SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: THE SHADED AREAS ON THIS SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM INCORPORATE SPECIAL FEATURES

IMPORTANT FOR PROTECTION FROM MICROWAVE RADIATION, FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND

HAZARDS. WHEN SERVICING IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ONLY MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFIED PARTS

BE USED FOR THE CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN THE SHADED AREAS OF THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM.

NOTICE: SINCE THIS IS BASIC SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM, THE VALUES OF COMPONENTS AND

SOME PARTIAL CONNECTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE FOR IMPROVEMENT.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DETAILS

• The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary
voltage to the micom controller when power cord is
plugged in.

• When the door is closed, the primary switch is ON, the

secondary switch is ON, and the monitor switch opens
(contact COM and NO).

WHEN SELECTING COOKING POWER
LEVEL AND TIME

• The micom controller memorizes the function you set.

• The time you set appears in the display window.

• Each indicator light turns on to indicate that the stage

has been set.

WHEN TOUCHING THE START PAD

• The coil of the relay is energized by the micom

controller.

• Power input is supplied to the high voltage transformer

through the fuse to the primary switch and relay 2.

• Turntable rotates.

• The fan motor rotates and cools the magnetron by

blowing the air (coming from the intake on the
baseplate).

• The air is also directed into the oven to exhaust the

vapor in the oven through the upper plate.

• Cooking time starts counting down.

• 3.2 volts AC is generated from the filament winding of

the high voltage transformer. This 3.2 volts is applied to
the magnetron to heat the magnetron filament through
two noise-preventing choke coils.

• A high voltage of approximately 2100 volts AC is
generated in the secondary of the high voltage
transformer which is increased by the action of the high
voltage diode and charging of the high voltage
capacitor.

• The negative 4,000 Volts DC is applied to the filament
of the magnetron.

WHEN THE OVEN IS SET AT ANY LEVEL
EXCEPT MAXIMUM.

• The micom controller controls the ON-OFF time of
relay 2 by the applied signal to vary the average output
power of microwave oven as POWER LEVEL.
(refer to page 1-1)

• One complete cycle of relay 2 is 22 seconds.

WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED DURING
COOKING

• Both the primary switch and relay 2 cut off the primary
winding voltage of the high voltage transformer.

• ON-OFF of relay 2 is coupled electrically with opening
and closing of the secondary switch.

• When the door is opened, the secondary switch is
opened and when the door is closed, the secondary
switch is closed.

• The cooking time stops counting down.

• Relay stops functioning.

• As the door is opened, if the contact of primary switch
and relay2 and/or secondary switch fail to open, the
fuse opens due to the large current surge caused by
the monitor switch activation, which in turn stops
magnetron oscillation.

WARNING : AVOID CONTACTING ANY

HIGH VOLTAGE PARTS

• Microwave power output measurement is made with
the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and
operated at its maximum microwave power setting with
a load of (1000±5) g of potable water.

• The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate glass
vessel having a maximum material thickness of 3 mm
and an outside diameter of approximately 190mm.

• The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient
temperature prior to the start of the test.

• The initial temperature (T1) of the water is (10±2)°C It
is measured immediately before the water is added to
the vessel. After addition of the water to the vessel,
the load is immediately placed on the center of the
turntable which is in the lowest position and the
microwave power switched on.

• The time T for the temperature of the water to rise by a
value ∆ T of (10±2)°K is measured, where T is the time
in seconds and ∆T is the temperature rise. The initial
and final water temperatures are selected so that the
maximum difference between the final water
temperature and the ambient temperature is 5°K.

• The microwave power output P in watts is calculated
from the following formula :

4187 x (∆T)

T

is measured while the microwave generator is
operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-up
time is not included. (about 3 sec)

• The water is stirred to equalize temperature throughout

TROUBLE SHOOTING

WHEN YOU GET A COMPLAINT FROM YOUR CUSTOMER, EVALUATE THE COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. IF
THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS APPLY, PLEASE INSTRUCT THE CUSTOMER IN THE PROPER USE OF THE
MICROWAVE OVEN. THIS CAN ELIMINATE AN UNNECESSARY SERVICE CALL.

CAUTIONS

1. Check grounding before checking for trouble.

2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit.

3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor. (See page 2-1)

4. When checking the continuity of the switches or of the high voltage transformer, disconnect one lead wire
from these parts and then check continuity with the AC plug removed. To do otherwise may result in a
false reading or damage to your meter.

5. Do not touch any part of the circuit on the PCB since static electric discharge may damage this control
panel.
Always touch yourself to ground while working on this panel to discharge any static charge built up in your
body. (Micom model only)
