CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION GENERAL DETAILS • A high voltage of approximately 2100 volts AC is • The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary generated in the secondary of the high voltage voltage to the micom controller when power cord is transformer which is increased by the action of the high 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 •...
PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION TRIAL OPERATION (Figure 2) After installation, the following sequences and results A. Plug the power supply cord into a 250 V AC, 50 Hz, should be checked carefully. single-phase power source with a capacity of at Microwave Oven least 10 amperes.
MEASUREMENT WITH OUTER CASE • Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the values prescribed below. REMOVED NOTE: Leakage with the outer case removed less than 5 • When you replace the magnetron, measure for microwave mW/cm.sq. Leakage for a fully assembled oven energy leakage before the outer case is installed and after (Before the latch switch (primary) is interrupted) with all necessary components are replaced or adjusted.
