Description

The Greenlee CM-660, CM-860, CM-960, CMH-600, and CMI-600 Clamp Meters are 

hand-held testing devices with the following measurement capabilities:  AC and DC 

voltage, AC current, AC current AmpTip™, frequency, non-contact electric field (EF)

detection, and resistance. They also check diodes and verify continuity. These meters 

are designed to be placed on or removed from insulated or uninsulated conductors.

Additional functionality specific to each model includes:
