INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Introduction

The CLM100B digital Cable Length Meter is an excellent tool to measure

spooled cable/wire. This best seller is built solid and supplied with a

Ruggedized boot for reliable field performance. Currently being utilized

by major utility companies, electrical contractors, wholesalers, and

installers where quick and accurate inventory management or measure-

ments are needed for job accountability. Simply attach the Kelvin Clips

to both ends of the cable and adjust the indicator to the size wire being

measured. A temperature compensation circuit ensures accuracy by

compensating for the temperature of the wire.

Features include

• Increased resolution to 0.000

• Improved accuracy to ±1% of reading for lengths greater than

300 ft (100m)

• Measures copper and aluminum cables; covers the major

wire gauges

• 6 User programmable wire gauge settings

• 25 Pre-set wire gauge settings

• Automatic temperature compensation

• Reads in feet and meters

• Milliohm measurement capability

• Wire size: 26 ga – 4/0 ga

• 250 MCM – 5000 MCM

• Resistance 65

• Auto off

• Two easy-to-attach Kelvin Clip leads connect to cable

WARNING!

Make sure wire under test is not energized. Never apply voltage

to inputs.

NOTE: Temperature affects accuracy of readings. Please see accuracy

specifications. For best results, allow the CLM100B to attain the same

ambient temperature as the wire under test. The length of time this will

take depends on the ambient temperature. Typically it will take 10 to 15

minutes for the CLM100B to attain equal ambient temperature.

Safety Tips

Before using this meter, read all safety information carefully. In

this manual the word "WARNING" is used to indicate conditions

or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word

"CAUTION" is used to indicate conditions or actions that may

damage this instrument.

Operating Instructions

Calibration Procedures

1. Turn the rotary selector from off to any position to turn the

meter on.

2. Set the rotary selector to “R”on the dial.

3. Insert the black test leads into one pair of input jacks and the

red test leads into the other pair of input jacks. (Ignore the gray

marking on the banana plug). This is very important to ensure

that the meter works correctly. If black and red test leads are

mixed the unit will give a false reading. (Fig 1)

4. Connect the Kelvin clips to the calibration standard. Make sure

the clips are as close together as possible. (Fig 2)

NOTE: Make sure the calibration standard is clean. The Kelvin

clips must be connected across the diameter of the standard.

Use the abrasive pad to clean the calibration standard.

NOTE: Make sure clips are as close together as possible. Use the

tips of the Kelvin clips when performing measurements on small

diameter wire.

5. Press and hold the ”CAL” button until all segments in the display

illuminate. This completes the calibration procedure and will

ensure all measurements are as accurate as possible.

6. Disconnect the leads from the standard.

Measuring Length of Wire

1. Turn the CLM100B on and perform the calibration procedure in

the “R” position.

2. Allow the CLM100B to attain the same temperature as the

wire under test.

NOTE: Temperature affects accuracy of readings. Please see

accuracy specifications. For best results, allow the CLM100 to

attain the same ambient temperature as the wire under test.

WARNING!

Make sure wire under test is not energized. Never apply voltage

to inputs.

3. Strip the insulation back on each end of the wire being tested.

NOTE: Make sure both ends of the wire under test are clean and

the conductor is fully exposed. The insulation must be stripped

away so the Kelvin clips can be connected across the diameter of

the wire. Use the abrasive pad to clean the wire ends.

4. Using the selector on the CLM100B, turn to the size of wire

under test.

5. Press the ”COPPER” button if copper wire is being tested.

8. Press the ”M” button if you require readings to be in meters.

The ”m” enunciator will illuminate in the display.

9. Connect a Kelvin clip to one end of the wire and the other

Kelvin clip to the other end of the wire.

10. Read the length of wire directly from the display. Please note

the ”k” enunciator illuminates if measurements are at or above

1000 feet/meters. For example, when the “k” enunciator is on

and you are measuring in feet, a reading of 15k ft would indicate

a length of 15000 ft.

11. Disconnect the test leads from the unit when not in use.

User Select Mode

This mode allows you to save the resistance of a user wire (see NOTE

below) for additional measurements of unknown lengths of the same

gauge wire. in addition, it enables you to accurately measure the length

of standard gauge wires. In this mode, you can measure the length of

any metal wire, the resistance of which can be measured, as well as

Copper or Aluminum wires.

NOTE: The sample length of user wires must be 20ft in FEET or 5m in

METERmode.

How to Save the Resistance of a User Wire

NOTE: You will need a 20’ (or 5M in meter mode) sample length of the

wire you are programming into the meter. This will measure the resist-

ance of that wire and store a value to correctly measure longer lengths.

1. Turn the CLM100B on and perform the calibration procedure in

the “R” position.

2. Allow the CLM100B to attain the same temperature as the

user wire.

WARNING!

Make sure wire under test is not energized. Never apply voltage

to inputs.

3. Strip the insulation back on each end of the wire being tested.

NOTE: Make sure both ends of the wire under test are clean and

the conductor is fully exposed. The insulation must be stripped

away so the Kelvin clips can be connected across the diameter of

the wire. Use the abrasive pad to clean the wire ends.

4. Using the selector on the CLM100B, turn to a required memory

location in the User Select range. The meter has 6 internal

memory locations from 1 to 6, and the selected memory location

number will illuminate at the top left corner of the display. If the

selected memory location is occupied, the display shows

“

8. Disconnect the test leads from the meter when not in use.

CLM100B-MAN P. 2

• When measuring wire for insertion into conduit, add extra wire

to compensate for the accuracy of the meter. For example, 205

feet of wire is needed to run inside a piece of conduit that is 200

feet long. (This would allow 2.5 feet on each end to attach the

wire.) At 205 feet and 70˚F, the cable length meter has an

accuracy of ±7 feet. In this case it would be safer to measure out

212 feet of wire. This would ensure that enough wire is available

for the application.

Low Battery Indication

The “BAT” enunciator will illuminate in the lower left side of the display

to indicate battery voltage is low. The battery should be changed

immediately to ensure proper function and accuracy. Only alkaline

9 Volt batteries should be used.

Measuring Resistance

1. If the resistance to be measured is wire, follow steps 1 through

3 under “Measuring Length of Wire.” Then follow steps 2 and 3

below. If a discrete resistor is being measured, turn the cable

length meter on and perform the calibration procedure.

2. Read the resistance of the wire directly from the display.

Operational Hints

• Never apply voltage to the inputs.
