CEM MARS 6 User Manual

d. Use a suitable RF field strength meter (microwave detector) such as the Holaday Model HI-1500 (available
from CEM Corporation, P/N 300500). Slowly move the RF probe around the door perimeter and around the
fan grills to check for microwave leakage.
NOTE
CEM does not recommend use of meters available in electronics stores because they are prone to give
erroneous readings and lack the necessary sensitivity to properly test an instrument for microwave
leakage.
The U.S. Government defines excessive microwave leakage as 5 mW/cm2. If the instrument shows excessive microwave
leakage, do not attempt further operation. Contact the CEM Corporation Service Department or the local CEM subsidiary
or distributor for further instructions.

1. Install the turntable in the microwave cavity.
2. From the MARS 6 home screen, select the “System Menu” icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
3. Select “Tools.”
