Microwave Leakage Test
Note before 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,
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 2.5cm/second.
• Always hold the probe at right angles to the
oven and point of measurement, ensuring the
probe is reading 50mm from the test area.
• With any casework removed the leakage
should not exceed 5mW/cm².
Procedure:
1. Add 275ml of cold water into a 600ml microwave
safe container.
2. Place the 600ml container in the center of
oven and close the door.
3. Enter Service mode and select ‘Microwave leakage
test’ (A) from the oven tests.
4. Set the leakage meter to the appropriate
scale/range.
5. Move the survey meter probe across all
casework joins and vent areas including
those marked in yellow, shown
opposite.
6. When the Magnetron circuit stops after
30 seconds, change the water and re-
select the test to continue.
7. Select the red ‘X’ on the display to stop
the test at any time.
8. Readings must be below 5mW/cm². If
a level greater than 5mW/cm² is
observed, this should be reported to
Merrychef Service Department
immediately.
9. Notes should be kept of any leakage
that is observed in terms of the level
and position on the oven. This
information should be kept with the
service documentation.
