Bayside Pedestal Model BU3050
Installation, Maintenance, and Operation Manual
INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT: The Bayside Pedestal is thoroughly painted on the bottom and the stainless steel stand is specially
designed to protect the bottom of the pedestal from direct contact with the dock surface to inhibit the corrosive
effects of treated deck board lumber and/or concrete. Please handle the pedestal with care while mounting so as
not to scrape or damage the paint on the bottom, which could lead to corrosion problems and a cancellation of the
factory warranty.
Step 1: Mounting the Bayside Pedestal:
Note: The pedestal mounting surface must be flat and level for proper mounting. Warped decking or uneven
concrete surfaces can be shimmed with stainless steel washers to provide a level surface for mounting base
installation. Orient the “Bayside” Pedestal so that the electrical access panel is accessible from the dock
walkway
On Wooden Docks: At each corner, fit the pedestal to the dock surface with one (1) 3/8” stainless steel bolt,
nut and washer for through-bolting, or (1) 3/8” stainless steel lag bolt, and washer for surface mounting.
On Concrete Docks: At each corner, fit the mounting base plate to the dock surface with one (1) 3/8”
stainless steel compression bolt or 3/8” stainless steel threaded rod cast in concrete. (see figure below).

Step 2: Connecting the Power Lines to the Terminal Block:
The “Bayside” power pedestal contains a 3/8” stud-lug compression type terminal block within the pedestal
interior. Remove the eight (8) stainless steel screws fastening the electrical access panel to the pedestal to
expose the terminal block assembly. Termination of the lines shall be made by means of copper
compression terminals to place on the 3/8” stud-lug terminal block as directed by the wiring diagram
instructions located inside the housing (see figure below). The terminated lines shall be placed on the bus bar
“back-to-back” (each terminal facing 180° from each other) in order to achieve adequate surface contact to
the copper bus bar (see figure below). The terminated lines shall be secured by means of one (1) stainless
steel split-ring lock washer and (1) stainless steel nut, which are all provided for each of the incoming lines.
These connections shall be torqued to 15 foot-pounds. CAUTION: NEVER PLACE ANY HARDWARE
BETWEEN THE TERMINAL/BUS BAR CONNECTION. THIS CREATES A HIGH-RESISTANCE
CONNECTION THAT COULD CAUSE OVERHEATING/FIRE.
WARNING: DO NOT ALTER FACTORY-SIDE CONNECTIONS. FACTORY WARRANTY WILL BE
VOIDED.
IMPORTANT: Contractor shall mount line side feeders per the diagram below. Heat shrink tubing shall be used when uninsulated
copper terminal extend below bus bar insulation divider to keep proper spacing between live and grounded conductors, per NEC

EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE:
Dirt, grime, bird droppings and insect residue can be removed by use of a mild degreasing solution mixture of one teaspoon per gallon of
warm water. Gently scrub the housing exterior and rinse clean. Spiders and other insects can be controlled by use of a WATER-BASED
insect spray.
WARNING: DO NOT use any petroleum or solvent-based insect spray or corrosion inhibiting products on any part of the power
pedestal. These solvents will compromise the structural integrity of the polycarbonate material and cause stress cracking and
material failure. Use of any such solvents will void the manufacturer's warranty.
TOUCH UP DAMAGED PAINT:
1) Scuff the area well with wet and dry 220-grit sandpaper.
2) Clean the area (dishwashing detergent and water) and allow to dry.
3) Spray or brush even wet coats of basecoat. Two wet coats should be sufficient. Allow each coat to dry 20 minutes before recoating.
Note small areas can be touched up by brushing, while large areas will require a spray kit.
INTERIOR MAINTENANCE:
WARNING: Turn off or disconnect the power supplying this equipment before beginning work. This might require you to contact your local
utility to disconnect the power to an existing panel board or disconnect. The line side of the main breaker in a panel board is energized
unless power is disconnected upstream. Marina Electrical Equipment, Inc. will not assume any responsibility for property damage or
personal injury resulting from misuse of the information in this manual.
1. Annual Terminal Block Maintenance:
Remove the two (2) screws holding the lens to the main housing. Pivot the lens upward to expose the de-energized terminal block
assembly. The terminal block should then be thoroughly examined for signs of excessive heating, loose and/or corroded connections, and
any other sign of damage or wear. All loose or damaged connections need to be tightened or replaced.
Thoroughly examine the copper wire to pressure terminal connections for signs of corrosion. If any corrosion is found, simply remove the
copper wire, clean the wire, coat with synthetic anti-corrosion grease and reinstall the wire.
2. Annual Receptacle and Circuit Breaker Maintenance:
The receptacles and circuit breakers should be examined on an annual basis. If any sign of heating or corrosion is evident, the component
should be replaced. The Bayside contains an innovative, patented pivoting faceplate assembly to simplify field maintenance. Simply
remove the four screws fastening the breaker plate and faceplate to the pedestal and pivot the entire assembly outward. This will allow for
full access to the receptacles and circuit breakers for maintenance or replacement.

3. Annual Light Fixture Maintenance:
The light fixture can be tested by covering the photocell for 2-4 minutes to simulate darkness. The photocell should close the circuit to
illuminate the bulb. Should the bulb not illuminate, unscrew the two (2) screws fastening the lens to the main housing and pivot the lens
upward to expose the lamp assembly. Check the protective inline fuse and replace if necessary. Replace the bulb and re-fasten lens.
NOTE: Ensure terminal block finger guard is in place for safe bulb access. Risk of serious electric shock could result if guard is
not in place.
OPERATION:
1. Connect Shore Power Cord to Vessel:
Insert the female end of the shore power cord into the vessel's power inlet connection. Twist the plug to lock on and tighten the locking plug
retainer nut until the cord set is snug to the vessel.
2. Connect Shore Power Cord to Power Pedestal:
With the circuit breakers in the OFF position, insert the shore power cord into the receptacle and twist the plug clockwise until it locks onto
the receptacle.
3. Turn the Circuit Breaker ON:
With both connections secured, turn the circuit breaker to the ON position. Check to see that the power indicator light on the vessel
indicates a successful attachment of the shore power cord. A circuit breaker which trips under load indicates an issue with the vessel wiring
and or equipment. Short circuits, overload and/or ground faults (if the power outlet panel is equipped with ground fault protected circuit
breakers) will cause circuit breakers to trip, requiring the vessel's electrical system to be examined and repaired by a qualified electrician
before the vessel can reconnect to the power pedestal.
For power outlet panels equipped with optional ground fault protection: if the breaker(s) immediately trips upon inserting the shore power
cord, the grounded (neutral) conductor and the equipment ground conductor are improperly bonded on the vessel. A qualified electrician
must repair this faulty wiring/equipment before the vessel can reconnect to the power pedestal.
To Reset the Sentinel II Ground Fault Relay (GFR480-1): Once the ground fault has been cleared, press the "TEST/RESET" button for < 1
second, switch the breaker(s) to "OFF" and the "ON" to re-energize the shore power receptacle(s).
4. Reading the Kilowatt-Hour (kWH) Counter:
Power outlet panels equipped with kWH Meters provide an electromechanical odometer output with six (6) digits. The far right digit on this
counter represents tenths of a kWH. For example, a kWH counter reading of " 1 2 3 4 5 6" would indicate 12,345.6 kWH. The previous
reading would be deducted from this reading to determine the kWH used between readings. For example, a previous reading of 9,688.2
kWH: 12,345.6 - 9,688.2 = 2,657.4 kWH used between readings. This usage would be multiplied by the kWH rate for billing.
