RMS 1200
Retroreflectometer for measurement of retroreflectors in compliance with standards
RMS 1200 – Determination of retroreflection values for all types of retroreflectors with precise color temperature control
The RMS 1200 from the Optronik line from Instrument Systems measures the back reflection of retroreflectors of all kinds in the automotive field and other retroreflecting materials. High-precision measurements are made in accordance with CIE Publication 54.2-2001 and reliably fulfil all current requirements, e.g. ECE R3, SAE J594, ISO-EN-DIN 20471 or DIN 67520.
The instrument is characterized by precise color temperature control of the projector light source to standard illuminant A. Only seconds after being switched on, the light source is stabilized and a color temperature of 2856 Kelvin is reached. As color temperature is measured and stabilized internally, the RMS 1200 retroreflectometer delivers reliable test results in accordance with CIE Publication 54.2-2001.
The RMS 1200 is controlled by the LightCon software of an AMS goniometer or special software for applications such as ISO 20471.
