ETS-Lindgren HI-1600 Microwave Oven Survey Meter - Manual (Page 20)

20 | Operation
The beaker must be placed in the center of the oven rack.
• Close and latch oven door.
• Set range timer to five minutes and select “High” (915 MHz) power.
• When power indicator (or “Cook”) lamp lights, range is ready for test.
Testing the Range
Testing should begin immediately after the power indicator lamp
comes on. As you scan the perimeter of the oven door, watch the
meter for deflection. The entire perimeter of the oven must be
scanned.
• Place the white probe cover adjacent to slot between door and oven
body, scan entire perimeter of oven door. Keep axis of probe
perpendicular to oven surface being measured.
• Select “Fast” response for initial scan of entire door periphery to locate
the maximum leakage point. Meter readings noted on first scan should
indicate the suspect locations of radiation, if any exist.
• Once the origin of the maximum leakage has been identified, turn the
select switch to “Slow” response and monitor for two minutes,
recording the maximum repeatable values obtained during this survey.
