Multi-Function Accurately measure resistance, diode, continuity. Easy to use in laboratory factories and homes. Test AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current The CM83E Clamp Meter can accurately measure AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Use the test leads to get the reading quickly and accurately. Diode Tester This clamp meter can measure resistance. The measuring range of Diode is 0.15V~2.5V,Accuracy: 0.001V. HOLD Function "HOLD"can “freeze” the readings so you can record them. If you need to write down the readings for later use, a hold button is indispensable. Auto Power Off After being idle for more than 10 minutes, the instrument will enter automatically in standby mode in order to save power. How to turn off this auto shutoff feature? Turn off the meter and turn it back on while you press the HOLD key. Low Battery Indicator When the low battery indicator appears on the LCD, it means that the battery is low,then the batteries need to be changed. ZERO Function AC/DC Current Clamp Meter The measuring range of AC current is 60A~600A,Accuracy: ±(3%+10). The measuring range of DC current is 0A~600A,Accuracy: ±(3%+10). To measure the current you need to clamp the meter around one of the wires and not the whole power cord. The power cord contains two wires carrying current and ground wire. The current in two wires always flows in opposite directions, so the magnetic fields from two wires canceling each other, therefore the meter reads 0 A. Technical Indicators

Review: good tool - Ok. So... this thing works great. seems to be pretty accurate. The only thing i know of is you have to make sure you firmly press the leads into the meter. Secondly, and may not really be a problem in most situations, is the read time. The amount of readings it takes in a set amount of time. So compared to my Snap On meter, this thing reads slow. This isn't an issue for me really. I have different meters used for different things. this one works great for testing out electrical systems without having to disconnect anything. Overall, a great tool for the money

## Questions & Answers

**Q: with the clamp meter can you measure amps in DC ?what is the maximum dc amperage it will measure?**
A: Yes, in fact I purchased this clamp meter to be able to measure current flowing to my car starter when cranking engine, and it really works well for that.  the maximum amps is 600 amps with 0.1mA resolution.

**Q: This tester seems very slow to obtain readings, I mean compared to cheaper units it is slooow is there something wrong with it? Batteries are new!**
A: The only reading that takes a second or so on mine is the capistor test.  All other reading seem fine.  Maybe you got a defective unit.

**Q: Where can I download a mestek cm86b pdf owners manual?**
A: Mine came with one, but if you misplaced it, or it didn't have one, you may be out of luck.  I went to the MFG's website and did not see a selection to acquire a manual.   However, you may want to contact them directly via the contact page of the site, and if you're lucky they may not only respond, but have one they could send you.

**Q: how accurate is th DC current measurment?**
A: It is accurate.It has an acceptable range of tolerance.DC Current: 60A/600A ±3.0%

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good buy for the money.
*by 4***S on March 4, 2026*

Works very well for the price. My cousin is a IBEW Union professional electrician. He came to visit & lend his knowledge with a project I had going on for a (home generator) install. He asked if I had a meter so I handed his this little jewel. He turned it ON & used it to see what my overall amperage draw was for the entire house under it's max load. He complimented it being as accurate as his daily used one. Sure it doesn't have all of the options his professional FLUKE branded does but he was very surprised that it performed as well as it did when I told how much I paid for .... that's good enough for me!
