RS PRO Microwave Emission Detector, 20/200/2000 mG

Introducing the RS PRO RS-194 Microwave Emissions Detector, designed to monitor and detect potentially harmful electromagnetic leakage from microwaves in a household or industry environment. This ergonomically shaped device is simple to use, with an intuitive user interface that can detect even low levels of radiation to ensure complete peace of mind and confidence in the results given by the detector. The emissions detector is equipped with an audible alarm when radiation levels occur above the safe level, which means that this detection device is an essential test and measurement instrument, integral to workplace and home safety.

Microwave emission detectors are devices that are used to detect possible electromagnetic contaminations in a work or domestic environment. An emission detector is an incredibly useful device as often leaks are left undetected until it is too late and there is a high amount of radiation that is emitted. Regular checks are part of good preventative maintenance for microwaves and other items that produce electromagnetic fields such as mobile phones and cameras. Electromagnetic leakage can cause excessive exposure which poses a range of health risks, especially to expectant mothers. Microwave oven detection or EMF is usually completed as part of PAT testing and electrical safety inspections and is often done in:

Long term exposure to electromagnetic radiation could cause damage to an individual’s health, so it is important to ensure any device that creates electromagnetic fields is maintained and checked regularly.

Microwave leakage is checked by using an emission or leakage detector like this RS PRO device. It can accurately pinpoint when the electromagnetic exposure is above a safe level, which can often indicate a leak or malfunction for the microwave or device being tested.

If your microwave is leaking, it is advisable to replace the whole microwave unit with a new one. Microwaves have a life expectancy of around 9-10 years, less if not maintained and checked regularly.
