and which adapters are required to connect them to the Flow Gateway.

...

  1. Mount the Flow device near the coffee machine in a location that is not likely to be disturbed or affected by heat / water / steam (usually under the counter is the most appropriate location).  Ensure the chosen location is in reach of the Flow meter cable and power outlet.

  2. Mount the device using high strength double sided foam tape (eg. 3M VHB Double Sided Foam Adhesive).

3. Route the Flow meter cable(s) to the

...

Flow Gateway and secure the cable

  1. Route the cable(s) through the service hole in the bottom of the coffee machine then to where the Flow Gateway will be located.

  2. Secure the cable(s) inside the coffee machine so that cannot touch any hot components like water piping or the boiler, and so that it cannot be dislodged if it is pulled from outside of the coffee machine.

  3. Plug the Flow meter cable(s) into the Flow Gateway.
