INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing General Tools &
Instruments’ (General’s) CM660 or CM700 Rugged
Auto Ranging True RMS AC/DC Clamp Meter. Please
read this user’s manual carefully and thoroughly
before using the instrument.
Each meter combines the functions of a voltmeter and
a clamp-type ammeter. The meters are designed for
use in an industrial setting by HVAC/R contractors,
building maintenance technicians, MRO
(maintenance, repair and operations) personnel at
process and power plants, electricians and
electrical/electronic technicians.
The only difference between the CM660 and CM700
involves their current measurement range and
resolution. Where the CM660 has a 0 to 600A
measurement range and a maximum current resolution
of 0.01A, the CM700 has a 0 to 1000A measurement
range and a maximum resolution of 0.1A.
Both clamp meters are easy to use and ruggedly built.
Each meets the ETL CAT III 600V, CAT II 1000V safety
standard.

concrete from height of 5 ft. (1.6m)
• 20-minute Auto Power Off (APO) function can be
disabled
• ETL certified CAT III 600V, CAT II 1000V
• 3 year limited warranty
WHAT’S IN THE BLISTER ACK
The meter is supplied in a blister pack with a cavity in
the rear for a soft black nylon carrying pouch. Inside
the pouch are a set of double-insulated test leads
with screw-on alligator clips, a “K” type stem
thermocouple probe and plug adapter, 3 “AAA”
batteries and this user’s manual.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,
and to avoid damaging the meter or the equipment
under test:
• Do not use the meter in any way not detailed in this
manual or the meter's safety features may be
compromised.
• Before using the meter, inspect the case.
Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Look for
cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to
the insulation around the connectors.
•
WAR I G
Inspect the test leads for damaged
insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads
for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before
using the meter.
• Verify the meter’s operation by measuring a known
voltage. Do not use the meter if it operates
abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in
doubt, have the meter serviced.
•
WAR I G
Do not apply more than the rated
voltage, as marked on the meter, between the
terminals or between any terminal and ground.
AUTO

•
WAR I G
Do not measure voltages above 1000V
in Category III installations.
•
WAR I G
Do not measure voltage when the
function switch points to the resistance (ohms),
current, capacitance or temperature settings. Never
measure current when the switch points to the
resistance (ohms), capacitance or temperature
settings.
• Use caution when working with voltages above
42VACRMS, or 60VDC. These voltages pose a shock
hazard.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for all
measurements.
•
WAR I G
Do not operate the meter around
explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
•
WAR I G
When using the probes, keep your
fingers behind the finger guards. Do not touch the
metal probes of the test leads when making a
measurement.
• When making connections, connect the black (–)
test lead before connecting the red (+) test lead;
when disconnecting, disconnect the red (+) test
lead before disconnecting the black (–) test lead.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before measuring/testing
resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• or all DC functions in both auto and manual
ranging mode, to avoid the risk of shock due to
possible improper reading verify the presence of
any AC voltages by first using the AC function. Then
select a DC voltage range equal to or greater than
the AC range.
• Before measuring current, turn off power to the
circuit before connecting the meter.
• Do not operate the meter with the case (or part of
the case) removed.
9
• Use only three “AAA” batteries, properly installed in
the battery compartment, to power the meter. Do
not use rechargeable batteries.
• Replace the batteries as soon as the low battery
indicator “ ” appears. Operated with weak
batteries, the meter might produce false readings
that could lead to electric shock and personal injury.
• Remove the test leads from the meter before
opening the meter case or battery compartment.

SETU INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL BATTERIES
The battery compartment of the CM660/700 is
located at the back of the meter.
To open the compartment, use a small Phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the single screw securing the
battery compartment cover. Be careful not to lose the
small screw. Put the screw and the cover to the side.
Install the three supplied “AAA” batteries in the
battery compartment. Use the polarity marks
stenciled inside the compartment as a guide.
Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it
with the Phillips-head screw.
