SIMPLE BATTERY-TEST
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 low-
cost tester has 4 non-scratch pads on the back-side of the meter that
allow you to test for conductive coatings (VIA CONTINUITY). Simply

APPLICATIONS
The CM1030 is a simple instrument that detects any conductive
surface,includingLowEcoatingsonsinglesheetsofglass.
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 ultra-
sensitivedesign,themeterisevencapableofdetectingmostcoatings
thatareprotectedbyathinprotectivedielectriccoating.
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
extensivetrainingtounderstandthemetersindication.
TheCM1030isgreatforidentifyingtheorientationoftheLowEglassasit
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
lowcostassistant.
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
labelingisavailableforthisproduct. ContactEDTMforinformation.
TESTINGSEALEDINSULATINGUNITS
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
alreadybeenassembled. Forapplicationswhereyouareworkingwith
sealedinsulatingglass(IG)units,upgradetothe"ETEKT+"Low ECoating
Detector (EDTM Model# AE1600). For sealed insulating units, the
AE1600 can take measurements without physically touching the
conductivecoating. ThisoffersatremendousadvantageifasealedIG

OPERATINGTHEMETER
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
thatisbeingtested. Tooperatethemeter,simplypressthebackside of
the meter firmly against the glass. The four pads should directly
contact the glass substrate being tested. If you are touching the
conductiveLowEcoating,the indicatorwilllighttosignalthecoatingis
onthetopsurface.
If the meter does not detect a conductive coating (LOW E), then flip
thepiece ofglass overandtakeanotherreading. Iftheindicatordoes
not light on either side of the glass, the glass is clear glass without any
conductivecoatings(NOLOWE)
DoNOTslidethemeter aroundthe glass,asthis couldpotentially 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
beforetakingareading.
DoNOTpushthe"Battery Test" push-buttonwhile takinga 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. DoNOTapplyanyexternalvoltagesourcestothepads
