The Liberty Connect 100 is a compact, secure, and future-ready electronic interface unit designed for district and communal heating networks. It connects to third-party heat meters and Heat Interface Units (HIU) via wired M-Bus or pulse input, collecting consumption data and transmitting it reliably to the Head-End System (HES). The unit features both cellular for WAN communication with the HES and ZigBee for local HAN connectivity with the Pipit 500 in-home display. It empowers heat service providers to reduce and prevent bad debt by providing automated debt recovery features and accurate insights into the consumption data. For residents, the in-home display provides clear visibility into usage, balance, and costs, enabling them to budget effectively. This transparency and control help reduce fuel poverty by encouraging timely payments and more efficient energy use.
