ZRM 6006 RL-Qd – Zehntner

Entry-Level Retroreflectometer for Road Safety Measurements

The Zehntner ZRM 6006 RL-Qd is a budget-priced, user-friendly entry-level retroreflectometer designed for measuring night visibility (RL) and day visibility (Qd) of road markings. This portable device features one-button operation and is ideal for road traffic authorities, road labs, project acceptance agencies, road marking paint factories, and road marking contractors.

Advanced Measurement Capabilities

This retroreflectometer provides ultrafast retroreflection measurement (RL and Qd) in approximately 2 seconds for all types of road and pavement markings. The device can measure both night visibility using retroreflection principles and day visibility using luminance coefficient under diffuse illumination. Additionally, it measures ambient temperature (°C/°F) and relative humidity (rH %).

Versatile Field and Laboratory Use

The ZRM 6006 is engineered for use in any weather condition – dry or wet, day or night, both on the road and in laboratory settings. Its lightweight and portable design makes it ideal for field measurements while maintaining laboratory-grade accuracy. The device works with all types of road marking materials including paints, marking tapes, thermoplastic and cold plastic materials.

Compliance and Quality Assurance

The retroreflectometer operates in accordance with international standards including EN 1436 (RL/Qd), ASTM E1710 (RL), ASTM E2302 (Qd), and ASTM E2177 (RL wet). Factory calibration is traceable to the independent Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology METAS, and the instrument is approved by the accredited association StrAus-Zert, Germany.
