A simple model of how this detector works is that of a diode. That is, a harmonic electric field incident on the wires, connected to the diode, gets rectified. The voltage across these wires then looks like a sequence of half waves at the microwave frequency. The voltmeter across these wires can't respond at this frequency so it measures an average of this rectified waveform, which is a dc voltage.
