2.6 Electrode Information
The accumet AB315 pH/mV meter is compatible with pH
electrodes and ORP (redox) electrodes with a BNC
connector. The accumet AB315 pH/mV meter can be
purchased in a meter only configuration (purchase
electrode separately) or kitted with different electrodes.
Refer to the electrode instructions for specific care and
maintenance procedures. The following are general
recommendations for electrode preparation.
Remove the protective cap/bottle from the
electrode and save for storage.
Rinse any salt deposits off the electrode using
distilled or deionized water.
If the electrode is refillable, uncover the fill hole and
add filling solution to the electrode up to the fill
hole. The fill hole should remain open when the
electrode is in use.

preparing the electrode and when the electrode is
not in use.
Connect the electrode to the meter.

screens, starting with all segments lit screen, followed by
the meter info screen and then the meter self-test screen.
The meter info screen shows the meter model number and
