FLIR CM57 User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the FLIR CM55 and CM57 True RMS AC Flexible Clamp Meters. This document describes devices that can measure up to 3000A AC current with their flexible clamps. They also have features like Bluetooth, data recording, and work lights, all detailed in this guide. I'm ready to answer your questions about these meters and their functionalities.
  • What is the maximum current that the FLIR CM55 and CM57 can measure?
    What is the battery life of the FLIR CM55 and CM57?
    What is the purpose of the work lights on the FLIR CM55 and CM57?
    What is the maximum range of Bluetooth communication?
