Introduction 

Thank you for purchasing the Fisherbrand

 accumet

 

AB315 pH/mV bench meter. The accumet AB300 meters 
are designed to provide the important functions needed for 
routine measurements with simplified, convenient, easy-to-
use functionality.  

The accumet AB315 pH meters are capable of measuring 
pH, mV, relative mV (RmV) and temperature and offer a 
large, backlit display for clear viewing with small footprint to 
conserve laboratory bench space.  

Ensure important data is preserved with a 500-point data 
log with date/time stamp that can also be exported to a 
printer or computer using the meter communication port.  

All accumet AB315 pH meters include a meter-attached 
electrode holder and universal 100-240V power adapter 
with wall plugs for US/Japan, Euro, UK/Singapore, 
Australia/New Zealand and China. Additional meter 
accessories can be viewed at
