WARNING
● Read through and understand instructions contained in this
manual before starting using the instrument.
● Save and keep the manual handy to enable quick reference
whenever necessary.
● In order to avoid injury, or damage to the instrument or the
circuit under test, be sure to understand and follow all safety
instructions contained in the manual.
● Be sure to use the instrument only in its intended applications
an d t o f ol lo w mea su re me nt pr oc edures described in the
manual.

Following symbols are used on the instrument and in the instruction
manual. Attention should be paid to each symbol to ensure your
safety.
Refer to the instructions in the manual.
This symbol is marked where the user must refer to the
instruction manual so as not to cause personal injury or
instrument damage.
Indicates an instrument with double or reinforced insulation.
DANGER
●Never make measurement on a circuit above 600V AC.
● Do not attempt to ma ke measuremen t in th e presence of
flammable gasses, fumes, vapor or dust. Otherwise, the use
of the instrument may cause sparking, which can lead to an
explosion.
● Transformer jaw tips are designed not to short the circuit under
test. If equipment under test has exposed conductive parts,
however, extra precau tion should be taken to minimize the
possibility of shorting.
● Never op en the bat tery compar tm ent co ve r when making
measurement.
● Never try to make measurement if any abnormal conditions,
such as broken Transformer jaws or case is noted.
● The instrument is be used only in its intended applications
or conditions. Otherwise,Safety functions equipped with the
instrument doesn't work, and instrument damage or serious
personal injury may be caused.

WARNING
● Never attempt to make any measurement if any abnormal
conditions are noted, such as broken case, cracked test leads
and exposed metal parts.
● Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the
instrument. Return the instrument to Kyoritsu or your distributor
for repair or re-calibration.
● Do not try to replace the battery if the surface of the instrument
is wet.
CAUTION
● Ma ke sure t ha t the funct io n sel ector swit ch is set to an
appropriate position before making measurement.
● Be sure to set the function selector switch to the OFFposition
after use. When the instrument will not be use for a long period
of time, place it in storage after removing the battery.
This is to avoid damage to the instrument by possible leakage
from the battery.
● Do not ex po se the instrument to th e direct sun, extr em e
temperatures or dew fall.
● Placing the instrument in temperatures of 60℃ or higher can
cause the instrument's case to deform and result in operation
failures.

2. FEATURES
○ Model 2417 offers True RMS measurement capability.
○ Designed for measurements of AC Leakage and AC current with
five ranges from 200 mA to 500 A. AC 200 mA range provides a
high resolution of 0.1 mA.
○ Least affected by external magnetic field.
○ Provides dual frequency responses of fundamental 50/60Hz only
or up to 1kHz. The frequency response of up to 1kHz permits
measurements of current with harmonics superimposed on the
fundamental frequency. High frequency current from appliances
such as inverters, switching regulators etc. can therefore be
measured.
○ Data hold function to allow for easy readings in dimly lit or hard-
to-reach locations.
○ Large easy-to-read LCD display.
○ Automatic power off within 30 minutes to conserve battery life.
