    6.2 Calibration standard Always protect the calibration standard from dust, moisture and other environmental factors. It is recommended to keep it stored in the ZRM 6006 case. The standard values measured in the factory as well as the serial number of the corresponding instrument can be found on the sticker on the inside of the standard.

  • Page 14: Measure

    Measure After switching on the ZRM 6006 a splash screen is displayed, which shows the firmware version. After about 2 seconds the instrument switches to the main screen, displaying the measured values, the temperature and the relative humidity. Additionally the battery and charger status and eventual warnings (BAT LO, BAT CRIT) are displayed.

  • Page 16: Measuring Profiled Markings From 5-12 Mm

    Ensure that the marking you want to measure is as flat as possible along in the whole range of the measuring instrument. Otherwise, the measuring geometry would be adulterated. Crooked or twisted samples will cause incorrect measuring results. For unevenness from -1 mm up to 5 mm, the given measuring geometry is warranted The procedure for measurement in the laboratory is the same.

  • Page 17: Getting Started

    7.2.1 Getting started The procedure is shown on the ZRM 6013. The shown procedure is identical for the devices ZRM 6006, ZRM 6013 and ZRM 6013+. Locate the two indicators on the Retroreflectometer “measuring area” and “measuring direction”. Point A is at the end of the arrow: “measuring direction”, Point B is at the end line of the “measuring area”.

    7.2.2 Measurements with profile distances under 300 mm Place the instrument on the profile whereas Point B is on the middle of the profiled marking, take a measurement. Chosen profile Move the instrument forward for approximately 5 cm and take the next measurement.
  • Page 19 Move the instrument forward once again, so that Point A is in the middle of the profiled marking and take a measurement. Chosen profile Make the average value of the three measurements. Repeating this procedure on further measuring points ensures a better accuracy.

  • Page 20: Measurements With Profile Distances Over 300 Mm

    7.2.3 Measurements with profile distances over 300 mm If the distance between two profiles of the marking is more than 300 mm, a support plate is needed to make sure the device sits even on the marking. The support plate has to have the same height as the profile of the marking to be measured.

  • Page 22 Move the instrument together with the support plate forward once again, so that Point A is in the middle of the profiled marking and take a measurement. Chosen profile Make the average value of the three measurements. Repeating this procedure on further measuring points ensures a better accuracy.

  • Page 23: Explanation Of Profile Measurements

    7.2.4 Explanation of profile measurements On the most profiled markings, the face of the profile gives back a higher value than the top of the profile. By moving the device and taking several measurements, you will get back a value that judges the face and the top of the profile. Principle of R measurement: (The testing instruments are built in accordance with this illustration in reduced scale.)

  • Page 24: Wet Measurements

    7.3 Wet measurements The ZRM 6006 is perfectly suitable for measuring night and day visibility on wet roads and on moistened road markings (e.g. according to the “bucket” method) • Set a timer (e.g. stopwatch) depending on the standards • Moisten the road marking in the required way, e.g.

  • Page 25: Built-In Battery And Charging

    Built-in battery and charging 8.1 Battery The used Li-Ion-Mn battery has a very high capacity. The capacity is continuously being observed. When the voltage becomes too weak the battery sign appears on the display and the battery has to be charged. In order to prevent a damage of the battery, the instrument switches automatically off before the battery is completely empty.

The observation angle of 2.29° corresponds to the viewing distance of a vehicle driver of 30 m under normal conditions. The illumination angle is 1.24°. The angle definitions above are valid for EN 1436.
