Improved Ball Bank Indicator


Greetings!

You spoke and we listened! First we developed our Digital Ball Banking unit to allow one person to safely perform Safe Curve Speed Studies. And now with Federal and State MUTCD recommending a variety of angles for setting safe curve speed, we've combined several options, and more, into one industry leading RDS7-BB digital ball bank indictor - making it easier to adjust for your specific regulations.
RDS7-BB Digital Ball Bank Indicator Gets a Much Needed Upgrade!

BRDS7-BBased on nationwide feedback from traffic and DOT engineers Rieker is introducing the latest version of the industry leading RDS7-BB ball bank indicator. The -09 version allows the operator to switch between viewing the angle in Degrees or Percent Grade. It also provides for the hard wiring of input power (8-30VDC non-regulated via the DSUB connector) for vehicles without cigarette lighter adaptor plug receptacles or for those who want a more permanent wiring solution.

But the key feature - now standard - is the ability to adjust the ±10º trip angle setting to the appropriate angle as indicated in your State's adopted MUTCD (for setting safe curve speed based on road type and MPH).
 
Features and Benefits Quick List:
  • Adjustable LED (visual) and Buzzer (audible) trip angle settings (in 1º steps) > to assist with complying with your State's MUTCD code for ball banking curves
  • Ability to turn the buzzer on or off > allows for silent running mode
  • 2 power supply options > adaptability in newer vehicles or installation requirements
  • Ability to switch between Degrees and Percent Grade > allows operator to view the cross slope angle in his or her familiar visual representation
  • Extended angle measuring range now ±30º
  • LCD Display Resolution  0.01º
  • RS232 output via serial port connector (cable supplied) > allows operator to record curve data directly to PC laptop
  • Same package, mounting position and dimensions > easy installation, auto level, and portable
  • Simple display interface > easy to use, single user operation
