2.3 Developing Cook Settings and Programming
2.3.1 How to Develop your Cook Settings
Cooking with a TurboChef oven is different and exciting! It delivers hot food faster, at a
higher quality than other ovens available today.
TurboChef uses both hot air and microwave energy to cook food. If you have
experience with either a convection oven or microwave oven you will see similarities
and significant differences. The key to creating good cook settings for your food is to
understand the following rules of thumb. When you get a list of cook settings you are
happy with, write them down and store the list in a safe place.
1. TurboChef uses a moving shroud of hot air to surround the food. This locks in the
food’s moisture.
2. The hot air provides coloring and crispness of most foods. The higher the air
velocity, the faster heat energy is transferred to the exterior surface of the food.
3. The microwave provides heat to the center of the food. Don’t try to do all the
cooking with microwave!
4. The weight of food determines the total time required to cook. The more weight, the
longer the time required. (Most medium thick crust pizzas cook in about 100
seconds.)
5. Be careful to balance the use of microwave on thick or frozen products. A tendency
will develop to overcook the edges before reaching the desired internal temperature.
6. Microwave seems to work best in the early stages of cooking, then use hot air to
finish the cooking. Although a continuous lower level of microwave is beneficial for
thick or frozen foods.
7. Color seems to develop mostly at the end of the cooking cycle. Higher velocity air in
the later stages of cooking will strongly control the food’s color.
Don’t be afraid to experiment! Write down your current cook settings and then start
testing. You can always go back to the old cook settings in a few seconds. Enjoy the
power and flexibility of your TurboChef System.

4.4 Blower Motor Controller Defective Messages
4.4.1 FaultCodes
The SP500 controllerrequires only minor troubleshooting if a fault should occur. The
controller displays fault (ERR) codes which assist in troubleshooting ifa fault should
occur. If a fault condition occurs while the drive is running, (LED 7 on), the drive will
coast to rest and a 2-digit fault code is flashed on the display.
The fault code is also entered into the error log. The error log isdesignated as “ERR”
on the display.
4.4.2 How to Access and Read the Error Log
Fault codes are entered into the error log in sequential order if more than 1 fault should
occur. The first error to occur will be flashed on the displayand two more errors may
be logged into the error log. (The error log must be accessed to see them). After three
faults have occurred, no more subsequent faults will be entered into the error log.
The faults entered into the error log are numbered sequentially. If first an overcurrent
fault were to occur, it would be in the error log as "1=OC". If next a thermal overload
fault were to occur (and the first error was not yet cleared), it would be in the error log
as "2=OL", and so on.
The last fault to occur will appear first when accessing the error log. For example, if the
last fault was a low bus fault, and the error log has 3 entries, then the error log would
display "3=LU" when the error log is first accessed.
Faults are retentive to the error log if a power loss occurs. The entire error log can be
cleared by pressing the STOP/RESET button.
* To access the error log:
1. Enter MAINTenance mode on the oven. (Press MAINTenance, enter access code, then press
ENTER.)
2. Enter the Program Mode on the SP500 controller. (Press the MODE/ENTER key.)
3. If the display shows "F-00", use the down arrow key to move directly to "Err". Either the up or down
arrow key can be used to move through the function list.
4. Press the MODE/ENTER key. (If “ERR” is still displayed, no errors are stored in log.)
5. Press the up arrow key to move through the error codes.
6. Press the STOP/RESET key to clear faults. Refer to 4.4.3.

4.6 Heat Exchanger
The Heatercoreconsists of18 tubular heating elements, which are divided into
sections dependingon the model or configuration of the oven. Each individual heater is
rated 450 watts @ 240 VAC. Power input terminals H2 and H3 (Buss bars) are in series
with the oven Over-temperature ThermostaticSwitch, OT1. The Over-temperature
Switch senses the rearexteriorsurface of the Heat Exchanger and opens when the
rear surface of the Heat Exchangerexceeds 600°F (315°C), limiting themaximum fault
temperature of the heat exchanger. (This corresponds to a Heat Exchanger
temperature of approximately 720°F (382°C)). Two Thermocouples are used for oven
temperature control, one measures the Heat Exchanger Core Temperature, HX, and
the other measures the Air Temperature entering the Cook Chamber, CC.
The Heat Exchanger is used to:
1. Store energy (heat).
2. Provide Thermal uniformity (within the oven).
3. Provide Rapid heating of the Convection (cooking mode) Air.
How to Manually Turn Heaters On:
1. Turn oven on.
2. Press MAINTenance key (MAINT).
3. Enter access code.
4. Press ENTER key.
5. Press the HTR key to alternately turn the heater elements on and off.
Note: LED's 11 and 16 will come on when the heater elements are on. (LED 11 not
used in early "B" version ovens).
CAUTION: DO NOT leave the heaters on for long periods, as the oven will rapidly
heat to maximum allowed temperature (approximately 720°°°°F (382°°°°C)).

in the cooking chamber. A suitable microwave load is 275 ml (9.3 oz) of cold
water.
With the oven in the normal “ON” state:
1.Press MAINTenance key.
2.Enter access code.
3. Press ENTER.
4.Magnetron 1: Press and hold (M1) key. Verify LED 14 (M1) illuminates on the oven
keypad.
5. Magnetron 2: Press and hold (M2) key. Verify LED 15 (M2) illuminates on the oven
keypad.
6. Both Magnetrons (M12): Press and hold (M12) key. Verify LED 14 (M1) & LED15
(M2) illuminate on the oven keypad LED display.
7. Press the STOP key to return to the normal mode from the maintenance mode.
Note: When energizing the magnetrons (M1), (M2) or (M12), check for fluctuation
of RF power on the oven display due to the stirrer blade motion causing the
microwave energy to move around in the cooking chamber. The RF power
indication should be varying significantly during operation. The RF indication is
sampled for 10 seconds. If the difference between the maximum sample and
minimum sample is less than 50 units during self-test or 20 units during cooking,
the error message “RF FLUC LOW” will be displayed.

5.5 Magnetron
The magnetrons emit RF energy that is coupled to the cook chamber via the waveguide
assembly. The RF energy generated by the magnetron occursat a frequency of 2450
MHz.
Caution:Do not attempt to measure the magnetron voltages with a typical voltmeter.
(Voltages are from 4000-4500 VDC.)
MAGNETRON
How to check a magnetron for open or shorted filaments:
1. Disconnect the ac power source and discharge the High Voltage Capacitors.
2. Isolate the magnetron from the circuit by removing the wires from the F and FA
terminals.
3. An ohmmeter connected between the filament terminals (F, FA) should indicate a
reading of less than 1 Ohm.
4. A continuity check between either filament terminal and the magnetron chassis should
indicate an infinite resistance (open).
TurboChef, Inc. 700-0655.DOC Rev B February 15, 1997 Page 37 of 62
5.6 High Voltage Magnetron Transformer
The high voltage magnetron transformer has a primary windingand two secondary
winding. The primary winding has 208-240 VAC applied from the line voltage circuit. The
secondaryfilament winding(4.6 VRMS@ 14 Amps) is connected to the filament in the
magnetron (F, FA terminals) to supply magnetron filament power. The secondary HV
Anode winding (2250 VPK @ 0.83 Amps) is doubled (converted to -4500 VDC @ 0.415
Amps) by the HV diode and capacitor and connected to one side (FA terminal) of the
filament. Note: Since the Magnetron Anode isgrounded, the anode to filament voltage
required is supplied by operating the filaments at a negative potential of 4500 VDC.
1. Disconnect the power source and discharge the capacitor.
2. Isolate the transformer from the circuit. (Wires are labeled but remember where they
go)
3. Check impedance of the primary and secondary windings. ( See above.)
4. Filament winding should read less than 0.1 ohms.
5. Reconnect wires.
TurboChef, Inc. 700-0655.DOC Rev B February 15, 1997 Page 38 of 62
5.7 High Voltage Diode
The High Voltage Diode is an assembly constructed byconnectingseveral 1000-1500
volt semiconductor diodes in series to increase the reverse voltage capability. In the
circuit, the highvoltage diode conducts to prevent the filament voltage from becoming
positive, thus as the highvoltage winding of the transformer goes to 2250 VPK, the
high voltage capacitor is charged to 2250 volts. When the highvoltage winding starts to
gotowardnegative, the High Voltage Diode becomes non-conducting with the charged
High Voltage Capacitor in series with the High Voltage Winding. When the transformer
gets to its negative peak of -2250 VPK, the voltage applied to the filament is negative
4500 volts.
HIGH VOLTAGE DIODE
How to check a diode:
Caution: Do not attempt to measure HV directly.
1. Disconnect the oven from the power source.
2. Isolate diode from circuit.
3. Connect the meter leads to the diode terminals.
4. Infinite resistance (open) should be indicated in the reverse direction.
5. Resistance readings in the forward direction may be indeterminate. *
6. If there is continuity in both directions (shorted diode)
7. If infinite resistance in both direction (open diode).*
* Due to the HV diode consisting of approximately 15 X 1000 volt diodes in series the
forward diode drop is approximately 9 volts. A normal low voltage ohmmeter will not
provide sufficient voltage in the resistance ranges to measure an impedance in the
forward direction of the High Voltage Diode.
5.8 High Voltage Capacitor
The High Voltage Capacitor is part of the voltage doubler which stores the transformer
peak voltage thus creating a voltage doubler to supply the magnetron with a pulsed 4500 volt dc anode voltage. The capacitor is either 1.05 µF for 60 Hz power or 1.2 µF
for 50 Hz power.
Caution: After removing the oven from power and prior to servicing the oven,
discharge the capacitor. Never assume the discharge resistor internal to the
capacitor has completely discharged the capacitor.
TurboChef, Inc. 700-0655.DOC Rev B February 15, 1997 Page 39 of 62
HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR
How to check a capacitor:
1. Disconnect the oven from the power source.
2. Isolate the capacitor from the circuit.
3. Fully discharge the capacitor.
4. Connect the ohmmeter between the capacitor terminals. The meter should
momentarily indicate a low impedance and then slowly return to infinite resistance.
5. Reverse the ohmmeter leads. Repeat step 4.
6. Check each terminal to case. Infinite resistance (open) should be indicated.
5.9 Microwave Mode Stirrer
The microwave mode stirrer and associated stirrer blade changes the modal pattern in
the cook chamber to reduce hot spots of microwave energy from occurring, thus
providing more even cooking. The stirrer motor is a 240 VAC synchronous motor that
turns at 7.2 rpm (6 rpm in 50 Hz units).
MICROWAVE MODE STIRRER ASSEMBLY

5.10Magnetron Over-Temperature Switch
The Magnetron Over-temperature Switch is designed to protect the magnetron from
overheating.Duringnormaloperation, the switch is closed . The over-temperature
switch opens when the magnetron case exceeds 212°F (100°C). Overheating may
occur due to a dirty or blocked Air Filter or a failed Magnetron Cooling Fan.
MAGNETRON OVER-TEMPERATURE SWITCH
5.11 RF Output Monitor Circuit
A RF sensor in the microwave waveguide assembly detects a portion of the radio
frequency (2450 MHz) energy emitted during the operation of the magnetron(s). A RF
Cable Assembly connects the RF Pickup to a SMA connector on the I/O Circuit Card
Assembly, CCA. On the I/O Circuit Card Assembly, the RF energy is detected and
amplified. The amplifier gain is controlled by R10 on the I/O CCA. The analog signal is
then routed via a flat cable to the Control CCA where it is digitized by the
microprocessor for control and display. Note: RF readings are displayed in
MAINTenance and Diagnostic displays. The readings, measured over a 10 second
period, must fluctuate a minimum of 50 units to pass self-test and 20 units to pass the
on-line tests (while cooking). The Mode Stirrer rotates once every 8.3 seconds (10
seconds for 50 Hz units).
RF OUTPUT MONITOR CIRCUIT
TurboChef, Inc. 700-0655.DOC Rev B February 15, 1997 Page 41 of 62
RF output monitor troubleshooting information:
1.Rf reading of 0.
a)Rf cable is bad, loose or disconnected. b) I/O CCA failure.
2.If fluctuations exist but are not fast enough (compared to 10 seconds) check for:
a)Defective stirrer motor. b)Microwave stir blade not turning due to loose setscrew or attaching screw.
3.If fluctuations exist but are low, check for:
a)Carbon or other trash covering Rf sensor in waveguide cavity. b) Bad Rf detector or amplifier on I/O CCA.
