MEASUREMENT WITH OUTER CASE
REMOVED
• When you replace the magnetron, measure for
microwave energy leakage before the outer case is
installed and after all necessary components are
replaced or adjusted.
Special care should be taken in measuring the
following parts. (Circled area of Fig. below)
- 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.sq. Leakage for a fully assembled
oven (Before the latch switch (primary) is
interrupted) with the door in a slightly opened
position-less than 2 mW/cm.sq.
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 is
moved horizontally along the oven surface.
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.
• The microwave energy leakage should not be more
than 4 mW/cm.sq. 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
manufacturer.
