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.
Set the leakage meter to the appropriate
scale/range.
Move the survey meter probe across all
casework joins and vent areas including
those marked in yellow.
