Microwave Leakage Test - Goldstar MV1610ST Service Manual

MICROWAVE LEAKAGE TEST

CAUTIONS
• Be sure to check microwave leakage prior to
servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior
to servicing.
• The service personnel should inform the
manufacture importer, or assembler of any
certified oven unit found to have a microwave
emission level in excess of 5 mW/cm
repair any unit found to have excessive emission
levels at no cost to the owner and should ascertain
the cause of the excessive leakage. The service
personnel should instruct the owner not to use the
unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.
• If the oven operates with the door open, the
service personnel should:
- Tell the user not to operate the oven.
- Contact the manufacturer and CDRH
(Center for Devices and Radiological Health)
immediately.

• The service personnel should check all surface and
vent openings for microwave leakage.
• Check for microwave leakage after every servicing.
The power density of the microwave radiation
leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not
exceed 4 mW/cm 2 . Always start measuring of an
unknown field to assure safety for operating
personnel from radiation leakage.
EQUIPMENT
• TESTER (VOLTS-DC, AC, Ohmmeter)
• Microwave survey meter
- Holaday HI-1500

• 600 cc non conductive material beaker (glass or
plastic), inside diameter: approx. 8.5 cm (3
• Glass thermometer: 100°C or 212°F (1 deg scale)
MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY
LEAKAGE
• Pour 275±15cc of 20±5°C(68±9°F) water in a
beaker which is graduated to 600 cc, and place
the beaker on the center of the turntable.
• Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450 MHz and
use it following the manufacturer's recommended
and should

test procedure to assure correct result.
• When measuring the leakage, always use the 2-
inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
• Operate the oven at its maximum output.
• Measure the microwave radiation using and
electromagnetic radiation monitor by holding the
probe perpendicular to the surface being
measured.
Move probe along shaded area.
