SERVICING
As for the sensor-related controls of the touch
control panel, checking them is possible if the
dummy resistor(s) with resistance equal to that
of the controls are used.
(2) Servicing the touch control panel with power
supply from an external power source:
Disconnectthetouchcontrolpanelcompletelyfrom
the oven proper, and short both ends of the door
sensingswitch(onPWB)ofthetouchcontrolpanel,
which brings about an operational state that is
equivalent to the oven door being closed. Connect
an external power source to the power input termi-
nal of the touch control panel, then it is possible to
check and repair the controls of the touch control
panel;itisalsopossibletocheckthesensor-related
controls of the touch control panel by using the
dummy resistor(s).
3. Servicing Tools
Tools required to service the touch control panel as-
sembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W
(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a
grounding terminal.)
2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC -
10MHz type or more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools
4. Other Precautions
1) Before turning on the power source of the control
unit,remove the aluminium foil applied for prevent-
ing static electricity.
2) Connecttheconnector of the key unittothe control
unit being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.
3) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that
abnormal 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
precision is required.
1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components
This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the
circuits. When handling these parts, the following pre-
cautions should be strictly followed. CMOS LSI have
extremely high impedance at its input and output
terminals.For this reason, itis easily influencedby the
surroundinghighvoltagepowersource, staticelectric-
ity charge in clothes, etc., and sometimes it is not fully
protected by the built-in protection circuit.
In order to protect CMOS LSI.
1) When storing and transporting, thoroughly wrap
them in aluminium foil. Also wrap PW boards con-
taining them in aluminium foil.
2) Whensoldering,groundthetechnicianasshownin
the figure and use grounded soldering iron and
work table.
2. Servicing of Touch Control Panel
We describe the procedures to permit servicing of the
touch control panel of the microwave oven and the
precautions you must take when doing so.
To perform the servicing, power to the touch control
panelisavailableeitherfromthepowerlineoftheoven
itself or from an external power source.
(1)Servicing the touch control panel with power
supply of the oven :
CAUTION:
THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER OF THE
MICROWAVE OVEN IS STILL LIVE DURING
SERVICING AND PRESENTS A HAZARD .
Therefore, when checking the performance of the
touch control panel, put the outer cabinet on the
oven to avoid touching the high voltage trans-
former, or unplug the primary terminal (connector)
ofthehighvoltagetransformertoturnit off; the end
ofsuchconnectormustbeinsulatedwithaninsulat-
ing tape. After servicing, be sure to replace the
leads to their original locations.
A. On some models, the power supply cord be-
tweenthetouchcontrolpanelandtheovenitself
is so short that the two can't be separated.
For those models, check and repair all the
controls (sensor-related ones included) of the
touch control panel while keeping it connected
to the oven.
B. On some models, the power supply cord be-
tween the touch control panel and the oven
proper is so long enough that they may be
separated from each other. For those models,
therefore, it is possible to check and repair the
controlsofthetouchcontrolpanelwhilekeeping
it apart from the oven proper; in this case you
mustshortboth ends of the door sensing switch
