The U.S. Government standard is 5 mW/cm
voluntary standard. (1mW/cm
3.1 Equipment
Electromagnatic radiation monitor
Glass thermometer 212° F or 100° C
600cc glass beaker
3.2 Procedure for measuring radiation leakage
Note before measuring.
Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. Leakage monitor should initially be set to the highest scale.
To prevent false readings the test probe should be held by the grip portion of the handle only and moved along the
shaded area in Figure no faster than 1 inch/sec (2.5cm/sec).
Leakage with the outer panel removed ...... less than 5mW/cm
Leakage for a fully assembled oven with door normally closed ...... less than 2mW/cm
Leakage for a fully assembled oven [Before the latch switch (primary) is interrupted] while pulling the door ...... less
2
than 2mW/cm
.
1.
Pour 275 ± 15cc (9ozs
the center of the oven.
2.
Set the radiation monitor to 2450MHz and use it following the manufacturerɅs recommended test procedure to assure
correct results.
3.
When measuring the leakage, always use the 2 inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
4.
Tap the start pad or set the timer and with the magnetron oscillating, measure the leakage by holding the probe
perpendicular to the surface being measured.
3.2.1 Measurement with the outer panel removed.
Whenever you replace the magnetron, measure for radiation leakage before the outer panel is installed and after all
necessary components are replaced or adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring around the magnetron.
3.2.2 Measurements with a fully assembled oven.
After all components, including outer panel are fully assembled, measure for radiation leakage around the door periphery,
the door viewing window, the exhaust opening and air inlet openings.
3.3 Record keeping and notification after
measurement
After any adjustment or repair to a microwave oven, a leakage reading must be taken. Record this leakage reading on
the repair ticket even if it is zero.
A copy of this repair ticket and the microwave leakage reading should be kept by repair facility.
Should the radiation leakage be more than 2 mW/cm
