Important environmental information about this product
This symbol on the device or the package indicates that disposal of the device after its lifecycle could harm
the environment. Do not dispose of the unit (or batteries) as unsorted municipal waste; it should be taken to

Thank you for buying the EVM2050! Please read the manual thoroughly before bringing this device into service.
If the device was damaged in transit, don't install or use it and contact your dealer.
The EVM2050 allows you to measure the sound level in virtually every acoustic environment (high or low frequency,
high or low sound levels, broadband, interrupted or continuous). It can be used to measure the noise level in
factories, schools, offices and airports, or to test the acoustics of studios, theatres and hi-fi installations. The
EVM2050 has an easily readable result readout, which allows swift measurements in any location.
• Battery level readout (see §3)
• 7 selectable ranges: for 50 to 126dB measurements (see §4)
• RCA output: to connect the device to a hi-fi installation or test equipment (see §5)
• Measuring frequency: fast / slow response: to measure sound peaks or average sound levels (see §6)
• A & C weighting: for acoustic analyses and measurements (see §7)

3. Battery
The EVM2050 requires one 9V battery. Alkaline batteries usually give better results and last longer. Open the battery
compartment and remove the old battery. Insert the new one. Mind the polarity.
To test the battery, put the RANGE selector to BATT: if the meter moves to the BATT TEST area, the battery is OK.
REMARKS:
• Set the RANGE selector to OFF when you are not using the EVM2050. That way the battery will last longer.
• Remove the battery when you will not be using the EVM2050 for a while.
