  • Page 6: Introduction

    1.0 Introduction The ETS-Lindgren Model HI-1501 Microwave Survey Meter is a rugged, compact, portable instrument that is virtually immune to failure caused by excessive fields or physical abuse. This instrument is acceptable to the US Government Center for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH) for compliance testing of microwave ovens and to all major microwave oven manufacturers for testing ovens in use and after repair.

  • Page 7: Calibration Method

    The HI-1501 must be used with the spacer cone in place. Using the instrument without the cone will result in reading errors and may damage the unit. Calibration Method Each meter is calibrated by placing the probe in a CW (continuous wave) 2450 MHz electromagnetic field.

  • Page 16: Operation

    Accuracy The accuracy of the ETS-Lindgren Model HI-1501 Microwave Survey Meter is within ± 1 dB (+25%, -20%) when used according to these instructions: Always use a clean spacer cone. Accuracy will be affected by wear of the cone and by dirt and metallic particles which may become imbedded in the EPS (Expanded Polystyrene-Styrofoam).
  • Page 17 The normal operating temperature ranges is between 60º and 90º F (15.5º and 32.2º C). If used outside this range, an additional error will be introduced. This error can be approximated as -0.14% per Fahrenheit (F) degree. The negative temperature coefficient means that the instrument reads high at lower temperatures and low at higher temperatures.

  • Page 18: Preparing The Oven

    Preparing the Oven Do not attempt to operate a microwave oven with:  Any object caught in the door.  A door that does not close properly  A damaged door, hinge, latch or sealing surface. Make sure the oven is clean and there is no buildup of dirt around the door seal area.

  • Page 19: Preparing The Meter

    (Styrofoam) spacer cone is intact and firmly seated on the probe. Check the cone for signs of wear or contamination. If the cone is contaminated or worn, contact ETS-Lindgren Customer Service Department for replacement. Move the SLOW / FAST switch to the FAST position. Turn the selector switch to the BATT TEST position.

  • Page 20: Making A Measurement

    Making a Measurement Turn the oven on and proceed with the leakage measurement. Hold the probe by the red handle in one hand and hold the meter in the other hand. Place the tip of the spacer cone against the oven surface, with the probe handle perpendicular to the surface.

  • Page 21: What The Measurement Means

    Hold the probe in place over the spot for at least five seconds and watch for the highest needle indication. The needle will move slower and not go quite as high as it did in the FAST position. The reading you obtain is the maximum leakage of the oven.
