CM1030 WARRANTY

The manufacturer warrants all models of the CM1030 to be free from defects in material
and workmanship under normal use and service as specified within the operator's
manual. The manufacturer shall repair or replace the unit within ninety (90) days from the
original date of shipment after the unit is returned to the manufacturers factory, prepaid
by the user, and the unit is disclosed to the manufacturers satisfaction, to be thus
defective. This warranty shall not apply to any unit that has been repaired or altered
other than by the manufacturer. The aforementioned provisions do not extend the
original warranty period of the unit which has been repaired or replaced by the
manufacturer. Batteries are not covered by warranty.

EDTM, Inc. assumes no liability for the consequential damages of any kind through the
use or misuse of the CM1030 product by the purchaser or others. No other obligations or
liabilities are expressed or implied. All damage or liability claims will be limited to an
amount equal to the sale price of the CM1030.

PUSH-BUTTON

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The CM1030 is powered by a 9 volt battery. To test the battery voltage, simply push the
Battery Test button on the front of the meter. If the indicator lights, the battery voltage is
sufficient to operate the meter. If the indicator appears dim, you may choose to
replace the battery. To replace the battery, remove the battery cover near the
bottom of the meter and replace with a new battery. Alkaline batteries will provide the
longest service, but are not required for this product.

The CM1030 is a simple instrument that detects any conductive
surface, including Low E coatings on single sheets of glass. The low­cost tester has 4 non-scratch pads on the back-side of the meter that
allow you to test for conductive coatings (VIA CONTINUITY). Simply
press the meter against a piece of glass to determine if the surface you
are touching contains any conductive (Low E) coatings.

APPLICATIONS

The CM1030 is a simple instrument that detects any conductive
surface, including Low E coatings on single sheets of glass.

The meter has a unique design that allows you to easily test hard coat
(pyrolytic) or soft coat (sputter) Low E coatings. Because of the ultra­sensitive design, the meter is even capable of detecting most coatings
that are protected by a thin protective dielectric coating.

The CM1030 is the ideal product for the manufacturing environment.
For production environments where hand-held products tend to
disappear and get abused, the low cost CM1030 is a great addition.
Due to the simplicity of the meter, production personnel do not require
extensive training to understand the meters indication.

The CM1030 is great for identifying the orientation of the Low E glass as it
is being placed into the washers or assembled into insulating glass
assemblies. It also can be valuable in edge deletion applications,
where the operator must confirm the Low E side of the glass. All Low E
handlers in the production environment should be equipped with this
low cost assistant.

Because of its professional appearance and low price, the CM1030
provides a GREAT sales aid to be distributed to your customers. Help
your customers reduce their mistakes in handling Low E glass. Private
labeling is available for this product. Contact EDTM for information.

TESTING SEALED INSULATING UNITS

The CM1030 must physically come into contact with the conductive
(Low E) coating in order to detect it (continuity measurement).
Therefore the CM1030 can NOT be used to test IG units that have
already been assembled. For applications where you are working with
sealed insulating glass (IG) units, upgrade to the "ETEKT+" Low E Coating
Detector (EDTM Model# AE1600). For sealed insulating units, the
AE1600 can take measurements without physically touching the
conductive coating. This offers a tremendous advantage if a sealed IG
unit must be tested for the invisible Low E coating, either in the factory or
in the field.

OPERATING THE METER

The back-side of the meter contains four (4) non-scratch nickel-plated
pads. These pads are used to contact the coating or glass substrate
that is being tested. To operate the meter, simply press the back side of
the meter firmly against the glass. The four pads should directly
contact the glass substrate being tested. If you are touching the
conductive Low E coating, the indicator will light to signal the coating is
on the top surface.

If the meter does not detect a conductive coating (LOW E), then flip
the piece of glass over and take another reading. If the indicator does
not light on either side of the glass, the glass is clear glass without any
conductive coatings (NO LOW E)

Do NOT slide the meter around the glass, as this could potentially leave
streaks on the glass substrate. Simply apply a firm pressure on the
meter, and it will identify the presence of conductive coatings. If the
glass is covered with a powder separator, it may be necessary to take
several readings to confirm the pads are contacting the glass directly,
and not being insulated from the glass by the powder separator. It is
recommended that you clear the powder from a section of the glass
before taking a reading.

Do NOT push the "Battery Test" push-button while taking a reading. The
Battery Test button will automatically turn on the indicator. This button
should only be pushed when the user wants to test the strength of the
battery.

The meter is powered by a 9 volt battery inside the battery
compartment. Do NOT apply any external voltage sources to the pads
of the meter, as this will damage the electronics.
