Introduction 

Thank you for purchasing a PCE-VA 10 from PCE Instruments. 
The PCE-VA 10 is an essential tool for any technician dealing with air conditioners and ventilation 
systems, but also in fundamental research and development, the air speed meter can be a useful device. 
This favourably priced anemometer is highly accurate and has several functions which makes it suitable 
for various applications and competitive on the market. One special feature is the possibility to calculate 
the mean value of the measured data. The large LC display with backlight makes the data easily readable 
even under poor lighting conditions. The device can measure the wind speed as well as the air flow rate 
and air temperature. Since the instrument can determine the air velocity within less than a second, the 
data stay up to date and the results are always in real time. Its robust vane ensures precise and 
repeatable measurement results. When you define the area of measurement manually, the meter is also 
able to calculate the air flow rate in m³/min, which enables you to control the capacity of an air 
conditioner. The device is calibrated and thus immediately ready for operation. Moreover, it is easy to 
operate and lightweight.
