Power transformerRY2
1. Rated voltage is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer. The voltage is converted to about
3.3 volts A.C. output on the filament winding and high
voltage of approximately 2000 volts A.C. on the
secondary winding.
2. The filament winding voltage (3.3 volts) heats the
magnetron filament and the high voltage (2000 volts) is
sent to the voltage doubling circuit, where it is doubled
to negative voltage of approximately 4000 volts D.C..
3. The 2450 MHz microwave energy produced in the
magnetron generates a wave length of 12.24 cm. This
energy is channelled through the waveguide (transport
channel) into the oven cavity, where the food is placed
to be cooked.
4. When the cooking time is up, a signal tone is heard and
the relays (RY1+RY2) go back to their home position
(off condition)º. The circuits to the oven lamp, power
transformer, fan motor and turntable motor are cut off.
5. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, the
switches come to the following condition

and 2nd. interlock relay control switch are made open.
The oven lamp remains on even if the oven door is
opened after the cooking cycle has been interrupted,
(NO COOKING)
because the relay (RY1) stays closed. Shown in the
display is the remaining time.
6. MONITOR SWITCH CIRCUIT
The monitor switch is mechanically controlled by oven
door, and monitors the operation of the 1st. latch switch
and 2nd. interlock relay.
6-1 When the oven door is opened during or after the
cycle of a cooking program, the 1st. latch switch and
2nd. interlock relay control switch must open their
contacts first. After that the contacts (COM-NC) of the
monitor switch can be closed.
6-2. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-
NC) of the monitor switch must be opened first. After
that the contacts of the 1st. latch switch and 2nd.
interlock relay control switch are closed.
6-3. When the oven door is opened and the contacts of the
1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay remain
closed. The fuse F10A will blow, because the monitor
switch is closed and a short circuit is caused.
VARIABLE COOKING
When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking
power. Rated voltage is supplied to the power transformer
intermittently within a 32-second time base through the
relay contact which is coupled with the relay (RY2). The
following levels of microwave power are given.

NOTE: The ON/OFF time ratio does not exactly correspond
to the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 3 seconds are needed for heating up the
magnetron filament.
SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR COOK or SENSOR INSTANT REHEAT function, the foods are cooked or reheated without
figuring time, power level or quantity. When the oven
senses enough steam from the food, it relays the information to its microprocessor which will calculate the remaining
cooking time and power level needed for best results.
When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed. The
sensor “senses” the vapor and its resistance increases
gradually. When the resistance reaches the value set
according to the menu, supplementary cooking is started.
The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experiment with each food category and inputted into the LSI.
An example of how sensor works:
4
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very
slowly.
2. Heat potatoes. Moisture and humidity is emitted rapidly.
You can smell the aroma as it cooks.
3. Sensor detects moisture and humidity and calculates
cooking time and variable power.

Cooking Sequence.
1. Touch each SENSOR COOK or SENSOR INSTANT
REHEAT function pad to operating the sensor cooking.
Refer to the operation manual for the proper procedure.
NOTE: The oven should not be operated on SENSOR
COOK or SENSOR INSTANT REHEAT
immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait two
minutes before cooking on SENSOR COOK or
SENSOR INSTANT REHEAT.
2. The coil of shut-off relay (RY-1) is energized, the
turntable motor, oven lamp and cooling fan motor are
turned on, but the power transformer is not turned on.
3. After about 16 seconds, the cook relay (RY-2) is
energized. The power transformer is turned on,
microwave energy is produced and first stage is started.
The 16 seconds is the cooling time required to remove
any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the door or
touch STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking
time and the timer counts down to zero.
At this time, the door may be opened to stir food, turn
it or season, etc.
5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds.
The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-energized and
the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.
6. Opening the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad,
the time of day will reappear on the display and the
oven will revert to an OFF condition.
POWER OUTPUT REDUCTION
After 100% power cooking mode is carried out more than
40 minutes, the power output is automatically reduced to
70%.

THERMAL CUT-OUT 145˚C (OVEN)
The thermal cut-out located on the top of the oven cavity
is designed to prevent damage to the oven if the foods in
the oven catch fire due to over heating produced by
improper setting of cook time or failure of control unit.
Under normal operation, the oven thermal cut-out remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperature is
reached within the oven cavity, the oven thermal cut-out
will open at 145˚C, causing the oven to shut down. The
defective thermal cut-out must be replaced with new one.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 145˚C (MAGNETRON)
The thermal cut-out located near the magnetron is designed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over
heated condition develops in the tube due to cooling fan
failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc.
Under normal operation, the thermal cut-out remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the magnetron, the thermal cut-out will
open at 145˚C causing the oven to shut down. The
defective thermal cut-out must be replaced with new one.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor drives the turntable roller assembly to
rotate the turntable.
FAN MOTOR
The fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air.
This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding
the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is channelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and
vapours given off from the heating foods. It is then exhausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven
cavity.
NOISE FILTER
The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference
that might flow back in the power circuit.
FUSE (F10A)
1. If the wire harness or electrical components are shortcircuited, this fuse blows to prevent an electric shock or
fire hazard.
2. The fuse also blows when 1st. latch switch and 2nd.
interlock relay remains closed with the oven door open
and when the monitor switch closes.
HIGH VOLTAGE FUSE 0.75A
The high voltage fuse blows when the high voltage rectifier
or magnetron is shorted.

SERVICING
WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
R-480J
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with
any part of the high voltage circuit will result in
electrocution. High voltage capacitor, Power transformer, Magnetron, High voltage rectifier assembly, High voltage fuse, High voltage harness.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply.
2) Door opened, and wedged open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: AGAINST THE CHARGE OF THE
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about
60 seconds after the oven has been switched off.
Wait for 60 seconds and then short-circuit the
connection of the high-voltage capacitor (that is, of
the connecting lead of the high-voltage rectifier)
against the chassis with the use of an insulated
screwdriver.
Sharp recommend that wherever possible fault-finding
is carried out with the supply disconnected. It may, in
some cases, be necessary to connect the supply after
the outer case has been removed, in this event carry
out 3D checks and then disconnect the leads to the
primary of the power transformer. Ensure that these
leads remain isolated from other components and the
oven chassis. (Use insulation tape if necessary.) When
the testing is completed carry out 3D checks and
reconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 4R
1) Reconnect all leads removed from components
during testing.
2) Replace the outer case (cabinet).
3) Reconnect the supply.
4) Run the oven. Check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for
the presence of microwave energy within a cavity,
place a cup of cold water on the oven turntable, close
the door and set the microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. Set the power level to HIGH and push the
START button. When the two minutes has elapsed
(timer at zero) carefully check that the water is now hot.
If the water remains cold carry out 3D checks and reexamine the connections to the component being
tested.
When all service work is completed and the oven is fully assembled, the microwave power output should be
checked and microwave leakage test should be carried out.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to
follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the
checks. Many of the possible causes of trouble will require
that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a
procedure letter which will be found in the “Test Procedure
“section.
IMPORTANT: If the oven becomes inoperative because
of a blown fuse F10A in the 1st. latch
switch - 2nd. interlock relay - monitor switch
circuit, check the 1st. latch switch, 2nd.
interlock relay and monitor switch before
replacing the fuse F10A.

AMAGNETRON TEST
NEVER TOUCH ANY PART IN THE CIRCUIT WITH YOUR HAND OR AN INSULATED TOOL
WHILE THE OVEN IS IN OPERATION.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECK.
Isolate the magnetron from high voltage circuit by removing all leads connected to filament terminal.
To test for an open circuit filament use an ohmmeter to make a continuity test between the magnetron
filament terminals, the meter should show a reading of less than 1 ohm.
To test for short circuit filament to anode condition, connect ohmmeter between one of the filament
terminals and the case of the magnetron (ground). This test should be indicated an infinite resistance.
If a low or zero resistance reading is obtained then the magnetron should be replaced.
MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER (1 litre water load)
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled
condition (outer case fitted). Microwave output power from the magnetron can be measured by IEC
test procedure, i.e. it can be measured by using water load how much it can be absorbed by the water
load. To measure the microwave output power in the microwave oven, the relation of calorie and watt
is used. When P(W) heating works for t(second), approximately P x t/4.187 calorie is generated. On
the other hand, if the temperature of the water with V(ml) rises ∆T (˚C) during this microwave heating
period, the calorie of the water is V x ∆T.
COMPONENT TEST
The formula is as follows;
P x t / 4.187 = V x ∆ T+ 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)/
4.187P (W) = 4.187 x V x ∆T / t + 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)/t
Our condition for water load is as follows:
Room temperature (T0) ... around 20°CPower supply Voltage .............. Rated voltage
Water load..................................1000 gInitial temperature (T1) ...................... 10±1°C
Heating time .............................. 35 sec.Mass of container (mc) ......................... 330 g
T2 ................ Final Temperature∆T = T2 - T1P = 120 x ∆T + 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)/35
Measuring condition:
1. Container
The water container must be a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material
thickness of 3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190 mm.
2. Temperature of the oven and vessel
The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient temperature prior to the start of the test.
3. Temperature of the water
The initial temperature of the water is (10±1)˚C.
4. Select the initial and final water temperature so that the maximum difference between the final
water temperature and the ambient temperature is 5˚C.
5. Select stirring devices and measuring instruments in order to minimize addition or removal of heat.
6. The graduation of the thermometer must be scaled by 0.1˚C at minimum and an accurate
thermometer.
7. The water load must be (1000±5) g.
8. “t” is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. Magnetron filament heatup time is not included.
NOTE: The operation time of the microwave oven is “t + 3” sec. 3 sec. is magnetron filament heat-
up time.
Measuring method:
1. Measure the initial temperature of the water before the water is added to the vessel.
(Example: The initial temperature T1 = 11˚C)
2. Add the 1 litre water to the vessel.
3. Place the load on the centre of the shelf.
4. Operate the microwave oven at HIGH for the temperature of the water rises by a value ∆ T of
10 ˚C.
5. Stir the water to equalize temperature throughout the vessel.
6. Measure the final water temperature. (Example: The final temperature T2 = 21°C)
7. Calculate the microwave power output P in watts from above formula.

Checking the initial sensor cooking condition
WARNING : The oven should be fully assembled before following procedure.
(1) The oven should be plugged in at least two minutes before sensor cooking.
(2) Room temperature should not exceed 35˚C.
(3) The unit should not be installed in any area where heat and steam are generated. The unit should
not be installed, for example, next to a conventional surface unit. Refer to the “INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS” of the operation manual.
(4) Exhaust vents are provided on the back of the unit for proper cooling and air flow in the cavity. To
permit adequate ventilation, be sure to install so as not to block these vents. There should be some
space for air circulation.
(5) Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
(6) The Sensor works with food at normal storage temperature. For example, chicken pieces would
be at refrigerator temperature and canned soup at room temperature.
(7) Avoid using aerosol sprays or cleaning solvents near the oven while using Sensor settings. The
sensor will detect the vapor given of by the spray and turn off before food is properly cooked.
(8)
If the sensor has not detected the vapor of the food, ERROR will appear and the oven will shut off.
Water load cooking test
WARNING : The oven should be fully assembled before following procedure.
Make sure the oven has been plugged in at least two minutes before checking sensor cook operation.
The cabinet should be installed and screws tightened.
(1) Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup.
(2) Place the container on the center of tray in the oven cavity.
(3) Close the door.
(4) Touch the CLOCK once, the POWER LEVEL pad twice, the START pad once, the number pad
1 once and the number pad 4 once. Now, the oven is in the sensor cooking condition, and "AH20",
"SENSOR" and "COOK" will appear in the display.
(5) The oven will operate for the first 16 seconds, without generating microwave energy.
NOTE: ERROR will appear if the door is opened or STOP/CLEAR pad is touched during first stage
of sensor cooking.
(6) After approximately 16 seconds, microwave energy is produced.
If ERROR is displayed or the oven does not turn off, replace the AH sensor or check the control unit,
refer to explanation below. If the oven stops after 5 minutes and ERROR is displayed, the AH sensor
is normal. Check other parts except the AH sensor.

ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY SENSOR CIRCUIT
(1) Structure of Absolute Humidity Sensor
The absolute humidity sensor includes two thermistors
as shown in the illustration. One thermistor is housed
in the closed vessel filled with dry air while another in
the open vessel. Each sensor is provided with the
protective cover made of metal mesh to be protected
from the external airflow.

Sensing part

(Closed vessel)
(2) Operational Principle of Absolute Humidity Sensor
The figure below shows the basic structure of an
absolute humidity sensor. A bridge circuit is formed by
two thermistors and two resistors (R1 and R2).
The output of the bridge circuit is to be amplified by the
operational amplifier.
Each thermistor is supplied with a current to keep it
heated at about 150˚C (302˚F), the resultant heat is
dissipated in the air and if the two thermistors are
placed in different humidity conditions they show
different degrees of heat conductivity leading to a
potential difference between them causing an output
voltage from the bridge circuit, the intensity of which is
increased as the absolute humidity of the air increases.
Since the output is very minute, it is amplified by the
operational amplifier.

Then the LSI observes that voltage at AIN5 terminal
and compares it with its initial value, and when the
comparison rate reaches the preset value (fixed for
each menu to be cooked), the LSI causes the unit to
stop sensor cooking; thereafter, the unit goes in the
next operation automatically.
When the LSI starts to detect the initial voltage at AIN5
terminal 16 seconds after the unit has been put in the
Sensor Cooking mode, if it is not possible to balance
the bridge circuit due to disconnection of the absolute
humidity sensor, ERROR will appear on the display
and the cooking is stopped.

(3) Detector Circuit of Absolute Humidity Sensor Circuit
This detector circuit is used to detect the output voltage
of the absolute humidity circuit to allow the LSI to
control sensor cooking of the unit. When the unit is set
in the sensor cooking mode, 16 seconds clearing cycle
occurs than the detector circuit starts to function and
the LSI observes the initial voltage available at its AIN5
terminal.
With this voltage given, the switches SW1 to SW5 in
the LSI are turned on in such a way as to change the
resistance values in parallel with R98 ~ R102. Changing
the resistance values results in that there is the same
potential at both F-3 terminal of the absolute humidity
sensor and AIN4 terminal of the LSI. The voltage of
AIN5 terminal will indicate about -2.5V. This initial
balancing is set up about 16 seconds after the unit is
put in the Sensor Cooking mode. As the sensor
cooking proceeds, the food is heated to generate
moisture by which the resistance balance of the bridge
circuit is deviated to increase the voltage available at
AIN5 terminal of the LSI.

1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components
This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the
circuits. When handling these parts, the following
precautions should be strictly followed. CMOS LSI
have extremely high impedance at its input and output
terminals. For this reason, it is easily influenced by the
surrounding high voltage power source, static electricity charge in clothes, etc. and sometimes it is not fully
protected by the built-in protection circuit.
In order to protect CMOS LSI.
1) When storing and transporting, thoroughly wrap them
in aluminium foil. Also wrap all PW boards containing
them in aluminium foil.
2) When soldering, ground the technician as shown in the
figure and use grounded soldering iron and work table.

For those models, check and repair all the controls
(sensor-related ones included) of the touch control
panel while keeping it connected to the oven.
B. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touch control panel and the oven proper is long enough
that they may be separated from each other. For those
models, therefore, it is possible to check and repair the
controls of the touch control panel while keeping it
apart from the oven proper; in this case you must short
both ends of the door sensing switch (on PWB) of the
touch control panel with a jumper, which brings about
an operational state that is equivalent to the oven door
being closed. As for the sensor-related controls of the
touch control panel, checking them is possible if dummy
resistor(s) with resistance equal to that of the controls
are used.
(2) Servicing the touch control panel with power supply
from an external power source:
Disconnect the touch control panel completely from
the oven proper, and short both ends of the door
sensing switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel,
which brings about an operational state that is
equivalent to the oven door being closed. Connect an
external power source to the power input terminal of
the touch control panel, then it is possible to check and
repair the controls of the touch control panel it is also
possible to check the sensor-related controls of the
touch control panel by using the dummy resistor(s).
3. Servicing of Touch Control Panel
We describe the procedures to permit servicing of the
touch control panel of the microwave oven and the
precautions you must take when doing so. To perform
the servicing, power to the touch control panel is
available either from the power line of the oven itself or
from an external power source.
(1) Servicing the touch control panel with power sup-
ply of the oven:
CAUTION:
THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN IS STILL LIVE DURING SERVICING PRESENTS A HAZARD.
Therefore, when checking the performance of the
touch control panel, put the outer cabinet on the oven
to avoid touching the high voltage transformer, or
unplug the primary terminal (connector) of the high
voltage transformer to turn it off; the end of such
connector must be insulated with an insulating tape.
After servicing, be sure to replace the leads to their
original locations.
A. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touch control panel and the oven itself is so short that
the two can’t be separated.
4. Servicing Tools
Tools required to service the touch control panel
assembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W
(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a
grounding terminal.)
2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC10MHz type or more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools
5. Other Precautions
1) Before turning on the power source of the control unit,
remove the aluminium foil applied for preventing static
electricity.
2) Connect the connectors of the key unit to the control
unit being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.
3) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that abnormal voltage due to static electricity etc. is not applied
to the input or output terminals.
4) Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to PWB,
making sure that all connections are tight.
5) Be sure to use specified components where high
precision is required.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT
After adjustment of door latch switches, monitor switch
and door are completed individually or collectively, the
following leakage test must be performed with a survey
instrument and it must be confirmed that the result meets
the requirements of the performance standard for microwave oven.
REQUIREMENT
The safety switch must prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of 5mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from
external surface of the oven.
PREPARATION FOR TESTING:
Before beginning the actual test for leakage, proceed as
follows;
1. Make sure that the test instrument is operating normally
as specified in its instruction booklet.
Important:
Survey instruments that comply with the requirement
for instrumentations as prescribed by the performance
standard for microwave ovens must be used for testing.
3. Place the load of 275 ± 15ml of water initially at 20
± 5˚C in the centre of the oven tray. The water
container should be a low form of 600 ml beaker with
inside diameter of approx. 8.5cm and made of an
electrically non-conductive material such as glass
or plastic.
The placing of this standard load in the oven is important
not only to protect the oven, but also to insure that any
leakage is measured accurately.
4. Close the door and turn the oven ON with the timer set
for several minutes. If the water begins to boil before
the survey is completed, replace it with 275ml of cool
water.
5. Move the probe slowly (not faster that 2.5cm/sec.)
along the gap.
6. The microwave radiation emission should be measured
at any point of 5cm or more from the external surface
of the oven.
