R-930AK-F R-930AW-F

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

A. Requirements:

1) Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit): The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave oven should not exceed 1mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to acquisition by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.

2) Safety interlock switches Primary interlock relay and door sensing switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of the requirement as above mentioned, secondary interlock switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.

B. Preparation for testing: Before beginning the actual measurement of leakage, proceed as follows:

1) Make sure that the actual instrument is operating normally as specified in its instruction booklet.

Important: Survey instruments that comply with the requirement for instrumentation as prescribed by the performance standard for microwave ovens, 21 CFR 1030.10(c)(3)(i), must be used for testing.

2) Place the oven tray in the oven cavity.

3) Place the load of 275±15 ml (9.8 oz) of tap water initially at 20±5˚C (68˚F) in the center of the oven cavity. The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml (20 oz) beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2 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) Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode.

5) Close the door and select a cook cycle of several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the survey is completed, replace it with 275 ml of cool water.

C. 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. (2.5 cm/sec.) along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on the meter.

3) Check for leakage at the door screen, sheet metal seams and other accessible positions where the continuity of the metal has been breached (eg., around the 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 highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm2, and that the secondary interlock switch does turn the oven OFF before any door movement.

NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.

OPERATION

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE

The following is a description of component functions during oven operation.

OFF CONDITION

Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch. (In this condition, the monitor switch contacts are opened.) When oven is plugged in, 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the noise filter and the control unit. (Figure O-1).

1. The display will show "SHARP SIMPLY THE BEST PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK". To set any program or set the clock, you must first touch the STOP/CLEAR pad. The display will clear, and " : " will appear.

NOTE: When the door is opened, the oven lamp comes on.

2. A signal is input to the control unit, energizing the coil of shutoff relay (RY-4). RY4 contacts close, completing a circuit to the damper motor. The damper motor now operates moving the damper to the open position, thereby closing the contacts of the damper switch inputs a signal to the control unit. The coil of relay RY-4 is de-energized, opening its contacts, thereby turning off the damper motor.

COOKING CONDITION

Program desired cooking time Variable Cooking Control by touching the NUMBER pads and the power level pad. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:

1. The contacts of relays are closed and components connected to the relays are turned on as follows. (For details, refer to Figure O-2)

RELAY CONNECTED COMPONENTS

RY-1 Oven lamp/Turntable motor

RY-2 Power transformer

RY-6 Fan motor

2. 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the power transformer and is converted to about 3 volts A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately 2360 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding.

3. The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron filament and the H.V. winding voltage is sent to a voltage doubler circuit.

4. The microwave energy produced by the magnetron is channelled through the waveguide into the cavity feed-box, and then into the cavity where the food is placed to be cooked.

5. Upon completion of the cooking time, the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off, and the generation of microwave energy is stopped. The oven will revert to the OFF condition.

6. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, monitor switch, door sensing switch, the primary interlock relay and the secondary interlock switch are activated with the following results. The circuits to the turntable motor, the cooling fan motor, and the high voltage components are de-energized, the oven lamp remains on, and the digital read-out displays the time still remaining in the cook cycle when the door was opened.

7. The monitor switch is electrically monitoring the operation of the primary interlock relay and the secondary interlock switch and is mechanically associated with the door so that it will function in the following sequence.

(1) When the door opens from a closed position, the primary

interlock relay and the secondary interlock switch open their contacts, and then the monitor switch contacts close.

(2) When the door is closed from the open position, the monitor

switch contacts first open, and then the contacts of the primary interlock relay and the secondary interlock switch close.

If the primary interlock relay and the secondary interlock switch fail with their contacts closed when the door is opened, the closing of the monitor switch contacts will form a short circuit through the monitor fuse, primary interlock relay and the secondary interlock switch, causing the monitor fuse to blow.

POWER LEVEL P-0 TO P-90 COOKING

When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the power transformer intermittently through the contacts of relay (RY-2). RY-2 is operated by the control unit within an varying time base. Microwave power operation is as follows:

VARI-MODE ON TIME OFF TIME Power 10(P-HI) (100% power) 32 sec. 0 sec. Power 9(P-90) (approx. 90% power) 30 sec. 2 sec. Power 8(P-80) (approx. 80% power) 26 sec. 6 sec.

Power 7(P-70) (approx. 70% power) 24 sec. 8 sec. Power 6(P-60) (approx. 60% power) 22 sec. 10 sec. Power 5(P-50) (approx. 50% power) 18 sec. 14 sec. Power 4(P-40) (approx. 40% power) 16 sec. 16 sec. Power 3(P-30) (approx. 30% power) 12 sec. 20 sec. Power 2(P-20) (approx. 20% power) 8 sec. 24 sec. Power 1(P-10)(approx. 10% power) 6 sec. 26 sec. Power 0(P-0) (0% power) 0 sec. 32 sec.

Note: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with

the percentage of microwave power, because approx. 2 seconds are needed for heating of the magnetron filament.

CONVECTION COOKING CONDITION

PREHEATING CONDITION

Program desired convection temperature by touching the CONVECTION pad and the Temperature pad. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:

1. The coil of shut-off relays (RY1, RY3,RY5 and RY6) are energized, the oven lamp, cooling fan motor, turntable motor and convection motor are turned on.

2. The coil of relay (RY4) is energized by the control unit. The damper is moved to the closed position, opening the damper switch contacts. The opening of the damper switch contacts sends a signal to the LSI on the control unit de-energizing the relay (RY4) and opening the circuit to the damper motor.

3. The coil of heater relay (RY3) is energized by the control unit and the main supply voltage is applied to the heating element.

4. When the oven temperature reaches the selected preheat temperature, the following operations occur: 4-1 The heater relay is de-energized by the control unit

temperature circuit and thermistor, opening the circuit to the heating element.

4-2. The oven will continue to function for 30 minutes,

turning the heater on and off, as needed to maintain the selected preheat temperature. The oven will shutdown completely after 30 minutes

CONVECTION COOKING CONDITION

When the preheat temperature is reached, a beep signal will sound indicating that the holding temperature has been reached in the oven cavity. Open the door and place the food to be cooked in the oven. Touch the CONVEC pad first and then touch the Temperature pad. And program desired cooking time by touching the Number pads. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:

1. The numbers on the digital read-out start to count down to zero.

2. The oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and convection motor are energized.

3. Heater relay (RY3) is energized (if the cavity temperature is lower than the selected temperature) and the main supply voltage is applied to the heating element to return to the selected cooking temperature.

4. Upon completion of the cooking time, the audible signal will sound, and oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and convection motor are de-energized. At the end of the convection cycle, if the cavity air temperature is above 275˚F, the circuit to RY6 will be maintained (by the thermistor circuit) to continue operation of the cooling fan motor until the temperature drops below 245˚F, at which time the relay will be de-energized, turning off the fan motor. Relay RY5 will however, open as soon as the convection cycle has ended, turning off the convection fan motor.

5. At the end of the convection cook cycle, shut-off relay (RY4) is energized turning on the damper motor. The damper is returned to the open position, closing the damper switch contacts which send a signal to the control unit, de-energizing shut-off relay (RY4).

AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING CONDITION

Touch the HIGH MIX/ROAST or the LOW MIX/BAKE pad first. And then program desired cooking time by touching the Number pads. The LOW MIX/BAKE pad is preprogrammed for 350˚F with 10% microwave power, while the HIGH MIX/ROAST pad is preprogrammed for 300˚F with 30% microwave power. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:

1. The numbers on the digital read-out start to count down to zero.

2. The shut-off relays (RY1,RY2,RY3,RY5 and RY6) are energized, turning on the oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and convection fan motor.

3. The shut-off relay (RY4) is energized. The damper door is closed from the open position.

4. The heater relay (RY3) is energized, applying the main supply voltage to the heating element.

5. Now, the oven is in the convection cooking condition.

6. When the oven temperature reaches the selected temperature, the following operations occur: 6-1. The power supply voltage is alternated to the heating

element and power transformer.

6-2. The heating element operates through the heater relay

(RY3) contacts and the power transformer operates through the primary interlock relay (RY2) contacts.

6-3. These are operated by the control unit to supply

alternately within a 32 second time base, convection heat and microwave energy.

The relationship between the convection and microwave power operations are as follows.

Note: The ON and OFF time ratio does not correspond

with the percentage of microwave power, because approx. 2 seconds are needed for heating of the magnetron filament.

Note: During alternate Microwave/Convection operation,

the convection heater is energized only if the cavity temperature drops below the set temperature.

SENSOR COOKING CONDITION

Using the SENSOR COOK 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 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:

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.

R-930AK-F R-930AW-F

Cooking Sequence.

1. Touch SENSOR COOK pad.

NOTE: The oven should not be operated on SENSOR

COOK immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait two minutes before cooking on SENSOR COOK.

2. Select desired Sensor setting.

3. Touch START pad. The coil of shut-off relay (RY1, RY6) is energized, the oven lamp and cooling fan motor are turned on, but the power transformer is not turned on.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

COMPU BROIL/ COMPU ROAST/ COMPU BAKE

COMPU BROIL/ ROAST/ BAKE will automatically compute the oven temperature, microwave power and cooking time for baking, roasting and broiling. Set the desired program by touching the COMPU BROIL/ ROAST/ BAKE pad, and number pad. Enter the weight by touching the Number pads. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:

1. The COOK indicator will light and the Convection Fan Symbol will rotate.

2. The cooking time will appear on the display and start counting down to zero. The cooking time is adjusted automatically according to the weight of the food.

3. The shut-off relays (RY1, RY5 and RY6) are energized, turning on the oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and convection motor. The power supply voltage is applied to the heating element.

4. Now, the oven is in the convection cooking mode.

5. When the oven temperature has reached the programmed convection temperature, the oven goes into the programmed cooking mode.

6. At the end of the COMPU BROIL/ ROAST/ BAKE cycle, the damper is returned to the open position and the oven will go to the off condition. The cooling fan will remain on until the oven has cooled.

COMPU DEFROST COOKING

The COMPU DEFROST key is a special function key to defrost meats and poultry faster and better. COMPU DEFROST automatically defrosts roast beef, etc.. When the COMPU DEFROST is selected and the food weight is entered by using the COMPU DEFROST pad, the oven will cook according to the special cooking sequence.

FIRE SENSING FEATURE (MICROWAVE MODE)

This model incorporates a sensing feature which will stop the oven's operation if there is a fire in the oven cavity during microwave cooking. This is accomplished by the LSI repeatedly measuring the voltage across the temperature measurement circuit (thermistor) during it's 32-seconds time base comparing the obtained voltage measurements. If the most recent voltage measured is 300mV greater than the previous voltage measured, the LSI judges it as a fire in the oven cavity and switches off the relays to the power transformer, fan motor and convection motor. The LSI also stops counting down and closes the damper door so that no fresh air will enter the oven cavity. Please refer to the following section for a more detailed description.

Operation

Please refer to the timing diagrams below.

1. The thermistor operates within a 32-seconds time base and it is energized for three (3) seconds and off for 29 seconds. Two (2) seconds after the thermistor is energized, the voltage across the temperature measurement circuit is sampled by the LSI and twenty one (21) seconds after the thermistor is cut off the LSI turns on the cooling fan for six (6) seconds.

2. The above procedure is repeated. If the difference between the first voltage measured (in step 1) and the voltage measured when the procedure is repeated (step 2) is greater than 300mV the LSI makes the judgment that there is a fire in the oven cavity and will switch off the relays to the power transformer, fan motor and convection motor. The LSI also stops counting down and closes the damper door so that no fresh air will enter the oven cavity.

3. Once the fire sensor feature has shut the unit down, the programmed cooking cycle may be resumed by pressing the "START" pad or the unit may be reset by pressing the "CLEAR" pad.

DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS

DOOR SENSING AND SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCHES

The door sensing switch in the primary interlock system is mounted in the upper position on the latch hook, the secondary

interlock switch is mounted in the lower position on 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. A cook cycle cannot take place until the door is firmly closed thereby

R-930AK-F R-930AW-F

activating both interlock switches. The primary interlock system consists of the door sensing switch and primary interlock relay located on the control circuit board.

MONITOR SWITCH

The monitor switch is mounted on the middle position of latch hook. It is activated (the contacts opened) by the lower latch head 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.

Functions:

1. When the door is opened, the monitor switch contact close (to the ON condition) due to their being normally closed. At this time the door sensing and secondary interlock switches are in the OFF condition (contacts open) due to their being normally open contact switches.

2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch contacts are first opened and then the door sensing switch and the secondary interlock switch contacts close. (On opening the door, each of these switches operate inversely.)

3. If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay and secondary interlock switch contacts fail to open, the monitor fuse blows simultaneously with closing of the monitor switch contacts.

CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN MONITOR

FUSE TEST THE DOOR SENSING SWITCH, PRIMARY INTERLOCK RELAY, SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH AND MONITOR SWITCH FOR PROPER OPERATION. (REFER TO CHAPTER “TEST PROCEDURE”).

NOTE: MONITOR FUSE AND MONITOR SWITCH ARE

REPLACED AS AN ASSEMBLY.

THERMISTOR

The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type. The temperature in the oven cavity is detected through the resistance of the thermistor, and then the control unit causes the heater relay to operate, thus the current to the heating element is turned ON/OFF.

MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSE.

The temperature fuse located on the waveguide is designed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over heated condition develops in the magnetron due to cooling fan failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc.

Under normal operation, the temperature fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached within the magnetron, the temperature fuse will open at 302˚F(150˚C) causing the oven to shut down.

CONV. THERMAL CUT-OUT

The thermal cut-out located on the left side of the thermal protection plate (left) is designed to prevent damage to the heater unit if an over heated condition develops in the heating unit due to convection fan failure, thermistor failure, obstructed air ducts, dirty or blocked air intake, etc. Under normal operation, the thermal cut-out remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached within the heater unit, the thermal cut-out will open at 302˚F(150˚C) causing the oven to shut down. When the thermal cut-out has cooled, the thermal cut-out closes at 266˚F(130˚C).

HEATING ELEMENT

The heating element is located at the left side of the oven cavity. It is intended to heat air driven by the convection fan. The heated air is kept in the oven and force-circulated and reheated by the heating element.

NOISE FILER

The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference that might flow back in the power circuit. .

CONVECTION COOKING SYSTEM

This oven is designed with a hot air heating system where food

is not directly heated by the heating element, but is heated by forced circulation of the hot air produced by the heating element. The air heated by the heating element is circulated through the convection passage provided on the outer casing of the oven cavity by means of the convection fan which is driven by the convection motor. It then enters the inside of the oven through the vent holes provided on the left side of the oven. Next, the hot air heats the food on the turntable and leaves the oven cavity through the vent in the center of the oven cavity left side wall. Without leaving the oven, this hot air is reheated by the heating element, passes through the convection passage and enters the inside of the oven cavity again, in a continuing cycle. In this way, the hot air circulates inside the oven cavity to raise its temperature and, at the same time, comes into contact with the food being cooked. When the temperature inside the oven cavity reaches the selected temperature, the heating element is de-energized. When the temperature inside the oven cavity drops below the selected temperature, the heating element is energized again. In this way, the inside of the oven cavity is maintained at approximately the selected temperature. When the convection time reaches 0, the heating element is de-energized and the convection fan stops operating and the oven shuts off.

DAMPER OPEN-CLOSE MECHANISM

Usually, the damper is in the open position except during convection cooking. Damper position is set automatically by damper motor, damper switch, motor cam and damper shaft. These components are operated by a signal that judges if microwave cooking or convection cooking operation is selected by the control unit.

Microwave Cooking:

Damper is in the open position, because a portion of cooling air

DAMPER DUCT

DAMPER

DAMPER CAM

DAMPER MOTOR

DAMPER SWITCH

DAMPER SHAFT

R-930AW-F

is channelled through the cavity to remove steam and vapors given off from the heating foods. It is then exhausted at the top of the oven cavity into a condensation compartment.

Convection Cooking:

Damper is in the closed position, so that no hot air will be allowed to leak out the oven cavity.

Damper Operation

1. When power supply cord is plugged in: 1-1. When power supply cord is plugged in, a signal is

sensed in the control unit, and operates shut-off relay (RY4).

1-2. Contacts of shut-off relay (RY4) close, the damper

motor is energized, opening the damper door.

1-3. When the damper is moved to the open position by the

damper cam the damper switch is closed (ON position).

1-4. The signal from damper switch is re-sensed in the

control unit and shut-off relay (RY4) is turned off.

1-5. The 120 volts A.C. to the damper motor is removed

and the motor turns off.

2. When oven is microwave cooking: Damper is in the open position.

3. When oven is convection cooking: 3-1. Damper motor is energized by touching the convection,

temperature and START pads.

3-2. When damper is in the closed position (damper switch

is OFF), its signal is sensed by the control unit, and shut-off relay (RY4) is de-energized.

3-3. The damper is held in the closed position during the

convection cooking operation.

3-4. At the end of the convection cooking, shut-off relay

(RY4) is energized, and the damper is returned to the open position.

NOTE: If the damper door is not in the proper position,

closed during convection or open during microwave, the control unit will stop oven operation after 1 minute.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Never touch any part in the circuit with your hand or an uninsulated tool while the power supply is connected.

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 monitor fuse, check the monitor switch, relay (RY1) primary

interlock relay (RY2), door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch before replacing the monitor fuse. If the monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced. Use part FFS-BA021WRK0 as an assembly.

IMPORTANT: Whenever troubleshooting is performed with the power supply cord disconnected. It may in, some cases, be

necessary to connect the power supply cord after the outer case has been removed, in this event,

1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.

2. Open the door and block it open.

3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.

5. Ensure that the leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.

6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.

When the testing is completed

1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.

2. Open the door and block it open.

3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

6. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

7. Run the oven and check all functions.
