OPERATION

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE

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

Sensor Cooking Condition

When using the Sensor Cooking function (Sensor Cook- ing , 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 micropro- cessor 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: s

1. Soup at room temperature

Vapor is emitted very slowly.

2. Heated Soup. Moisture and humidity is emitted rap- idly. You can smell the aroma as it cooks.

3. Sensor detects moisture and humidity and calcu- lates cooking time and variable power level.

Cooking Sequence

1. Touch REHEAT

.

Note:

The oven should not be operated in either mode immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait five minutes before cooking in sensor mode.

2 .

3 .

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.

After about 16 seconds, the cook relay (RY-2) is en- ergized. The power transformer is turned on, micro- wave 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 .

5 .

6 .

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.

When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds. The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-en- ergized and the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.

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-590BW

DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS

Cooling Fan Motor

The cooling fan motor drives a blade which draws exter- nal cool air. This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding the magnetron to cool the magne- tron. This air is channeled through the oven cavity to re- move 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 pro- duced by improper setting of cook time or failure of con- trol unit.

Under normal operation, the oven temperature fuse re- mains closed. However, when abnormally high temper- atures are reached within the oven cavity, the fuse will open at 144OC, 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 144OC, causing the oven to shut down.

Note:

This is a fuse and it does not reset.

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

I

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.

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 con- tacts close (to the ON condition) due to their being normally closed. At this time the primary interlock

2 . relay and secondary interlock switch are in the OFF condition (contacts open) due to their being normally open contacts.

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.

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.

Before replacing a blown monitor fuse, test the prima- 1 ry interlock relay, door sensing switch, monitor switch 1 and secondary interlock switch for proper operation.

SERVICING

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.

Before replacing a blown monitor fuse, test the door sensing switch, primary interlock relay, sec- ondary interlock switch and monitor switch for proper operation. (Refer to “Test Procedure” sec- tion.)

Whenever troubleshooting is performed, the power supply must be disconnected. In some cases it may be neces- sary to connect the power supply after the outer case cabinet has been removed. In this event,

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 leads to the primary of the power transformer.

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

6. After the above procedure install the outer case cabinet and 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 the high voltage capacitor.

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

5. Re-install the outer case (cabinet).

Magnetron Assembly Test

Component 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 1Q.

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:

1 .

2 .

3 .

4.

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 ther- mometer 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 38Oto 78OF (21 O to 42.6OC) rise in temperature. If the water temperatures are accurately mea- sured 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.

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 ohm- meter. 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 &I and the resistance of the high voltage coil should be approx- imately 1OOQ; the resistance of the filament coil should be less than IQ.

5 . Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

6 . Re-install the outercase cabinet.

Precautions for Handling Electronic

Components

SERVICING

the two can’t be separated. For those models, check and repair all the controls (sensor-related ones in- cluded) of the touch control panel while keeping it connected to the oven.

This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the cir- cuits. When handling these parts, the following precau- tions should be strictly followed:

CMOS LSI have extremely high impedance at its input and output terminals. For this reason, it is easily in- fluenced 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 ground- ing strap as shown in the figure and use a grounded soldering iron and work table.

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.

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 acti- vates 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 .

Servicing of Touch Control Panel

We describe the procedures to permit servicing of the touch control panel of the microwave oven and the pre- cautions you must take when doing.so.

To perform the servicing, power to the touch control pan- el is available either from the power line of the oven itself or from an external power source.

1. Soldering iron: 30W

(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a grounding terminal.)

2. Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range:

DC-1 OMHz type or more advanced model.

3. Hand tools.

Servicing The Touch Control Panel With

The Oven Power Supply Other Precautions

1. Before turning on the power source of the control unit, remove the aluminum foil applied for preventing static electricity.

The high voltage transformer of the microwave oven is still live during servicing and presents a hazard. 2. Connect the connector of the key unit to the control unit bein g sure that the lead wires are not twisted.

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.

3. After aluminum foil is removed, be careful that abnor- mal 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 pre- cision is required.

1. Onso lme models, the power supply co lrd between the touch control panel and the oven itself is so short that

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 air- flow. The open vessel cover has two small holes in it to allow moisture laden air from the oven cavity to surround

It.

Operational Principle of AH Sensor

the sensor cooking of the unit.

When the unit is set in the sensor cooking mode, 16 sec- onds later the detector circuit starts to function and the

LSI observes the initial voltage available at its AN1 ter- minal. 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 R56-60 of IC4.

Changing the resistance values results in that there is the same potential at both the F-3 terminal of the abso- lute humidity sensor and the AN5 terminal of the LSI.

The voltage of AN6 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 AN6 terminal of the LSI. Then the LSI observes that voltage at AN6 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 in to the next operation automatically.

When the LSI starts to detect the initial voltage at AN6 terminal 16 seconds after the unit has been put in the

Sensor Cooking mode, if it is impossible to take a bal- ance of the bridge circuit due to disconnection of the ab- solute humidity sensor, ERROR will reappear on the dis- play and cooking is stopped.

. .

I

The figure below shows the basic structure of an abso- lute humidity sensor. A bridge circuit is formed by two thermistors and two resistors (Rl and R2).

The output of the bridge circuit is amplified by an opera- tional 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 conduc- tivity leading to a potential difference between them causing an output voltage from the bridge circuit, the in- tensity of which is increased as the absolute humidity of the air increases. Since the output is very minute, it is f: amplified by the operationa’ amplifier.

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.

Requirements

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

2 . Place the oven tray in the oven cavity. After adjustment of the door, interlock and monitor switches are completed individually or collectively, a IN-

TERLOCK SWITCH TEST and MICROWAVE LEAK-

AGE TEST must be performed to assure compliance with DHHS (CDRH) Performance Standards for Micro- wave Ovens.

Interlock Switch Test

Microwave Leakage Test

3 . Place the load of 275 & 15ml(9.8 oz.) of tap water ini- tially at 20 + 5°C (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 noncon- ductive material such as glass or plastic.

The placing of this standard load in the oven is impor- tant not only to protect the oven, but also to insure that any leakage is measured accurately.

4 . Set the cooking control on High.

5 . Close the door and 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 wa- ter.

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)

5mWcm* at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.

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 maxi- mum indication of the meter.

2 . Safety interlock switches.

Primary interlock relay and door sensing switch will prevent microwave radiation emissions in excess of 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 external surface of the oven.

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 per- mitted by the closed latch assembly.

Preparation For Testing

Before beginning the actual measurement of leakage, proceed as follows:

1. Make sure that the actual instrument is operating nor- mally as specified in its instruction booklet.

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 o and microwave leakage report service invoice
