A campsite or a marina sells power, water, showers and laundry — all things somebody normally collects by hand. The terminal sells them by itself, in any language and against any kind of money, and stands outside all year.
Electricity, water and showers billed by time or by consumption. The column stands outside all year and works when reception is closed.

Which one depends on the spot: the compact on a service block, the large one out in the open where it has to give change.
Worked example
Worked scenarios
Power and water at the pitch
1
The guest picks their pitch on the screen and pays for power by time or by amount.
2
The terminal switches on the socket at that pitch and no other.
3
When the paid share runs out the power stops by itself — nobody walks the rows at night.
4
The guest can top up from their phone without getting up from the table.
Showers and laundry out of season
1
In winter the reception is shut, but the terminal keeps selling.
2
Payment is by card or cash; the large terminal returns change in coins.
3
The screen works from −20 °C up and takes input from wet hands and gloves.
4
The owner watches the takings from their phone and comes over only to collect the cash.
How it connects
To the pitch: a relay output to a socket or a valve. A meter goes in when power is sold by consumption.
One cabinet can cover several pitches — the screen picks which one.
Showers and laundry work the same way: time paid, output switched on, switched off by itself.
The housing and screen are built for outdoors — −20 to +70 °C, splash-proof, usable with wet hands and gloves.
Frequently asked questions
What is a campsite and marina terminal?
A device that sells power, water, showers and laundry on self-service. The guest picks a pitch and a time, pays on the screen, and the terminal switches on the socket or the tap at exactly that pitch.
Is power charged by time or by consumption?
Either. By time is simpler and needs no extra meter; by consumption needs a meter at the pitch, but it is fairer for large motorhomes and yachts.
Does it survive cold and salt?
The screen runs from −20 to +70 °C and is splash-proof, and the housing is built for wet areas. For a marina the appropriate build is specified.
What languages does it speak?
Six on the terminal today — Bulgarian, English, German, Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese — and practically any other on request.
What is the lead time?
6–8 weeks from order to a working terminal, including reprogramming for the specific site.
