Which Astoria machines is this dosing control box compatible with?
This dosing control box is compatible with the Astoria Perla Junior 1-Group and Astoria Perla espresso machines. Match part number 18090066, the connectors, and the machine configuration with your existing unit before ordering.
Is this a universal control box for Astoria machines?
No. Part 18090066 is a model-specific dosing control box for compatible Perla Junior 1-Group and Perla machines. It is not a universal replacement for every Astoria espresso machine.
What voltage and frequency does it require?
The control box operates on a 220-240V supply at 50/60 Hz. Check both ratings against the machine's requirements and the existing control box before installation.
Can I use this control box in a 110-120V machine?
No. This control box requires 220-240V and is not suitable for a 110-120V machine. Replacing the control box does not convert the machine to another supply voltage.
Will replacing the control box fix a dosing fault?
Replacement is appropriate when a technician confirms that the dosing control box is faulty. Dosing problems can have other causes, so the machine should be diagnosed before replacing the electronic unit.
Who should install the replacement control box?
We recommend having a qualified espresso machine technician install the box, check the electrical connections, and test the dosing functions before returning the machine to service.
What is included, and where is the control box made?
The package contains one Astoria CMA dosing control box, part number 18090066. It is made in Italy.
