Important Safety Information
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage between any two input
terminals, or between any input terminal and earth ground.
• Do not contact the test lead tips or any uninsulated portion of the
accessory.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock and fire hazard:
• Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
• Do not use the unit if it is wet or damaged.
• Use test leads or accessories that are appropriate for the application.
Refer to the category and voltage rating of the test lead or accessory.
• Inspect the test leads or accessory before use. They must be clean and
dry, and the insulation must be in good condition.
• Use this unit for the manufacturer’s intended purpose only, as
described in this manual. Any other use can impair the protection
provided by the unit.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
Contact with live circuits could result in severe
injury or death.

CMT-90
Important Safety Information
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not operate with the case or battery cover open.
• Before removing the case or battery cover, remove the test leads
(or jaw) from the circuit and shut off the unit.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
• Unless measuring voltage or current, shut off and lock out power. Make
sure that all capacitors are discharged. Voltage must not be present.
• Using this unit near equipment that generates electromagnetic
interference can result in unstable or inaccurate readings.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not attempt to repair this unit. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
• Do not expose the unit to extremes in temperature or high humidity.
Refer to “Specifications.”
• Do not connect to voltage for longer than 30 seconds.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and can damage
the unit.
Electric shock hazard:
Do not use the meter to measure voltages in circuits that could be
damaged by the meter’s low input impedance (approximately 4 kΩ).
Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury and can damage the
unit.

*The crest factor is the ratio of the peak value to the RMS value; it is
represented by the Greek letter ξ.
AC Measurement
AC measurements are usually displayed as RMS (root mean squared) values.
Two methods of AC measurement are
average-responding RMS calibrated
and
true RMS-reading.
The average-responding RMS calibrated method takes the average value of
the input signal, 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, a square wave, sawtooth wave,
half wave or signal with harmonics. The ability to read true RMS provides
much more measurement versatility. The Greenlee CMT-90 is a true RMS
meter.
The Waveforms and Crest Factors table shows some typical AC signals and
their RMS values.

Operation
2. Refer to “Typical Measurements”for specific measurement instructions.
3. Test the unit on a known functioning circuit or component of the type you
intend to measure.
•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, send the unit to Greenlee
for repair. Refer to the instructions under the Warranty.
4. Take the reading from the circuit or component to be tested.
Note: Momentarily press the ON/OFF/HOLD button to hold the present
measurement on the display; momentarily press again to return to the normal
display mode. Press and hold to turn the unit off.

Typical Measurements
Current Measurement—
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.
Current Measurement—
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
accurate measurement.
•Center the line splitter in the jaw for highest
accuracy.
