14.2.Procedure for measuring radiation leakage

Note before measuring

1.Do not exceed meter full scale deflection Leakage monitor should initially be set to the highest scale.

2.To prevent false readings the test probe should be held by the grip portion of the handle only and moved along the shaded area shown in Figure right no faster than 1 inch/sec (2.5cm/sec)

3.Leakage with the outer panel removed less than 5mw/square centimeter

4.Leakage for a fully assembled oven with door normally closed less than 2mw/square centimeter

5.Leakage for a fully assembled oven [Before the interlock switch (primary) is interrupted] while pulling the door less than 2mw/square centimeter

1.Pour 275±15cc (9ozs ±1/2oz) of 20 ± 5°C (68 ± 9°F) water in a beaker which is graduated to 600cc, and place the beaker in the center of the oven.

2.Set the radiation monitor to 2450MHz and use it following the manufactuer’s recommended test procedure to assure correct results.

3.When measuring the leakage, always use the 2 inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.

4.Press the start button and with the magnetron oscillating, measure the leakage by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being measured.

1.Measurement with the outer panel removed.

Whenever you replace the magnetron, measure for radiation leakage before the outer panel is installed and after all necessary components are replaced or adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring around the magnetron.

WARNING

Avoid contacting any high voltage parts.

2.Measurements with a fully assembled oven.

After all components, including the outer panel are fully assembled, measure for radiation leakage around the door periphery, the door viewing window, the exhaust opening and air inlet openings.

14.3.Record keeping and notification after measurement

1.After any adjustment or repair to a microwave oven, a leakage reading must be taken. Record this leakage reading on the repair ticket even if it is zero.

A copy of this repair ticket and the microwave leakage reading should be kept by repair facility.

2.Should the radiation leakage be more than 2mw/square centimeter after determining that all parts are in good condition, functioning properly, and genuine replacement parts as listed in this manual have been used, immediately notify PASC or PSC.

14.4.At least once a year, have the radiation monitor checked for calibration by its manufacturer.

NE-2180C, NE-2180, NE-3280 specifications

Panasonic's commercial microwaves, including the NE-3280, NE-2180, and NE-2180C, are designed to meet the demanding needs of the foodservice industry. Each model is engineered to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and durability, making them ideal for restaurants, cafes, and catering services.

Starting with the Panasonic NE-3280, it features a powerful 1800 watts of cooking power. This industrial-grade microwave offers a spacious 0.9 cubic feet interior, allowing for larger dishes and more significant quantities of food to be heated at once. The NE-3280 is equipped with a user-friendly touch control panel that provides easy access to multiple power levels and cooking times, which can be stored in memory for quick recalls. A key feature is its inverter technology, which delivers a steady stream of power for even cooking and defrosting, ensuring food retains its texture and flavor without overcooking.

Next, the NE-2180 model also showcases cutting-edge inverter technology but with a slightly lower wattage of 1,200 watts. This model maintains a compact design while providing a substantial 0.8 cubic feet of cooking capacity. It's tailored for smaller kitchens or operations looking for efficiency without compromising quality. The NE-2180 comes with programmable menus enabling quick selection of common cooking tasks, improving speed during busy service periods. Furthermore, the stainless-steel exterior makes the unit easy to clean and resistant to wear over time.

The NE-2180C variant is similar to the NE-2180 but is designed with specific features for enhanced versatility in food preparation. It includes a reliable cooking timer and a convenient one-touch control for reheating items quickly. The NE-2180C also sports a robust construction tailored for high-volume use. All three models boast a design that enhances safety with features like a cooling fan to prevent overheating and a child safety lock.

In summary, Panasonic's NE-3280, NE-2180, and NE-2180C microwaves represent a blend of innovation, reliability, and versatility. Each model is geared toward improving efficiency in commercial kitchens while ensuring the quality of heated food. With their durable design, user-friendly controls, and advanced technologies, these microwaves are essential tools for any foodservice operation looking to enhance its meal preparation process.
