High-Low Detector

■ Easy-to-use, one-person operation.■ Lightweight aluminum frame construction.■ Vertical-sweep visual indicator.■ Optional simultaneous sound indicator.

The Hi-Low Detector (Rolling Straight Edge) is used for measuring pavementplaneness.

Rolled by one person along a highway, airport runway, or bridge surface, the unitdetects, registers, and dye marks high and low areas that need to be ground or re-rolled.

The indicator wheel detects high and low areas in the pavement surface, and alarge pointer scale, mounted above the wheel and immediately in front of thesteering handle, registers these areas in full view of the operator.Variations aremagnified 16 times on a vertical scale graduated in 1/8" (1 mm) increments, sothat magnified readings range up to 1/4" (6.4 mm), high or low.

An optional battery-operated 9-volt bell-buzzer located near the operator indi-cates high and low pavement surfaces simultaneously with the visual indicator.

Upon receiving the visual and audible indicator signals, the operator depresses abutton on the steering handle that controls the marking-dye discharge valve. Brightorange dye sprays onto the irregular surface from a replaceable aerosol canmounted directly beside the indicator wheel.
