MICROWAVE LEAKAGE TEST
CAUTIONS
• Be sure to check microwave leakage prior to servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to servicing.
• The service personnel should inform the manufacture importer, or assembler of any certified oven unit found to have a microwave emission level in excess of 5 mW/cm2and should repair any unit
found to have excessive emission levels at no cost to the owner and should ascertain the cause of the excessive leakage. The service personnel should instruct the owner not to use the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.
• If the oven operates with the door open, the service personnel should:
- Tell the user not to operate the oven.
• The service personnel should check all surface and vent openings for microwave leakage.
• Check for microwave leakage after every servicing. The power density of the microwave radiation leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed 4 mW/cm2. Always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation leakage.
MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE
• Pour 275±15cc of 20±5°C(68±9°F) water in a beaker which is graduated to 600 cc, and place the beaker on the center of the turntable.
• Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450 MHz and use it following the manufacturer's recommended test procedure to assure correct result.
• When measuring the leakage, always use the 2-inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
• Operate the oven at its maximum output.
• Measure the microwave radiation using and electromagnetic radiation monitor by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being measured.
Move probe along shaded area.
Probe scanning speed Less than 2.5 cm/sec. ( 1 in/sec)
EQUIPMENT
TESTER (VOLTS-DC, AC, Ohmmeter)

MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER CASE
WATER LOAD
TURNTABLE
REMOVED
(1) 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.
- Around the magnetron
- The waveguide
WARNING: AVOID CONTACTING ANY HIGH
VOLTAGE PARTS.
MEASUREMENT WITH A FULLY ASSEMBLED OVEN
(1) After all components, including the outer
panels, are fully assembled, measure for microwave energy leakage around the door viewing window, the exhaust opening and air inlet openings.
(2) Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the
values prescribed below.
NOTES:
Leakage with the outer panels removed - less than 5 mW/cm2. 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/cm2.
NOTE WHEN MEASURING
(1) Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. (2) The test probe must be removed no faster than
1 inch/sec (2.5cm/sec) along the shaded area, otherwise a false reading may result.
(3) 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.
(4) 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
(1) 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.
(2) Should the microwave energy leakage not be
more than 2 mW/cm2after determining that all parts are in good condition, functioning properly and genuine replacement parts which are listed in this manual have been used.
(3) At least once a year, have the electromagnetic
energy leakage monitor checked for calibration by its manufacturer.
POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT
(1) Microwave power output measurement is made with
the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting with a load of (1000±5) g of potable water.
(2) The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate
glass vessel having a maximum material thickness of 1/8" (3 mm) and an outside diameter of approximately 7.6" (190mm).
(3) The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient
temperature prior to the start of the test.
(4) The initial temperature (T1) of the water is (10±2)°C
(50°F) It is measured immediately before the water is added to the vessel. After addition of the water to the vessel, the load is immediately placed on the center of the turntable which is in the lowest position and the microwave power switched on.
(5) The time T for the temperature of the water to rise by
a value T of (10±2)°K is measured, where T is the time in seconds and T is the temperature rise. The initial and final water temperatures are selected so that the maximum difference between the final water temperature and the ambient temperature is 5°K.
(6) The microwave power output P in watts is
calculated from the following formula :
4,187 X (T) + 0.55 X (T2- T0) X M
P =
T
• T2: Temperature after heating
0
: Temperature after bown
• T
• M : Weight of bowl
is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-up time is not included. (about 3 sec)
(7) The water is stirred to equalize temperature
throughout the vessel, prior to measuring the final water temperature.
(8) Stirring devices and measuring instruments are
selected in order to minimize addition or removal of heat.
