DOCKSIDE SERVICES SMART

DOCKSIDE SERVICES SMART notification for Lighthouse models US-based Eaton Marina Power & Lighting has made further improvement to the ground fault safety in its proven Lighthouse power pedestals by adding SMART notification. Describing the units as now offering the ‘smartest, safest and most cost effective ground fault solution on the market’, Eaton has rolled out the new feature for both 5mA and 30mA options inside its ground fault circuit interrupters. By offering intuitive trip notification of potential voltage leakage into the water, the appropriately named Lighthouse pedestals will help to save lives at a time when electric shock drowning in fresh water environments often hits the boating headlines. Pedestals feature a custom flash sequence to give immediate notification of A single red light immediately lets the marina operator know that the pedestals are protecting customers. any ground fault event and notification indicates current breaker status and ground fault levels. All pedestals are manufactured from Eaton brand UL receptacles, breakers, relays, switches and lighting components and are available in plastic and stainless steel. The Lighthouse Ground Fault Pedestal exceeds NEC code requirements and complies with the Michel Cunningham Act (West Virginia), the Samantha Chipley Act (Kentucky) and the Noah Dean & Nate Act (Tennessee). Contact Eaton Marina Power & Lighting in VA, USA on email: marinasales@eaton.com New pedestal with air-con add-on An innovative new dockside pedestal has been designed by Italian company Marcello Giampiccolo to offer multiple services that earn the marina operator additional revenue. Named Leonardo, each pedestal provides 16amp to 400amp electricity supply; water via quick-connect stainless steel taps; air conditioning and heating for small boats; and an interactive office-to-berth communication system with an IP65 touch screen monitor. The system is fully modular and can be installed in a wide variety of layouts at any marina. Each service pedestal is manufactured from solid 316L stainless steel and coated with wood plastic composite slats identical to marina decking. The marina operator can make money by hiring the air conditioning system to boats and selling advertising on the interactive monitor. The company also argues that by providing an exclusive, quiet, safe and low cost air conditioning and heating system, boat owners will be encouraged to use their boats year-round and thus spend more time – and money – at the marina. By renting the system at just €20 a day, the equipment will be paid for and profits gained after just one season. Leonardo has been available in Italy since 1st May but will be officially launched at METS 2015 in Amsterdam (17th-19th November).
