COMPONENT CHECKOUT PROCEDURE RESULTS
1) Check for resistance : Across the filament terminals of the Normal reading :
the magnetron with an ohmmeter on Rx1 scale.
Less than 1 ohm.
2) Check for resistance : Across the filament terminals of
Normal reading :
the magnetron and the chassis ground with an ohm-meter
Infinite ohms
on highest scale.
The chart below shows the firing times of the variable power
relay for the EM-G454 model. The table should be used as
a means to check the magnetron is operating correctly and
producing any other power setting apart from full power.
7. TEST PROCEDURES AND TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION
- DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY
