Have you ever watched up close as your leftovers heated in a microwave oven? Has your child?
How much body penetrating microwave radiation do you think you took in? Would you like to know before you do it again?
Microwave oven leakage is serious business. Every year millions of children, pregnant women, and people of all ages stand too close to an operating microwave oven, exposing themselves to dangerous levels of body penetrating microwave radiation. Microwave radiation is known to cause cataracts, birth defects, cancer and other serious health problems. Warning labels are included in every oven owner's manual. The FDA takes the problem so seriously, it has set legal limits on the amount of leakage permitted. Check you oven at home, at work, at school!  MICROWAVE LEAKAGE DETECTOR
Simple, Economical, Reliable For a fast, easy check of leakage from microwave ovens. Large dial with needle gauge clearly distinguishes “Safe” from “Danger”. Just move the meter around the oven door seal while the oven is operating. Designed for use at 2.4 GHz (normal microwave oven), but may have wider (uncharacterized) frequency response. No batteries required. CE

Digital Accuracy Here's a unit which will give you not only accurate digital readings of the amount of leakage from microwave ovens, but it also provides an audible "beeping" alarm and red flashing light when it senses microwaves above the 5 mW/cm² danger threshold! Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand, it is so easy to use: just press the ON button, then press and hold the auto range ZERO button to adjust to zero before each use. Then check the seal of the operating oven door. Sensitivity down to 0.01 mW/cm² at 2450 MHz, it will read all the way up to a roasting 9.99 mW/cm² in hundredths of mW/cm². Battery operates for more than 12 months under normal use. Never needs re-calibration. Excellent reliability and high precision instrument. Complete with carry case to keep your unit in perfect condition. And as a bonus, this unit can be used to measure radiated power from other wireless devices using the 2450 MHz analog frequency. Has nice carry case and backlit display. Uses one 9V battery (included) or can be powered by optional external AC/DC9V adapter. One year wty and ±1dB accuracy. This is the unit we recommend if you need more information about your oven leakage. CE compliant.
Microwave Oven Leakage Meter (Cat. #A138) ....... $34.95
High Precision, Professional Quality This meter is specially designed for measuring or monitoring RF emissions from microwave ovens reliably. Calibrated specifically for the 2.45 GHz frequency range used by ovens. Measurement range 0 to 1.999 mW/cm² with 0.001 resolution. Built in audible alarm at 1 mW/cm². Best of all, the sensor is located 5 cm (2 inches) from the top of the unit so it completely takes the guesswork out of where to position the meter. Simply touch the top of the meter to the oven door/seal/window and make accurate, repeatable readings. Includes Peak Hold feature to capture the highest reading. Will also measure analog 2.45 GHz (±50 MHz) frequencies from other sources. Has residual sensitivity from 30 MHz to 3 GHz so other frequencies can be detected, but for reference only. Requires one 9V battery. 1 year wty. 2dB accuracy.
2.45 GHz Meter for Microwave Ovens (Cat. #A109) …. $109.95
(for example, sensitivity at 5 Hz is 33 times greater than the regular Trifield meter)
• The RF sensor is frequency-flat over the extended range of 100 kHz - 2.5 GHz.
With these extended ranges, you can detect slow moving static electric and magnetic fields, concealed RF transmitters, cellular phone radiation, very weak AC electric fields from wall switches and concealed wiring, and lots of other low frequency EMF sources you might have missed, as well as fine tuning your shielding efforts!
Trifield Extended Range Broadband Meter (Cat. #A155)........$189.95
PRO MICROWAVE OVEN SURVEY METER
This is the least expensive, professional quality, high accuracy microwave oven survey meter available. Single 0.5 to 10 mW/cm² range is extremely easy to use. The mid-scale reading (5 mW/cm²) corresponds to the allowable limit for ovens used in the United States, Canada, and most of Europe. Its detection circuitry uses a patented spiral antenna design. Complete with a beaker and thermometer to measure the output power of the oven in addition to its leakage.
