Symptom
Possible cause
Solution
Data string is reporting data
from the surface condition
sensor but not from the
temperature sensor.
The connection cable
between the sensors may
be connected incorrectly.
Remove the surface-condition
sensor end cap and check that the
connector is installed correctly and
hand tight.
11. Frequently asked questions
11.1 How do I calculate the distance from the
sensor to the measuring area on the road?
Figure 11-1. Right triangle
Where:
c
= distance from the head of the sensor to the measuring area on the road
b
= distance from the measuring area on the road to the base below the head of the sensor
a
= distance from the base below the head of the sensor to the head of the sensor
α
= measuring angle
1. Measure the distances
a
and
b
.
2. Calculate
c
using the following equation:
