Mainstar

Mainstar is a utility metering and control system that uses an existing power grid as the network to allow for the remote reading and control of electric, water, gas, gates, and lights throughout a marina or campground. It is a low-cost, easily implemented solution for an RV park or marina to add security, increase control, and bill out any type of utility on the property.

Mainstar is Freedom…
  • Freedom from running new wires to read and control meters
  • Freedom from manually reading meters and billing
  • Freedom to provide utilities in a manageable way
Experience Automation and Control Without New Wires and Cables
Many marinas and RV campgrounds have been unable to take advantage of today's advanced sub-metering technology because of the high costs associated with running new wires to the meters. Even wireless solutions can be costly as they require the expense of antennas, repeaters and cables to achieve coverage, and they can also have intermittent outages due to weather and frequency interference.
Security and Reliability
Mainstar has built-in security for the RV park/marina operator as well as for residents and visitors through a unique PIN code or card system. These allow customers to check their utility readings and know they are only being billed for what they use. Operators can use a master PIN code to control utilities on the docks or sites or from the computer application Mains1000™ in the office. With MainsNet™, multiple computers or laptops can access the controls even if the property is on the other side of the country.
The Bottom Line
The convenience and simplicity of Mainstar’s automation is changing the way RV campgrounds and marinas manage utilities, with its easy-to-use software and use of existing power lines. Mainstar’s cost-saving technology makes automating utilities a must for any size marina or RV park.
