CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION GENERAL DETAILS power of oven as POWER LEVEL. (refer to page 1-1) • One complete cycle of relay 4 is 32 seconds. • The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary voltage to the micom controller when power cord is WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED DURING plugged in.
SERVICE INFORMATION TOOLS AND MEASURING INSTRUMENTS NECESSARY TOOLS NECESSARY MEASURING INSTRUMENTS Tools normally used for TV servicing are sufficient. • TESTER(VOLTS-DC, AC., Ohmmeter) Standard tools are listed below. • Microwave survey meter • Diagonal pliers - Holaday HI-1500 • Long nose pliers HI-1501 •...
MEASUREMENT WITH OUTER CASE NOTES WHEN MEASURING REMOVED • Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. • The test probe must be removed no faster than • When you replace the magnetron, measure for 1 inch/sec (2.5 cm/sec) along the shaded area, microwave energy leakage before the outer case is otherwise a false reading may result.
MEASUREMENT OF MICROWAVE POWER OUTPUT • Microwave power output measurement is made with • The microwave power output P in watts is calculated the oven supplied at its rated voltage and operated from the following formula : at its maximum microwave power setting with a load 4187 x (∆T) + 0.55 X (T )X M...
