After eight successful years the production of the ZRM 6013 Zehntner-Retroreflectometer RL/Qd will be ceased and replaced by the models ZRM 6014, ZRM 6013+ and ZRM 6006 at the end of 2013. Click here to request a quotation for trade-in with a new model.
Depending on availability, it might be possible to purchase a second hand unit. The following features distinguish the ZRM 6013:
- The very first retroreflectometer with LED illumination for measuring night visibility (RL) and day visibility (Qd) of road markings as well as ambient temperature (°C/°F) and relative humidity (rH %) combined in one compact instrument
- For all types of road markings
- For profiles up to 5 mm (0.2“), just put on and measure; additionally, significantly higher profiles can be measured with instruction
- In accordance with EN 1436 (for RL and Qd), ASTM E 1710 (for RL), ASTM E 2302 (for Qd) ASTM E 2177 (for RL wet)
- Approved by independent test laboratory BASt (Federal Highway Research Institute, DE) (test No.: BASt-V4 22/2006)
- Factory calibration with a calibration standard traceable to the independent accreditation body METAS, Switzerland

|
Latest technology and intuitive operational elements like for example the rotary button for easy and rapid menu-guidance |
|
Several parameters are displayed at the press of a single button |
|
Menu-guided in several languages, easy to operate |
|
Put the instrument on the included calibration standard; pressing the button executes the zero, RL and Qd calibration automatically |
|
Measuring system with high long-term stability ensures constant measuring accuracy and thus reliable measuring results |
|
Automatic self-diagnosis will show all deviations caused by damage or soiling |
| Markings of different colours can be measured without recalibrating the instrument thanks to V(λ) adaptation | |
|
2nd calibration standard can be programmed |
|
For exact positioning of the instrument the measuring direction, mesuring area and illumination area are indicated on the instrument |
| Automatic ambient light supervision and correction, particularly important for profiled markings | |
|
For profiles up to 5 mm (0.2“), just put on and measure; additionally, significantly higher profiles can be measured with instruction |
|
Integrated wet-timer (stop watch), the measurement is carried out automatically after expiry of the inserted time |
|
Last measured data will not be lost after shut down of the instrument even if they have not yet been stored |
|
Huge memory |
|
PC- and printer connection |
|
Optional built-in thermal printer for easy printout directly on site |
|
PC and printer transfer, print-out of a detailed test report (e.g. user ID, date/time, location, specification of road marking, average value) on an A4- or letter-sized paper with almost any printer |
|
Data transfer into Microsoft Excel enables statistical analyses of the measurements taken |
|
Free software/firmware updates and program for PC ("RetroTools" software). RetroTools is available for Windows 98 SP1, NT 4.0 SP5, 2000 SP2, XP and Vista versions |
|
For better user convenience in the field, wheels, remote control incl. adjustable handle are optionally available; easy to mount and to remove, no tools required |
|
WAAS GPS unit available as an option |
|
If equipped with WAAS GPS unit, it is possible to show each single measurement on the optional, external mapping software. In addition you can add a photo of the road marking for each measurement |
|
Extremely powerful battery; e.g. for 400 measurements per day, the battery has to be recharged only once a month |
|
Luminous display for measurements in the dark. Hence measurements can be taken around the clock (day or night) |
|
The handy metal carrying case with wheels requires little space, suitable even for airline travel |
| Even a small car is suitable for transportation |
