Thank you for selecting the Fisher Scientific accumet XL series benchtop meter. All models include an electrode arm with
metal bracket (13-637-671), 100/240 universal power supply (13-636-104), RS-232, and USB cable. This instrument incorporates
a full color touch screen which can be controlled by a finger or an optional USB mouse. Avoid damage to the display by
keeping display from contact with chemicals, hot liquids, and all sharp or pointed objects. This instruction sheet serves five

models, so not all information presented here is relevant to each model.

100/240 Universal Power
Supply (13-636-104)

Administration: Use to create and edit user login ID

profiles and passwords.

System Setup: Use to configure and view system

settings. These include stirrer speed, printer, touch
screen calibration, date & time and brightness settings.

Multi Channel: Use to display measurement mode of

multiple channels simultaneously. Not available with XL150.

Single Channel: Use to display one measurement mode.

Note: Single Channel is required to access the Standardi­zation mode, Printing function, and on-screen graphing.

RS-232 USB Cable

Setup: Use to customize changes to the

measurement parameter.

Print: Use to print data manually from measurement

mode. If you selected the “LOG DATA” option in the
“Print Criteria” setup, the Print icon in the measurement
mode will send data to the printer. Available from

single-channel measurement display only.

Log Data: Use to save the current measurement data

manually to memory. Sample ID entry is required before
data can be saved (this is available from Setup).

Connect the metal electrode
bracket to the base of
the meter using a Phillips
screwdriver. The bracket
may be attached to the left,
right, or center according to
your preference.

Attach the electrode arm to the
bracket & tighten the wing nut.
Purchase an additional arm/bracket
(13-637-671) to utilize two arms in left
& right positions simultaneously.

If the instrument will be wall
mounted using the wall mount holes,
the electrode arm should be removed
from the bracket.

Attach electrodes and output cables as
required into the corresponding ports of
the meter.

Prior to attaching pH, ORP, or Ion
electrodes, the BNC shorting cap
(13-620-99) should be removed.
Do not discard the shorting cap.
This cap is useful for simulating a 0 mV
signal and also as a protective covering
when the BNC connection is not in use.
A strap will retain the cap in place when
an electrode is connected.

Display Setup: Use to configure the display options and

select input parameters.

Standardize: Use to standardize (calibrate) the

desired parameter. Note: Available from single-channel
measurement display only and not used for mV / relative
mV offset adjustment.

Measure: Use to resume live measurement after

“Auto Read” function has been activated and the
measurement is frozen. Note: Not available with mV,

BOD, OUR, or SOUR display.

Mode: Use to change operation modes. Also use to

gain access to Administration, System Setup, About,
and Internet Explorer icons.

Log View: View saved data in memory on the display.

Standardization View: View standardization

(calibration) data on the display.

Stirrer A/B: On/Off control of optional stirring probe

(13-620-BSP) connected to corresponding Stirrer port A
or Stirrer port B.

IExplorer: Internet Explorer mobile browser.

Note: sound and video are not enabled.

Help: Provides screen specific help from various screens.

Standardization (Calibration)

For best results, Standardize with one or more calibration standards prior to
measurement. From single-channel display mode, press “Standardize” to begin
standardization. Rinse your electrode with clean water and immerse in your first
calibration standard. When the reading is stable, press “Confirm” to accept the
value, and repeat with additional standards. Press “Clear” to erase all values.
