NOTES:

SHOCK HAZARD: As defined in American National Standard, C39.5, Safety

Requirements for Electrical & Electronic Measuring & Controlling Instrumen­tation, a shock hazard shall be considered to exist at any part involving a

potential in excess of 30 volts RMS (sine wave) or 42.4 volts DC or peak and
where a leakage current from that part to ground exceeds 0.5 milliampere,
when measured with an appropriate measuring instrument defined in Sec­tion 11.6.1 of ANSI C39.5.
NOTE: The proper measuring instrument for the measurement of leakage
current consists essentially of a network of a 1500 ohm non-inductive resistor
shunted by a 0.15 microfarad capacitor connected between the terminals of
the measuring instrument. The leakage current is that portion of the current
that flows through the resistor. The Simpson Model 229-Series 2 AC Leak­age Current Tester meets the ANSI C39.5 requirements for the measurement
of AC leakage current and can be used for this purpose. To measure DC
Leakage current, connect a 1500 ohm non-inductive resistor in series with a
Simpson 0-500 DC microammeter and use this as the measuring instrument.

MEETS FEDERAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

The Simpson 380-2 Microwave Leakage Tester has been tested and evalu­ated by the Bureau of Radiological Health, Education and Welfare.
When correctly used, in accordance with the instructions contained within
this Operator’s Manual, the Simpson 380-2 meets the measurement require­ments of the Federal Performance Standard for Leakage from Microwave
Ovens for both production and Field Service Testing.
This Instrument is designed to prevent accidental shock to the operator when
properly used. However, no engineering design can render safe an instru­ment which is used carelessly. Therefore, this manual must be read carefully
and completely before making any measurements. Failure to follow direc­tions can result in serious or fatal accident.
