Way Marine Design selected Entertron's
Smart-PAK to control its patented "No Profile" Boat
Lift - taking the industry out of the dark ages and into the 21st
century with the only No profile boat lift on the market.
Two objectives were accomplished with this
revolutionary design:
- Eliminate clutter by making boat
lift's working machinery invisible - making it flush with
the dock (A problem with conventional boat lifts)
- The ability to withstand Florida's
salt water environment
By accomplishing their objectives, Way
Marine developed:
- A product with numerous mechanical and
electronic features standard - not found in other
manufacturer's products.
- The most visually attractive, user
friendly and installer friendly boat lift in the industry
- Backed by the most comprehensive
warranty available
The Smart-PAK performs the following
functions:
- Monitors independent hydraulic
cylinders and motors to ensure even raising and lowering
of dock
- Monitors Up & Down limits
- Monitors Remote Commands
- Monitors over current conditions on
the electric motors
- If problems with dock, Smart-PAK will
not allow for operations in remote mode, only manual
mode.
With the Smart-PAK controlling and
monitoring the entire process, ensures a longer life for the
product and fewer cable replacements.
Features that our customer likes about the
Smart-PAK and Entertron are:
- Pluggable terminal blocks for one time
wiring and easy replacement
- Pluggable memory for easy program
installation and field modifications
- 5 year warranty
- Entertron modified the Smart-PAK by
connecting board commons together to reduce customer
wiring
- Entertron programs each EPROM with Way
Marine program and installs it into every controller
prior to shipment, thus reducing the need to program the
controllers when they arrive.
All of the above features enable Way Marine
to provide their customers with efficient service for their
products.
