3-2. EXPLANATION OF CIRCUITS
3-2-1. POWER CIRCUIT
Power circuits consist of SMPS (Switching Mode Power Supply) power, and the SMPS consists of the rectification part
(BD1, CE1) to convert AC voltage to DC voltage, the switching part (IC3) to switch the converted DC voltage, a transformer
to transfer energy of the primary side on the switching terminal, secondary side power to supply power to the MICOM and
IC and the feed back part (IC4, IC5) to feedback the secondary side voltage to the primary side of transformer in order to
maintain it uniformly.
Caution.: Take a measure after more than 3 minutes have passed after removing the power cords in abnormal operation of
circuits since high voltage (DC310V) is maintained at the power terminal. Otherwise, it may cause electric shock.
Voltage of each part is as follows:
3-2-2. OSCILLATION CIRCUIT
Oscillation circuits are intended to generate clock for
synchronization for information transmission/receipt of logic
elements inside of the IC1 (MICOM) and generate basic time for
time calculation. Rated parts must be used since the OSC1 does
not operate or time calculated at the IC1 changes where SPEC
changes.
3-2-3. RESET CIRCUIT
The reset circuits are intended so that the whole of function is
started at the initial status by initializing various parts such as ram
inside of the MICOM (IC1) when power is applied to MICOM
again in input of initial power or by temporary power failure.
“LOW”voltage is applied to the reset terminal of MICOM for the
fixed time (10ms) at the start of power input.
During general operation, the reset terminal is at 5V (No MICOM
operates in case of poor reset IC).

3-2-7. TEMPERATURE SENSING CIRCUIT
1.Temperature adjustment at the lower compartment consists of the circuit part for driving the damper, as electronic single
motor damper, to open or close the baffle and the reed switch part to detect open/close status of the damper.
2. Drives the motor, and if there is no status change of the reed switch within 2 minutes, determines it as failure and displays
as failure (See 3-1-11. Failure Diagnosis Function).
3. Rotates once for 15 seconds irrespective of temperature to detect damper status in input of initial power (initial drive
inspection).
4. Open/Close of the damper, status of the reed switch and No.1 pin input of the IC1 (MICOM) are as follows:
<SINGLE MOTOR DAMPER>
uThe above time is time until the single motor stops after status change of the reed switch.

3-2-8. STEPPING MOTOR DAMPER DRIVE CIRCUIT (FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL AT MIDDLE COMPARTMENT)
As for motor drive, the motor rotates since rotation magnetic force is formed at coils wound around each phase of the motor
and the stator if outputting “High”“Low”signal as much as the fixed step numbers through the MICOM pin 51 and pin 52
after applying “High”signal to the IC 12 (TA777AP) from the MICOM pin 53.
Explanation) For driving method of the motor, send signal in the cycle of 3.33ms by using the terminal of the MICOM PIN53,
52 and 51 as shown in waveform of each part below. This signal is output to the output terminal No.10, 11, 14,
15 via the input terminal No.3, 6, 8 of the IC12 (TA7774P) as IC for motor drive. The motor rotates by which
motor coils wound around each phase of the stator forms rotation magnetic field. The stepping motor damper
rotates by which motor coils wound around each phase of the stator forms rotation magnetic field if inputting as
figure to the input part (No.3 INA, No.6 INB) of the IC12 (TA7774P) for motor drive.
