OPERATION
Description of Operating Sequence
The following is a description of component functions
during oven operation:
interlock relay and is mechanically associated with
the door so that it functions as follows:
Off Condition
Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and
secondary interlock switch. In this condition, the monitor switch contacts are opened. When the oven is
plugged in, 120 volts AC is supplied to the control unit
(see schematic diagram). The display flashes 88:88. To
set any program or set the clock, first touch the STOP/ CLEAR pad. The display clears and “ : ” appears and the
control unit counts every minute.
Cooking Condition
Program desired cooking time and Variable Cooking
Control by touching the NUMBER pads and the Power
Level pad of the Variable Cooking Control. When
START is touched, the following operations occur:
1.
The relay contacts are closed and components connected to the relays (RY-1 and RY-2) are turned on.
(For details, see table below.)
Relay Components
RY-1
RY-2 Power Transformer
2.
120 volts AC is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer and is converted to approximate-
ly 3.4 volts AC on the filament winding and approximately 2400 volts AC on the high voltage winding.
3.
The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron
filament and the high voltage is sent to a voltage dou-
bler circuit.
4.
The microwave energy produced by the magnetron
is channeled through the waveguide into the cavity
feed-box and into the cavity where the food is
cooked.
5.
Upon completion of the cooking cycle, the power
transformer, oven lamp and cooling fan are turned off
and the generation of microwave energy is termi-
nated.
6.
When the door is opened during a cook cycle, the
monitor switch, door sensing switch, secondary interlock switch and primary interlock relay are activated with the following results. The turntable motor,
cooling fan motor and the high voltage components
are de-energized. The oven lamp remains on and
the digital readout displays the time still remaining in
the cook cycle when the door was opened.
7.
The monitor switch is electrically monitoring the op-
eration of the secondary interlock switch and primary
Oven Lamp/Turntable Motor/Fan Motor
a.
When the door opens from a closed position, the
( 1
secondary interlock switch and primary interlock
relay open their contacts, then the monitor switch
contacts close.
.
When the door is closed from the open position,
(b)
the monitor switch contacts first open and the
contacts of the secondary interlock switch close.
If the secondary interlock switch and the primary inter-
lock relay contacts are closed when the door is opened,
the monitor switch contacts form a short circuit through
the monitor fuse, secondary interlock switch and prima-
ry interlock relay causing the monitor fuse to blow.
Power Level P-O to P-90 Cooking
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, 120
volts AC is supplied to the power transformer intermittently through the contacts of relay RY-2 which is operated by the control unit within a 32 second time base. Microwave power operation is as follows:
Vari-Mode
P - HI (HIGH)
(100% power)
P - 90
(approx. 90% power)
P - 80
(approx. 80% power)
P - 70 (MED, HIGH)
(approx. 70% power)
P - 60
(approx. 60% power)
P - 50 (MED)
(approx. 50% power)
P - 40
(approx. 40% power)
P - 30 (MED, LOW)
(approx. 30 % power)
P - 20
(approx. 20% power)
P-IO
(approx. 10% power)
P-O
(0% power)
The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the
percentage of microwave power, because approximate-
ly 2 seconds are needed for heating the magnetron fila-
ment.

Sensor Cooking Condition
When using the REHEAT function, the foods are cooked
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 the 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 ex-
periment with each food category and is inputted into the
LSI.
The following is an example of how the AH Sensor
Works:
3. Sensor detects moisture and humidity and calculates cooking time and variable power level.
Cooking Sequence
1. Touch REHEAT pad.
Note: The oven should not be operated in either mode
immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait five
minutes before cooking in sensor mode.
1. Potatoes at room temperature
Vapor is emitted very slowly.
2. Heated potatoes. Moisture and humidity is emitted
rapidly. You can smell the aroma as it cooks.
2.
The coil to the shut off relay (RY-1) is energized, the
oven lamp, turntable motor and cooling fan motor are
turned on and the power transformer remains off.
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 cooking is
started.
Note: The 16 second delay is for cooling time required
to remove any vapor from the oven cavity and
sensor. During this first stage, do not open the
oven door or touch the STOP/CLEAR pad.
4.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the display switches over the remaining cook-
ing 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.
By opening the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR
pad, the time of day will re-appear on the display and
the oven will revert to an OFF condition.

R-530BW
DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
Cooling Fan Motor
The cooling fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air. This cool air is directed through the air
vanes surrounding the magnetron to cool the magnetron. This air is channeled through the oven cavity to remove steam and vapors given off from the heating
foods. It is then exhausted through exhaust vents in the
oven cavity.
Oven Temperature Fuse
The oven temperature fuse located on the top of the
oven cavity is designed to prevent damage to the unit 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 temperature fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached within the oven cavity, the fuse will
open at 152OC, causing the oven to shut down.
Note: This is a fuse and it does not reset.
Magnetron Temperature Fuse
The magnetron temperature fuse located on top of the
magnetron duct is designed to prevent damage to the
magnetron if an over heated condition develops in the
tube due to cooling fan failure, obstructed air ducts, dirty
or blocked air intake, etc.
Under normal operation, the magnetron temperature
fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high
temperatures are reached within the magnetron the
fuse will open at 121 OC, causing the oven to shut down.
Note: This is a fuse and it does not reset.
Monitor Switch
The monitor switch is activated (the contacts opened) by
the latch head on the door while the door is closed. The
switch is intended to render the oven inoperative by
means of blowing the monitor fuse when the contacts of
the primary interlock relay and secondary interlock
switch fail to open when the door is opened.
Monitor Switch Functions
1.
When the door is opened, the monitor switch contacts close (to the ON condition) due to their being
normally closed. At this time the primary interlock
relay and secondary interlock switch are in the OFF
condition (contacts open) due to their being normally
open contacts.
2.
When the door is closed, the monitor switch contacts
are first opened and then the door sensing switch
and the secondary interlock switch contacts close.
Note: When opening the door, each of these
switches operate inversely.
If the door is opened and the primary interlock relay
3.
and secondary interlock switch contacts fail to open,
the monitor fuse blows simultaneously with closing
of the monitor switch contacts.
Before replacing a blown monitor fuse, test
ry interlock relay, door sensing switch, monitor switch
and secondary interlock switch for proper operation.
(Refer to section “Test Procedures”.)
Door Open Mechanism
The door is opened by pushing the open button on the
control panel.
When the open button is pushed, the open button
pushes up the switch lever, and then the switch lever
pushes up the latch heads.
The latch heads are moved upward and released from
the latch hook. Now the door will open.
Door Sensing / Secondary Interlock
Switches
The secondary interlock switch is mounted in the lower
position of the latch hook and the door sensing switch in
the primary interlock system is mounted in the upper
position of the latch hook. They are activated by the
latch heads on the door. When the door is opened, the
switches interrupt the circuit to all components, except
the oven lamp. A cook cycle cannot take place until the
door is firmly closed thereby activating both interlock
switches. The primary interlock system consists of the
door sensing switch and the primary interlock relay lo-
cated on the control panel circuit board.

Magnetron Assembly Test
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outercase cabinet.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor.
4. To test for an open filament, isolate the magnetron from the high voltage circuit. A continuity check
across the magnetron filament leads should indicate less than IQ.
5. To test for a shorted magnetron, connect the ohmmeter leads between the magnetron filament
leads and chassis ground. This test should indicate an infinite resistance. If there is little or no
resistance, the magnetron is grounded (shorted) and must be replaced.
6. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
7. Re-install the outercase cabinet.
8. Reconnect the power supply cord after installing the outer case cabinet.
9. Run the oven and check all functions.
MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembeled
condition (outer case fitted).
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT DURING THE COOK CYCLE, SO EXTREME CAUTION
SHOULD BE OBSERVED
Power output of the magnetron can be measured by performing a water temperature rise test. This
test should only be used if above tests do not indicate a faulty magnetron and there is no defect in
the following components or wiring: high voltage rectifier, high voltage capacitor and power trans-
former. This test will require a 16 oz. (453~~) measuring cup and an accurate mercury thermometer
or thermocouple type temperature tester. For accurate results, the following procedure must be fol-
lowed:
Fill the measuring cup with 16 oz. (453~~) of tap water and measure the temperature of the water
with a thermometer or thermocouple temperature tester. Stir the thermometer or thermocouple
through the water until the temperature stabilizes. Record the temperature of the water.
Place the cup of water in the oven. Operate oven on HIGH selecting 62 seconds cook time. Allow
the water to heat.
Remove the cup from the oven and again measure the temperature, making sure to stir the thermometer or thermocouple through the water until the maximum temperature is recorded.
Subtract the cold water temperature from the hot water temperature. The normal result should
be 38” to 78°F (21 O to 42.6OC) rise in temperature. If the water temperatures are accurately measured and are tested for the required time period the test results will indicate if the magnetron tube
has low power output (low rise in water temperature) which would extend cooking time or high
power output (high rise in water temperature) which would reduce cook time. Because cooking
time can be adjusted to compensate for power output, the magnetron tube assembly should be
replaced only if the water temperature rise test indicates a power output well beyond the normal
limits. The test is only accurate if the power supply line voltage is 120 volts and the oven cavity
is clean.
B
.
Power Transformer
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case cabinet.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect the primary input terminals and measure the resistance of the transformer with an ohmmeter. Check for continuity of the coils with an ohmmeter. On the R X 1 scale, the resistance of
the primary coil should be less than 1 IR and the resistance of the high voltage coil should be approximately IOOQ; the resistance of the filament coil should be less than 1 Q.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Re-install the outercase cabinet.
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after installing the outer case cabinet.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
Note: High voltages are present at the high voltage terminal, so do not attempt to measure the fila-

AH Sensor Test
Checking the initial sensor cooking condition
1. The oven should be plugged in at least five minutes before sensor cooking.
2. Room temperature should not exceed 95” F (35” C).
3. The unit should not be installed in any areas where heat and steam are generated. The unit should
not be installed, for example, next to a conventional surface unit.
4. Exhaust vents are provided on the bottom 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 mois-
ture 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 off by the spray and turn off before the 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.

SERVICING
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 surrounding high voltage power sources,
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, practice the following
guidelines:
1. When storing and transporting LSI, thoroughly wrap
them in aluminum foil.
Also wrap all PW boards in aluminum foil.
2. When soldering, the technician should use a grounding strap as shown in the figure and use a grounded
soldering iron and work table.

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.
Servicing The Touch Control Panel With
The Oven Power Supply
The high voltage transformer of the microwave oven
is still live during servicing and presents a hazard.
When checking the performance of the touch control
panel, put the outer cabinet on the oven to avoid touch-
ing 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 re-
connect the leads to their original locations.
1. On some models, the power supply co
touch control panel and the oven itself is so short that

the two can’t be separated. 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.
2
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.
Servicing The Touch Control Panel With An
External Power Supply
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 activates 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 sen-
sor-related controls of the touch control panel by using
the dummy resistor (s).
Servicing Tools
Tools required to service the touch control panel assem-
bly.
1. Soldering iron: 30W
(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a
grounding terminal.)
2. Oscilloscope: Single beam,
DC-IOMHz type or more advanced model.
3. Hand tools.
frequency range:
Other Precautions
1.
Before turning on the power source of the control unit,
remove the aluminum foil applied for preventing static
electricity.
2.
Connect the connector of the key unit to the control
unit being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.
3.
After aluminum 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.

Note: The door on a microwave oven is designed to
act as an electronic seal preventing the leakage of microwave energy from the oven cavity during the cooking cycle. This function does not require that the door
be air tight, moisture tight, or light tight. Therefore, the
occasional appearance of moisture, light or sensing
of gentle warm air movement around the oven door
is not abnormal and does not indicate leakage of microwave energy from the cavity.

ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY SENSOR CIRCUIT
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 is in an
open vessel. Each sensor is provided with a protective
cover made of metal to protect it from the external airflow. The open vessel cover has two small holes in it to
allow moisture laden air from the oven cavity to surround
it.
Sensing part
ventilation openings for sensing
(Open vessel)
Operational Principle of AH Sensor
The figure below shows the basic structure of an abso-
lute humidity sensor. A bridge circuit is formed by two
thermistors and two resistors (RI and R2).
The output of the bridge circuit is amplified by an operational amplifier.
Each thermistor is supplied with a current to keep it
heated to about 150” C (302” F) and the resultant heat
is dissipated in the air, if the two thermistors are placed
in different humidity conditions they show different hu-
midity conditions and 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.

the sensor cooking of the unit.
When the unit is set in the sensor cooking mode, 16 seconds later the detector circuit starts to function and the
LSI observes the initial voltage available at its AN1 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 R107-RI11 of IC2.
Changing the resistance values results in that there is
the same potential at both the F-3 terminal of the absolute humidity sensor and the AN0 terminal of the LSI.
The voltage of AN1 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 the AN1 terminal of the LSI. Then the LSI
observes that voltage at AN1 terminal and compares it
with its initial value. When the comparison rate reaches
the preset value (fixed for each menu to be cooked), the
LSI caused the unit to stop sensor cooking; thereafter,
the unit goes into the next operation automatically.
When the LSI starts to detect the initial voltage at AN1
terminal 16 seconds after the unit has been put in the
Sensor Cooking mode, if it is impossible to take a balance of the bridge circuit due to disconnection of the absolute humidity sensor, ERROR will reappear on the dis-
play and cooking is stopped.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
After adjustment of the door, interlock and monitor
switches are completed individually or collectively, a INTERLOCK SWITCH TEST and MICROWAVE LEAKAGE TEST must be performed to assure compliance
with DHHS (CDRH) Performance Standards for Microwave Ovens.
Interlock Switch Test
Make sure that the door sensing switch, secondary in-
terlock switch and monitor switch are operating properly
by checking with an ohmmeter.
Refer to the “Test Procedure” of the door sensing switch,
secondary interlock switch and monitor switch.
Microwave Leakage Test
Requirements
1. Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit).
The power density of microwave radiation emitted by
a microwave oven shall not exceed 1 mW/cm* at any
point 5cm or more from the external surface of the
oven, measured prior to acquisition by the purchaser,
and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven)
5mW/cm* at any point 5cm or more from the external
surface of the oven.
I
Safety interlock switches.
2.
Primary interlock relay and door sensing switch will
prevent microwave radiation emissions in excess of
I
the requirement as above mentioned, secondary
interlock switch shall prevent microwave radiation
emission in excess of 5 mW/cm* at any point 5cm
or more from the externa surface of the oven.
Preparation For Testing
Before beginning the actua
proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the actual
mally as specified in its instruction booklet.
mea ,surement of leakage,
il 7stru ment is operating nor-
R-530BK
R-530BW
2. Place the oven tray in the oven cavity.
3. Place the load of 275 Z!I 15ml(9.8 oz.) of tap water initially at 20 & 5OC (68’F) in the center of the oven cav-
ity.
The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml (20
oz.) beaker with an inside diameter of approximately
8.5 cm (3 % in.) and made of an electrically nonconductive 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 5 .
Set the cooking control on High.
d. Close the doorand put the oven into a cook cycle for
several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the
survey is completed, replace it with 275ml of cool water.
Leakage Test
Closed-door leakage test (microwave measurement).
1.
Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it
perpendicular to the gap between the door and the
body of the oven.
2.
Move the probe slowly, not faster than 1 in./sec
(2.5cm/sec.) along the gap, watching for the maximum indication of the meter.
3.
Check for leakage at the door screen, sheet metal
seams and other accessible positions where the con-
tinuity of the metal has been breached (eg., around
switches, indicator and vents).
While testing for leakage around the door pull the
door away from the front of the oven as far as is permitted by the closed latch assembly.
4
Measure carefully at the point of the highest leakage
and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater
than 4 mW/cm* to allow for measurement uncertainty,
and that the secondary interlock switch does turn the
oven OFF before any-door movement.
Note: Survey instruments that comply with the require-
ment for instrumentation 21 CFRI 030.1 O(c)(3)(i),
as prescribed by the performance standard for
microwave ovens must be used for testing.
Note: After servicing, record data on service invoice
and microwave leakage report.
