Microwave Leakage test
Follow these instructions when measuring:
Make sure that the survey meter you are using has been calibrated and is suitable for measuring
frequencies of 2,450 MHz.
Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. The leakage meter should initially be set to the highest
scale, then adjusted down as necessary to ensure that low readings are measured on the most
sensitive range.
To prevent false readings, hold the probe on the grip provided and move at 2.5 cm/second.
Always hold the probe at right angles to the oven and point of measurement, ensuring the probe is
reading 50 mm from the test area.
The leakage should not exceed 5 mW/cm².
1.
Add 275 ml of cold water into a 600 ml microwave safe container.
2.
Place the 600 ml container in the centre of the cavity and close
the door.
3.
Enter Service Mode on the screen and select ‘Microwave leakage
test’ from the appliance tests.
4.
Set the leakage meter to the appropriate scale/range.
