It's the volumetric sensor that tells your machine's control board how much water has passed through the group, so it's central to shot-to-shot consistency on programmable machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGicar FMRT-F-F, fixed-wire lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 mm orifice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eG 1\/4\" female x female threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctional resistance: approximately 2.2k ohms measured across the leads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPATIBILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: machines using Gicar-type flowmeters, including many Ascaso, La Marzocco, and Rancilio models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces: Gicar 9.0.54.05G, 9.0.55.05G, 9.0.78.00, 9.0.78.00G, 9.0.95.05G, 9.0.95.19G, 9.0.96.06; Ascaso V..499; La Marzocco LAD070; Rancilio 10705126, 10705201, 10705208, 34070050; Nuova Ricambi 300038; Ricambi Gardosi R418\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINSTALLATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest left to a technician, it involves wiring the leads into the control board with correct polarity, though a confident DIYer comfortable with low-voltage wiring can manage it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRO TIPS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore condemning your control board over inconsistent dosing, test the flowmeter itself: a healthy unit reads roughly 2.2k ohms across its leads on a multimeter.
