R-254M - 19

approx. 1M ohm

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, it is easily influenced by the
surrounding high voltage power source, static electric-
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) When soldering, ground the technician as shown in

the figure and use grounded soldering iron and
work table.

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
panel is available either from the power line of the oven
itself or from an external power source.

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)
of the high voltage transformer to turn it off; the end
of such connector must be insulated with an insulat-
ing tape. After servicing, be sure to replace the
leads to their original locations.

A. On some models, the power supply cord be-

tween the touch control panel and the oven itself
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 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; 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 the dummy resistor(s)
with resistance equal to that of the controls are
used.

supply from an external power source:
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 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; it is also possible to check the sensor-related
controls of the touch control panel by using the
dummy resistor(s).

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

1) Before turning on the power source of the control

unit, remove the aluminium foil applied for prevent-
ing static electricity.

2) Connect the connector of the key unit to the 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.
