5-10 Check for Microwave Leakage

5-10-1 Procedure for Measurement of  

Microwave Energy Leakage

1. Pour 275±5cc of 20°C±5°C ( 68°CF±9°C ) water in a 

beaker which is graduated to 600cc, and place the 

beaker in the center of the oven.

2. Start to operate the oven and measure the leakage by 

using a microwave energy survey meter.

3. Set survey meter with dual ranges to 2,450MHz.
4. When measuring the leakage, always use the 2 inch 

spacer cone with the probe. Hold the probe perpendic-

ular to the cabinet door. Place the spacer cone of the 

probe on the door and/or cabinet door seam and move 

along the seam, the door viewing window and the ex-

haust openings moving the probe in a clockwise direc-

tion at a rate of 1 inch/sec. If the leakage testing of the 

cabinet door seam is taken near a corner of the door, 

keep the probe perpendicular to the areas making sure 

that the probe end at the base of the cone does not get 

closer than 2 inches to any metal. If it gets closer than 

2 inches, erroneous readings may result.

5. Measured leakage must be less than 4mW/cm

2

, after 

repair or adjustment.

5-10-2 Note on Measurement

1. Do not exceed the limited scale.
2. The test probe must be held on the grip of the handle, 

otherwise a false reading may result when the opera-

tor’s hand is between the handle and the probe.

3. When high leakage is suspected, do not move the 

probe horizontally along the oven surface; this may 

cause damage to the probe.

4. Follow the recommendation of the manufacturer of the 

microwave energy survey meter.

5-10-3 Record keeping and notification after measurement

1. After adjustment and repair of a radiation preventing device, make a repair record for the measured values, and 

keep the data.

2. If the radiation leakage is more than 4mW/cm

2

 after  determining that all parts are in good condition, functioning 

properly and the identical parts are replaced  as listed in this manual, notify that fact to ;

CENTRAL SERVICE CENTER

3. At least once a year have the microwave energy survey  meter checked for accuracy by its manufacturer.

Maximum leakage allowed is 5mW/cm

2

 .

4mW/cm

2

  is used to allow for measurement and 

meter accuracy

WARNING

AVOID THE HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS.
