11.2 How do I calculate the installed angle?
2. Calculate
α
using the following equation:
(p. 4) for Installation angle requirements.
11.3 Can I calibrate the sensor remotely?
Yes, the SurfaceVue 10 can be calibrated remotely when connected to a Campbell Scientific data
logger. The calibration must be completed when the road is dry. This can be determined from
data of other sensors located on the weather station or from a camera image if available. See
11.4 What is the definition of ground
temperature?
Ground temperature is the temperature below the road surface at 6 cm (2.4 in) depth.
11.5 What type of structure should the SurfaceVue
10 be mounted to?
The SurfaceVue 10 is typically mounted to a large vertical pole or lattice tower. The sensor
includes mounting brackets and band straps to be mounted to an 8 to 18 cm (3 to 7 inch) pole.
For lattice tower mounting options please consult with Campbell Scientific.
11.6 Does the SurfaceVue 10 need to be
continuously powered?
Yes, the SurfaceVue 10 needs continuous power to effectively measure the surface state, friction
value, modeled wind, and modeled ground temperature.
