OPTRONIK RMS-l0gse offers a hardware and software solution
for absolute retroreflection measurement. OPTRONIK OPTO
software provides graphical interface with menu driven controls
for data acquisition, display, and analysis. The light source
is temperature regulated to standard illuminant A, making
it ready for use without long burn-in procedures. The unit
can be positioned at distances of 10m (ECE) or 100 ft (SAE).
Both ECE/SAE tests can also be performed at 100 ft if desired.
The motor driven detector can be controlled via PC or from
front panel keypad and the remote control panel in the main
control rack.
RMS-l0gse offers a complete hardware and software solution
for absolute retroreflection measurement, including OPTRONIK
LightCon software, which provides a graphical interface
with menu driven controls for data acquisition, display,
and analysis.
In combination with the OPTRONIK  SMS-10
goniophotometers, the RMS10gse provides accurate measurement
of the photometric properties of a variety of retroreflectors.
Projector
- Projector with color temperature acc. to standard illuminant
A
- Measuring distance 100 ft (30.5 m) or 100 ft and 10m
- Projector aperture: 50mm diameter (SAE); 29mm diameter
(ECE -10mm)

- Measuring field in 100 ft: > Ø 25 mm (up to approx.
700mm for measuring complete warning triangles
according to ECE R27)
- Uniformity of illuminance < 5 %
- Pre-adjusted lamp socket assembly for repeatable positioning
of lamp
- Color temperature regulation to standard illuminant A
(color temperature is measured and automatically adjusted;
projector ready for operation after a few seconds)
- Housing with adjusting screws to direct the illuminant
axis to the reference point of the measuring object
- Built-in power supply for 230 V, 50-60 Hz
- Halogen bulb, 250 W
- Illuminance on sample plane 10...65 lx (depending on measurement
distance selected)
- Dimension (W x H x D): 600 x 2450 x 600 mm
- Weight approx. 75 kg
Photometer
- 2 display and control units, one in the instrument, another
in the main control rack of the goniometer
- Five-digit display of measuring values
- Display range 0.001 mcd/lx (last digit) to 100,000 mcd/lx
- For samples with a size of 10 x 10 cm, the corresponding
range of the coefficient of retroreflection is
R' = 0.01 - 19 990 cd/lx/m²
- Photometer head with Si-photoelement, superior approximation
to the V(λ) function
- V (λ) approximation f1 < 2.5 % or better according
to DIN 5032 section 6
- Range selection automatically or manually

- Absolute measuring error < ± 1.5 % ±
1 digit against PTB standard at standard illuminant A

- Photo receiver: 29 mm (ECE); 1 x ½ inch (25 x 12.6
mm) (SAE) (automatic diaphragm recognition)
- Auto-calibration function: Periodically, the detector
will be locked against light incidence to auto-calibrate
the unit,
removing all influences resulting from dark
currents (no check of illuminance on sample plane required
as for
conventional retroreflectometers)
- Aperture 1 x 1/2 sq. in. (25 mm x 13 mm, or 2.9' x 1.4')
- Optical lens system for stray light reduction
- Individual measuring report of the photometer head

targeting
Further features
- Precision operational amplifier with additional voltage/current
converter to produce an impressed output current
- Device with motoric drive and incremental angle encoder
system to position the photometer head to observation
angles between 0.2° and > 1.5° (in
100 ft) and 0.333° and 4.5° in 10 m (option: 0.08°)
- Electronic display and control unit
- Angular resolution of detector movement: 0.001°
- Color temperature adjustable between 2500-3200 K, standard
setting at standard illuminant A at 2856 K
- Adjustable voltage
- Graphic LC display, background illuminated with information
on lamp cycles, total burning time, projector
temperature, illuminance on sample plane
in lux, auto-calibration function if in progress, mode of
operation
(ECE/SAE) angular position with 0.001°
resolution.
- Digital display for observation angles with resolution
of 0.001°
- Selection of observation angles manually or automatically
via RS232 bus interface
- Switch for projector lamp for zero-setting
- Connection cable to projector
- Built-in power supply for 230 V, 50-60 Hz
- Calibration of RMS10 traceable to PTB standard, with Optronik
calibration certificate
Special features
- Time and cost saving operation due to color temperature
regulation (ready for use after a few seconds -
no burn-in time required as for conventional
retroreflectometers
- Auto-calibration function; no additional luxmeter required
to check the illuminance on the sample plane
- Moveable detector enables the system to record complete
retro slices and grids to get information about the
complete light distribution, not just at a few
points
- All functions can be controlled at the instrument itself,
from the main control rack (remote display), and by PC command
Options
- Docking stations for repeatable positioning if used at
both 100 ft and 10 m
- Different goniometer types for sample rotation
