What is vPro2? Why do you have it? How does it work?
vPro2 is Vital Energi’s Smart Metering Pay As You Go solution for the measurement and
control of the energy usage within your home.
The In-Home Display shows your energy usage collected from your electricity and/or
heat meter. The information is processed through the Liberty Connect 100 and is shown
on an LCD screen.
The In-Home Display connects wirelessly with your energy meter through a Home Area
Network. Liberty Connect 100 connects a heat meter to the network. You will only be
able to view the data from the meter attached to your In-Home Display.
The In-Home Display receives and displays messages from Vital Energi and lets you set-
up customised alerts relating to your account, energy or heat usage.
Touch screen: The LCD screen is touch-sensitive and backlit. The buttons and functions
on the screen change depending on which menu option you choose.
Energy usage information: Shows the energy you are currently using and lets you check
how much energy you’ve used in the past. Your energy usage is updated about every
10 seconds from your electricity meter and once a minute from your Liberty Connect
100.
Supplier messages: Alerts you when you receive a message from Vital Energi and saves
it for future reference.
Customised alerts: Allows you to set-up alerts to tell you when you are using more energy
than you want to, or that your account is low on credit, (Pay As You Go customers only).
