Select Button (SELECT)

Momentarily press to select resistance, continuity, or diode test when the

Selector switch is set to .

Frequency Button (Hz)

Press to measure frequency.

Note: The sensitivity of the frequency measurement function varies with the

measurement range. To automatically select a sensitivity level, measure the

voltage level ﬁrst, and then press Hz. Pressing Hz before making a measurement

may give higher sensitivity. Reading may be zero when sensitivity is too low.

Electrical noise may cause unstable readings.

Hold Button (HOLD )

Press momentarily to hold the present value on the display. will appear on

the display.

Press again to return to normal mode.

Relative Measurement Button (∆)

This feature ﬁnds the difference between two measurements.

While taking a measurement, press ∆to set the display to zero. ∆ will appear

on the display.

Take the second measurement. The value on the display will be the difference

between the two measurements.

Press again to exit this mode.

Auto Power Off

To extend battery life, the meter will shut itself off after approximately 30 minutes

of inactivity. To restore power, press any button.

AC Measurement

AC measurements are usually displayed as RMS (root mean square) values. The

RMS value is equal to the value of a DC waveform, which would deliver the same

power if it replaced the time-varying waveform. Two AC measurement methods

are average-responding RMS calibrated and true RMS-reading.

The average-responding RMS calibrated method takes the average value of the

input signal after full wave rectiﬁcation, multiplies it by 1.11, and displays the

result. This method is accurate if the input signal is a pure sine wave.

The true RMS-reading method uses internal circuitry to read the true RMS value.

This method is accurate, within the speciﬁed crest factor limitations, whether the

input signal is a pure sine wave, square wave, triangle wave, half wave, or signal

with harmonics. The ability to read true RMS provides much more measurement

versatility. The Greenlee CM-450 is a true RMS meter.

The Waveforms and Crest Factors table shows some typical AC signals and their

RMS values.

Operation

Electric shock hazard:

Contact with live circuits could result in severe injury or

death.

1. Set the Selector switch according to the Settings Table. Momentarily press the

SELECT button to select mode.

2. Refer to “Typical Measurements” for speciﬁc measurement instructions.

3. Test the unit on a known functioning circuit or component.

If the unit does not function as expected on a known functioning circuit,

replace the battery.

If the unit still does not function as expected, call Greenlee for technical

assistance at 800-435-0786.

4. Take the reading from the circuit or component to be tested.

Clamp Around Wire

Notes:

Clamp the jaw around

one conductor only.

Close the jaw completely to

ensure accurate measurement.

Center the wire in the jaw for

highest accuracy.

Clamp Around Line Splitter

Notes:

The Greenlee 93-30 Line Splitter is divided.

One section renders amps; the other

renders amps multiplied by 10.

Close the jaw completely to ensure accu-

rate measurement.

Center the line splitter in the jaw for

highest accuracy.
