Page 10: Date & Time
Timed: When either printing or datalog is ON, the option to select Timed readings ON or OFF appears. Select “ON” to automatically print or save data at selectable intervals. Select “OFF” to save data manually using the PRINT/ENTER key. Time Interval: (MM:SS) (Minutes:Seconds). When timed reading is ON, you must select an interval at which the data will be sent to the Printer and/or Datalog memory. -
Page 11: Fact Reset
FACT RESET Select “YES” to reset the to the factory default settings except; Date & Time setting, and data stored into memory. CONTRAST Optimize the contrast setting of your display for best visibility in your surrounding lighting conditions. Test various contrast settings for best results. This setting will be applied to both backlight and non-backlight conditions. -
Page 12: Setup Ph & Mv
Setup pH & mV Use Setup pH or mV mode to customize these parameters. Note: mV setup offers Alarm setting only. Press SETUP from the measurement screen and then press ENTER when pH or mV is selected. BUFFER (pH Only) Choose one of (5) pH buffer groups for calibration;... -
Page 13: Ph Standardization (With Preset Buffer Group)
pH Standardization (With Preset Buffer Group) For best results, periodic standardization (calibration) with known accurate standards is recommended prior to measurement. Use standards that bracket your intended measuring range while including a neutral point (7.00, 6.86, or 6.79). For example, if you expect to measure samples from pH 6.2 to 9.5, calibration with 4.01, 7.00, and 10.01 will work well. -
Page 14: Ph Standardization (With Custom Buffers)
5) Press STD to accept the value of the measured buffer. If successful, the Standardization Report will show the accepted value along with other data. The percentage slope is visible after two or more calibration points have been completed. 6) Repeat Steps 4 & 5 with additional pH buffers. pH Standardization (With Custom Buffers) Buffer Group pH Values... -
Page 15: Mv Standardization (Offset Adjustment)
mV Standardization (Offset Adjustment) Oxidization Reduction Potential (ORP or Redox) as measured by an ORP electrode in milliVolt (mV) units is not a precise measurement, but is useful as a relative indicator. As such, mV offset adjustment is not meant to enhance accuracy, but rather to make readings comparable to a reference. -
Page 16: Temperature Standardization
Temperature Standardization The thermistor sensor used for automatic temperature compensation and measurement is both accurate and stable, so require frequent calibration isn’t required. Temperature calibration is recommended upon electrode replacement, whenever the temperature reading is suspect, or if matching against a certified thermometer is desired. -
Page 17: Conductivity, Tds, Salinity, & Resistivity Setup
Conductivity, TDS, Salinity, & Resistivity Setup Use Setup mode to customize Conductivity, TDS, Salinity, & Resistivity parameters. Press SETUP from the measurement screen and then press ENTER when Conductivity, TDS, Salinity, or Resistivity is selected. STD METHOD (Conductivity Mode Only) Choose automatic or manual standardization for conductivity, and manual standardization for TDS, Salinity, and Resistivity. -
Page 18: Pure Wat Coef (Pure Water Coefficient)
PURE WAT COEF (Pure Water Coefficient) Choose ENABLE to automatically apply pure water temperature correction for measurements below 2 µS/cm (ultra pure water). Note: this option does not apply to Salinity mode. TEMP COEFFICIENT (Linear) The temperature coefficient is the amount of change in conductivity per degree temperature (% per ºC). -
Page 19: Alarm
ALARM Use a visual and audible alarm to alert you when High or Low values that have been set from this menu are exceeded. “High” or “Low” will blink on the display if the values are exceeded while simultaneously, a loud, intermittent beeping sound is heard. -
Page 20: Cond/Tds/Salinity/Resistivity Standardization (Manual Adjustment)
Additional Notes On Automatic Conductivity Calibration: A maximum of one calibration point per range can be performed. If multiple calibration points are used in the same range, the most recent one will replace the previous one. If the electrode is replaced, it is best to clear the calibration to the factory default values. - Page 21 4) The upper display is the active reading while the lower display is the factory default value. Use the ▲/▼ keys to adjust the upper display to match the desired value. 5) Press STD after ‘Stable’ appears to confirm the value. The calibrated value, Range (R) that was calibrated and the calculated cell constant are now shown.

Page 22: Ion Setup
Ion Setup Use Setup ISE mode to customize this parameter. Press SETUP from the measurement screen and then press ENTER when ISE is selected. MEASURE UNIT Select ppm, molar, or mg/L ion concentration units. ALARM The AB250 offers a visual and audible alarm to alert you when the High or Low values that have been set from this menu are exceeded. -
Page 23: Ion Standardization
Ion Standardization The AB250 can measure ion concentration such as ammonia or fluoride when using an ion selective electrode (ISE) for the specific ion of interest. Ion standardization is required with at least two calibration standards in order for the instrument to calculate the measurement. The primary display will show “- - - -”... -
