The Greenlee CLM-1000 and CLM-1000E Cable Length
Meters are hand-held testing devices with the following measurement capabilities: resistance, temperature,
and length. They can be used as μΩ meters to measure
precise bonding resistances. The primary function of these
meters is to calculate the length of cable based upon its
material, temperature, and cable gauge. Cable material
type can be either uncoated copper or aluminum. There
are 20 pre-programmed and eight programmable cable
gauges. (There are no strands per cable specification for
the eight programmable switch positions.)
The pre-programmed switch positions
for the CLM-1000are:

Auto Power Off (APO): When enabled, the meter will
tically turn OFF after 10 minutes of inactiv-
automa
ity. Inactivity is defined as no button press or rotary
switch movement. The buzzer sounds three times
approximately 30 seconds before the meter turns OFF
as a warning. To disable APO, press and hold the HOLD
button while turning the meter ON.

Operating Procedure
1. If the unit does not function as expected on a known
functioning configuration, replace the batteries.
If the unit still does not function as expected, call
Greenlee for technical assistance at 800-435-0786.
2. Refer to “Typical Measurements” for specific measurement instructions.
3. The meter does not compensate for manufacturing
tolerances of various cable manufacturers.
4. Before making a measurement, ensure the following:
• Cable conductors have been cleaned with
abrasive material to remove oxide layer and other
contaminants.
• Kelvin clip jaws are clean.
• Both the cable and meter are at the same
temperature.
• Cable conductor material must be either aluminum
or copper.

To measure odd cable sizes:
• AWG (5,
•
•
7, 9, 11 AWG, etc.) (CLM-1000):
measuring odd numbered cable sizes, set the rotar
switch to the next smaller size, and multiply the
reading by 1.261.
For example, to measure a 9 AWG length of cable,
set the rotary switch to 10 AWG. Then multiply the
reading by 1.261 to get the length.
kcmil (CLM-1000): When measuring odd
numbered cable sizes, set the rotar
1000kcmil. Divide kcmil size of cable being measured by 1000, and then multiply this number by the
meter’s length reading.
For example, 477 kcmil cable is being measured.
The multiplier becomes 477/1000 = 0.477. Take
the value shown with the rotary switch in the 1000
kcmil position and multiply it by 0.477 to get the
length.

mm
(CLM-1000E): When measuring odd
numbered cable sizes, set the rotary switch to
500mm2. Divide mm2 size of cable being mea-
sured by 500, and then multiply this number by the
meter’s length reading.
For example, 289 mm2 cable is being measured.
The multiplier becomes 289/500 = 0.596. Take the
value shown with the rotary switch in the 500 mm2
position and multiply it by 0.596 to get the length.

Programming Procedure
1. Calibrate meter according to “Calibration Procedure.”
2. Obtain known length of cable between 30 ft and
320ft (9 m and 97.5 m) long. Cable must be aluminum or copper.
3. Set rotary switch to desired location. Programmable
location appears on the LCD. If the location has
already been programmed, “OL” appears on the LCD.
If it has not, “no” appears.
Note: Data in a programmed location can be deleted.
With Kelvin clips removed from cable and rotary
switch turned to location to delete, press MEM button.
4. Press CAL button.
5. Enter the known length of cable in feet or meters.
Useqp arrows.
6. Select “Cu” or “Al”.
7. Connect Kelvin clips to the conductor on each end of
the cable.
8. Press MEM button. “MEM” and dashes appear on the
LCD. After approximately 1 second, “donE” appears
on the LCD if programming was successful. If “FAIL”
appears, check connections and repeat procedure.
