	High Speed Profiling System For precision surface profile testing at highway speeds, choose from these SSI models: •CS9300 Portable Profiler •CS9400 Simple Profiler •CS9000 Robust Mount •CS9100 Mid-Mount All are ASTM E-950 Class I devices and DOT certified.	CS8500 Profilograph •The original “California” device. •Meets ASTM E-1274, USACE and DOT requirements (including California Test Method 526). •Reports PRI / IRI and bumps/dips. •Outputs dual wheel tracks. •Adds GPS to profile stations. •Thousands in use worldwide.
	Lightweight Profiling Systems •Access green concrete pavements quickly for QA/QC testing with the CS8700 Lightweight Profiler. •Wide-footprint lasers reduce the impact of grooves, tines or coarse textures on ride index values and localized roughness.	CS8800 Walking Profiler •Collect IRI/PRI, FF/FL, and localized roughness data at walking speeds. •Produces highly accurate and repeatable surface profile data, including elevation content. •Feature rich Windows analysis software allows detailed in-field visualization of profile data.
	Survey/Profiling Systems •Generate 3-D surface data in a fraction of the time required by conventional survey equipment. •CS9350 and CS8750 GeoProfilers^tm combine profile, slope and corrected GPS data into a high resolution terrain. •Use same device for QA/QC testing under ride specifications.	Profilograph Retrofit •Existing profilograph frame hardware can be upgraded to the CS8500 operating system. •Upgrade kit is field installable. •Replaces all electronics and software. •DOT approved and certified.
	CS9200 Trailer Profiler •Functions as a lightweight or high speed profiling system. •100% self-contained, professionally engineered trailer. •Air-adjustable suspension. •Needs only a 12V power supply from the tow vehicle. •Operational within minutes.	Bridge Profilograph •Designed for testing bridges and structures pursuant to DOT specifications, including California DOT Test Method 547. •The CS8550 combines all the advanced features of the CS8500 Profilograph onto a more compact configuration.
