We start by getting a good understanding of the park’s pedestals. Are they metered? Do they have meter sockets knock-outs, etc.? We then measure the size of the park to determine how many data collectors will be needed.

parameters. We ensure you're informed so you can manage your park effectively.

We offer a standard 4-year warranty on our meters. Most issues, often from shipping mishaps,
are swiftly handled with replacements. For any troubleshooting, our support team is at your
service.
Are there data privacy concerns for guests regarding monitoring?
Guest privacy is paramount. Our system's data collection pertains strictly to utility usage and is
fully compliant with privacy regulations. Transparency is key, and guests can access their own
real-time meter readings if they wish.
Can the metering handle both EVs and campers at the same time?
Absolutely. Our meters are versatile and can handle metering for both electric vehicles and
campers simultaneously, with no interruptions or loss of accuracy.
