Flir CM65 Clamp Meter F.A.Q.

How do I measure AC current using the Flir CM65 Clamp Meter?

To measure AC current, switch the CM65 to the AC current mode. Open the clamp and place it around the conductor. Ensure the conductor is centered, and read the measured value on the display.

What should I do if the Flir CM65 does not turn on?

Check the battery compartment to ensure the batteries are properly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace the batteries if necessary. Also, confirm that the power button is functioning correctly.

How can I measure resistance with the Flir CM65?

Turn the dial to the resistance measurement setting. Connect the test leads to the meter and the circuit. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before measuring. Read the resistance value on the display.

Why is the display on my Flir CM65 showing an 'OL' message?

The 'OL' message indicates an overload condition. This means the measured value exceeds the meter's range. Switch to a higher range if available, or check if the measurement setup is correct.

How do I perform a continuity test with the Flir CM65?

Set the meter to the continuity test mode. Connect the test leads to the circuit. If there is continuity, the meter will emit a beep. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before testing.

What maintenance steps should I follow to keep the Flir CM65 in good condition?

Regularly inspect the meter for any physical damage. Clean the clamp and test leads with a dry cloth. Ensure the meter is stored in a dry, dust-free environment. Replace batteries as needed.

Can the Flir CM65 measure DC voltage, and how?

Yes, it can measure DC voltage. Switch to the DC voltage setting, connect the test leads to the circuit, and ensure correct polarity. Read the voltage value displayed.

What is the proper way to replace the batteries in the Flir CM65?

Turn off the meter and remove the back cover to access the battery compartment. Replace the old batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity, and reattach the cover securely.

How do I measure frequency using the Flir CM65?

Switch to the frequency measurement mode. Use the test leads to connect to the AC circuit. The frequency value will be displayed on the meter.

What should I do if the clamp mechanism of the Flir CM65 becomes stiff or difficult to open?

Check for any debris or damage around the clamp area. Gently clean with a soft brush or cloth. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support for assistance.
