Peak Button
1. Select desired AC Current range.
2. Clamp around conductor to be measured.
3. Check you are measuring correctly.
4. Push the peak button once, the CM58 will display the minimum value
measured from point when the peak function was initialised.
5. Leave the CM58 measuring for the desired length of time.
6. Push hold button to stop measuring. Make a note of the minimum reading.
7. Push peak button once to read the Peak current reading.
8. Push Peak button again to clear the Peak readings and exit the Peak function.
Note:
Note: if leaving for longer than 30 minutes the auto power off feature will have to
be disabled.
Hold Button
1. Push the HOLD button whilst measuring to hold the reading on the display.
2. Push HOLD again to clear the reading.
Other Functions - Auto Power Off (APO)
Automatic power-off extends the life of the battery by turning the meter off, after
approximately 30 minutes of inactivity. To turn the meter back on, simply push the
range button or turn the meter off then back on. To over-ride APO, set the
function switch to off. Press and hold the RANGE button and turn the function
switch to any on position, then release the RANGE button.

4. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance consists of periodic cleaning and battery replacement.
Repairs or servicing not covered in this manual should only be performed by
qualified personnel.
4.1 Cleaning
The CM58 may be cleaned using a soft dry cloth. Do not use abrasives, solvents,
or detergents, which could be conductive.
4.2 Repair & Service
There are no user serviceable parts in this unit. Return to Martindale Electric
Company Ltd if faulty. Our service department will quote promptly to repair any
fault that may occur outside the guarantee period.
Before the unit is returned, please ensure that you have checked the unit and
associated leads thoroughly for flat batteries (check & replace), blown fuses
(check & replace) and other poor connections.
4.3 Storage Conditions
The clampmeter should be kept in warm dry conditions away from direct sources
of heat or sunlight, and in such a manner as to preserve the working life of the
unit. It is strongly advised that the unit is not kept in a tool box where other tools
may damage it.
5. WARRANTY
The CM58 is guaranteed against faults in manufacture and materials for 24
months from date of invoice and will be rectified by us free of charge, provided
the unit has not been tampered with and is returned to us with its housing
unopened. Damage due to dropping, abuse or misuse is not covered by this
guarantee. Batteries and fuses are not covered by this guarantee.
