14 SERVICE PEDESTALS Prepayment metering by Maricer


A


din rail-mounted RFID card meter within Maricer’s service pedestals, the world’s first four- module


RFID card meter, was first introduced by the company towards the end of 2018. Used in conjunction with its Alpha software, this provides a simple yet versatile way of receiving payment for electricity prior to consumption. Using Alpha RFID, an authorised


card is simply held over the card reader embedded into the meter housing to activate. Outstanding credit can be transferred back to the card by the reverse process and read on the software again. The meter offers a host of other


features, including multiple tariff options, low credit alarm and an emergency credit facility. ● Software: Alpha software to build


your database and record customer account information and payments/ credits. ● RFID Reader & Cards: The reader connects to your computer terminal and credit can be loaded onto a reusable card. The card can be read at any time to view an outstanding balance or to ‘top-up’ with further credit. ● RFID Meters: Credit is transferred


Easy-to-use service bollard


A versatile, compact service bollard is available from System Group Marine for use as a distribution point for electricity, water, information and warning messages in marinas. The Marina Point RP One Plus


service bollard has been designed so that the user can access it alone, easily, safely and at any time of day. User authorisation and cost allocation is by means of an electronic key type transponder. The management logic can


be either through subsequent debiting or pay-as-you-go. In the first case, the user is given a key in which his personal pin number is recorded that, when read by the control unit, allows the service used to be selected and the associated consumption read. In the second case, the user ‘tops-up’ the key with a variable amount and enables the service required by transferring the credit to the control unit. This IP65-rated bollard is
