5. Ice 6. Snow or hoar frost. After power-up or reset, the SurfaceVue 10 sends a wake-up string containing the sensor name and version information. Approximately 10 seconds after the initial message, it automatically sends a data message when a measurement/calculation cycle is complete; typically, once every 10 seconds. -
Page 4: Precautions
Technical specifications (p. 4). IMPORTANT: The SurfaceVue 10 should be calibrated when the surface is dry, and it should be re-calibrated after installation, if the distance to target is changed, or the surface type is changed, such as road resurfacing. -
Page 5: Overview
The measurement method is optimized for a standard stony asphalt surface. The signal levels of the SurfaceVue 10 unit are factory calibrated for a dry surface. Water and ice on the road surface attenuate the reflected light as compared to the calibrated values. The degree of signal attenuation depends on the amount of ice or water. -

SurfaceVue 10 has been comprehensively tested by third parties and copies of those reports are available at https://www.teconer.fi/en/surface-condition-friction-measurements/ .The tests indicate that the accuracy of the SurfaceVue 10 friction reading measured as a standard deviation of the difference to an absolute physical friction meter is on the order of 0.10. This accuracy is adequate for winter maintenance purposes. - Page 7 Operating temperature range: –40 to 60 °C (–40 to 140 °F) Operating humidity range 0 to 100% Power consumption @ 12 VDC <100 mA (typical) Supply voltage range 9 to 30 VDC Digital output RS-232, RS-485 (with RS485EXT) Warm-up time 1 min SurfaceVue 10 5...

Page 8: Installation
7. Installation The SurfaceVue 10 is designed to measure asphalt or concrete road or runway surfaces. It is typically installed permanently to a large pole or lattice tower and aimed at the measuring surface. There are multiple sensors to consider when choosing a location and installing the sensor. -
Page 9: Install Sensor
The recommended installation height for a SurfaceVue 10 smart sensor is 3 to 5 meters (10 to 16 feet). Sensors can be installed higher if required. However, the higher the sensor is installed, the larger the surface measurement area will be. This increases the risk of sensing the temperature of unwanted objects. - Page 10 Tighten enough so the bands stay in place but can be moved vertically. 2. Position the bracket at the SurfaceVue 10 desired height and facing the road surface. Bracket installation 3.

Page 14: Crbasic Programming
A downloadable example program is available at https://www.campbellsci.com/downloads/surfacevue10-example-program . The SerialOut(), SerialIn(), and SerialInRecord() instructions program a data logger to communicate with the SurfaceVue 10 using RS-232. Use SplitStr() to separate the returned data. NOTE: The standard serial configuration is RS-232, 38400 baud, 8N1. The optional RS485EXT converter box has the same serial configuration. -

CAUTION: Before proceeding with any maintenance, always retrieve the data first. CAUTION: Always disconnect the SurfaceVue 10 from the data logger or the connector before disassembling. Recommended equipment and supplies: ... - Page 17 Electronics-grade alcohol or suitable glass cleaner Distilled water The SurfaceVue 10 is designed to require minimal annual maintenance. Recommended maintenance includes: Check the cleanness of the surface-condition sensor window. Use a bulb air blower to remove any large contaminants from the lens. Clean the lens with a lint free lens cloth or lens tissue.

If there is a need to adjust these readings, consult Campbell Scientific. The SurfaceVue 10 is factory calibrated for a dry road surface at a distance of about 5 m from the sensor to the measurement spot. When the calibration is correct and the sensor window is clean, the Road condition index should report Dry and Grip should be near 0.81 for a completely dry... -
