Microwave leakage detector

Now available from Martindale Electric is the TEK500 Microwave Leakage Detector Tester, designed to simply and safely detect radiation leakage from commercial and domestic microwave ovens.

Extensive use of domestic ovens in demanding commercial environments can often lead to damage such as door loosening through slamming or misuse, a build up of dirt around the seal or damage to the interlock, a combination of which could lead to a potentially harmful radiation leak.

The TEK500 is a low cost and easy to use microwave leakage detector designed and developed to comply with the specification and requirements of BS5175:1976, Safety of Commercial Electrical Appliances using Microwave Energy. Using a simple pass/fail design the TEK500 features an audible tone (3kHz) to signal hazardous radiation detected above 5mW/cm and a self test ability, which should be performed before use to ensure the Microwave Detector is measuring within specifications.
