  • Page 17 ® accumet CHOOSING A CHANNEL Using the Meter R E S E A R C H The accumet Research AR50 is a Multi-channel pH meter. With this meter you can switch from channel 1 to channel 2. You can also view both channels at the same time by accessing the dual channel mode.
  • Page 18: Button Functions

    When you touch stdby the meter will return to the standby screen which says “Fisher Scientific” and displays the time. This button allows you to access the channel screen to choose what channel you want to view. This button appears only on multichannel channel meters such as the accumet AR25 and AR50.
