Radiation Monitors

!WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor before servicing, unless testing requires power.

Operating Instructions for the Holaday HI1501, HI1510, HI1710, and HI1801

Purpose of these monitors is to check radiation leakage around microwave oven door or other places where radiation could possibly occur.

Instrument measures radiation leakage in milliwatts per square centimeters (mW/cm2). Probe should be used with the 2" (5 cm) cone spacer. Water load of 275 cc. (approximately 1 1/3 cup), is to be placed in the oven and used as a load during leakage tests.

Operate the instrument on its internal 9 Volt battery power supply. “Range” switch is used on low and high while using test probe. On an oven with an unknown leakage, use high scale then switch to low scale and test for low leakage. “Bat Test” switch is used to check the battery and probe on the Holaday Instruments. If either is faulty, meter needle will not read above “Test Minimum” or battery mark on meter. Holaday Instrument has a probe test switch position. Meter needle must indicate in the “OK probe test” portion of the scale when in this position. Zero control is used to zero the needle. “ON-OFF” switch provides a means of turning the operating voltage on or off. “Range Multiplier” switch provides a means of selection either 0-2 or 0-10 and 0-100 on the Holaday Instruments sensitivity ranges.

Test probe must be held by the grip portion of the handle, otherwise a false reading may result if operators hand is between the handle and probe.

If oven is likely to have a large amount of leakage, approach oven slowly with the probe, while observing meter. This is achieved by holding the probe two or three feet from oven surface or gap between door and oven body while observing meter. When high leakage is expected, do not move probe horizontally along the oven surface. This could cause possible probe burn-out. Greatest leakage is generally found at the corners. After maximum leakage is established to be within the meter scale range, then probe may be moved horizontally around the door surface.

Hold probe perpendicular to cabinet door. Place cone of probe on the door and/or cabinet door seam and move along the seam. If leakage of the oven is unknown, move probe slowly. Proceed with care in order not to exceed a full scale reading of meter. When testing near a corner or access area of door, keep probe perpendicular to the areas making sure probe end at the base of the cone does not get closer than 2” (5cm) to any metal. If it does, an erroneous reading may result.

Always use the 2” (5cm) spacer with probe. Also, always proceed carefully in areas of high leakage or probe can be accidentally burned-out. Rotating antenna causes high peaks of energy. Although meter has averaging capabilities, probe will react instantaneously to peak power changes which will cause burn-out.
