1  Introduction 

 
Thank you for purchasing a vane anemometer PCE-VA 20 from PCE Instruments. 
The vane anemometer PCE-VA 20 is able to measure air volume flow, air velocity and parameters like air 
temperature and relative humidity. The gauge is extremely easy to handle and has a wide range of 
application. With the multi-

point and time average function, it’s possible to perform average measuring’s. 

It is possible to add an airflow cone set (round or square), which makes the device to a multifunctional 
gauge with a wide range of possibilities.
