  • Page 24: Wet Measurements

    8.3.3 Wet measurements The Zehntner ZRM 6010 is perfectly suitable for measuring night visibility on wet road markings according EN 1436 and ASTM E2177 (“bucket” method) or for measuring night visibility under contiouous wetting using a rain simulator according ASTM E2832 or EN 1436.

  • Page 25: Measurements With Picture

    8.3.4 Measurements with picture If the instrument is equipped with the optional camera pictures to a measurement can be taken. The usage of this option is described more deeply in chapter 10.1.1 “Taking measurements with picture” on page 33. 8.3.5 Edit, delete and store measurements To add location, manufacturer and other info to a measuring value, tap the measurement you want to edit.

  • Page 26: Information For A Proper Measuring Procedure

    If there is significant unevenness in the road marking use the positioning support. 8.5 Measuring profiled markings The Zehntner ZRM 6010 is capable of measuring profiled road markings with profiles of heights between -1mm up to +15 mm. The measuring geometry is according to the standards EN 1436 and ASTM E1710 within this range.
  • Page 27 Profiled road markings are not homogenous considering their retroreflection (normally the front side has a higher retroreflection value than the upper side). Cause of that measuring of a profiled road marking means that an average value from several measurements has to be calculated which respects all areas on and between the profiles evenly.

  • Page 28: Procedure Of Measurement

    8.5.2 Procedure of measurement Activate the averaging mode by touching the symbol . This is acknowledged by showing the checking mark Place the instrument on the profiled road mark in a way that the first mark on the positioning support lays on the front edge of a specific profile.
  • Page 29 Repeat the last step n times until you measured a sufficient number of profile sections and the first mark on the positioning support is on the front edge of a profile again. Do not execute a measurement on the last postion! You measured this kind of position with the first measurement already.

  • Page 30: Comments To The Measurement Of Profiled Road Marks

    8.5.3 Comments to the measurement of profiled road marks Most oft he profiled road marks have a higher retroreflection value on the front side than on the upper side. By measuring several places of a profile an average value over the whole profile is calculated, which respects front and upper side evenly and therefore integrates the overall impression of the road mark.

  • Page 31: Local Regulations

    8.6 Local regulations Please observe that some countries have regulations regarding the measuring procedure. E.g. it could be regulated how many measurements must be taken. Please inform about your local regulations. 8.7 Obtain exact measuring values Ensure that the marking to be measured is as flat as possible along the whole measuring range of the device, otherwise the measuring angles would change.
