MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER
CASE REMOVED
• When you replace the magnetron, measure microwave
energy leakage before the out case is installed and
after all necessary components are replaced or
adjusted.
Special care should be taken in measuring the
following parts. (Shaded area of below Fig.)
— Around the magnetron
— The waveguide
MEASUREMENT WITH A FULLY
ASSEMBLED OVEN
• After all components, including the outer case, are fully
assembled, measure for microwave energy leakage
around the door viewing window, the exhaust opening,
and air inlet openings.
• Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the values
prescribed below.
NOTE:
Leakage with the outer case removed - less than
5 mW/cm
2
.
Leakage for a fully assembled oven (“Before the latch
switch (primary) is interrupted”) with the door in a slightly
opened position - less than 4 mW/cm
2
.
NOTES WHEN MEASURING
• Do not exceed meter full scale deflection.
• The test probe must be removed no faster than
1 inch/sec (2.5 cm/sec) along the shaded area,
otherwise a false reading may result.
• The test probe must be held with the grip portion of the
handle.
A false reading may result if the operator's hand is
between the handle and the probe.
• When testing near a corner of the door, keep the probe
perpendicular to the surface making sure the probe
horizontally along the oven surface, this may possibly
cause probe damage.
RECORD KEEPING AND NOTIFICATION
AFTER MEASUREMENT
• After adjustment and repair of any microwave energy
interruption or microwave energy blocking
device, record the measured values for future
reference. Also enter the information on the service
invoice.
• Should the microwave energy leakage not be more
than 4 mW/cm
2
after determining that all parts are in
good condition, functioning properly and genuine
replacement parts which are listed in this manual have
been used.
• At least once a year, have the electromagnetic energy
leakage monitor checked for calibration by its
manufacture.
