PROCEDURE

COMPONENT TEST
TEST PROCEDURES (CONT'D)
Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The asymmetric can be tested using an
ohmmeter set to its highest range across the terminals A+B of the asymmetric rectifier and note the
reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this second reading. If an open circuit is indicated
in both direction then the asymmetric rectifier is good. If an asymmetric rectifier is shorted in either
direction, then the asymmetric rectifier is probably faulty and must be replaced with high voltage rectifier.
When the asymmetric rectifier is defective, check whether magnetron, high voltage rectifier, high voltage
wire or filament winding of the power transformer is shorted.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS
NOTE: FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE RESISTANCE OF THE RECTIFIER, THE BATTERIES OF
THE MEASURING INSTRUMENT MUST HAVE A VOLTAGE AT LEAST 6 VOLTS, BECAUSE
OTHERWISE AN INFINITE RESISTANCE MIGHT BE SHOWN IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
D
HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS
A. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
B. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest resistance
range.
C. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10M
Ω
after
it has been charged.
D. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 M
Ω
because of its internal 10M
Ω
resistance.
F. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
G. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite when the capacitor is normal.
If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS
E
SWITCH TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS
Isolate the switch to be tested and using an ohmmeter check between the terminals as described in the
following table.
COM; Common terminal, NO; Normally open terminal NC; Normally close terminal

MONITOR RESISTOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS
Disconnect the leads from the monitor resistor.
Using an ohmmeter and set on a low range.
Check between the terminals of the monitor resistor as described in the following table.
If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the monitor resistor.
