WelcomeThank you for purchasing Hurco’s Infrastructure Management System, IMS, software. IMS was developed to help you manage one of our most important infrastructures, water distribution. The IMS system was designed to be used with Hurco’s Fire Flow Pro for fire flow testing, unidirectional flushing, c-factor testing and Hurco’s Valve Star for valve exercising and management. This IMS software can also be used as a standalone system ready for you to enter data and create reports.

This software has many user friendly features including drop down menus and data selection fields, report editing, security features and much more. This software will give you every function you need to manage your water distribution system including valves, hydrants and mains.

IMS software modules include:• Hydrant and Valve Maintenance, included with base package.• Fire Flow Testing• C-factor Testing • Unidirectional Flushing• Valve Exercising• QSI Integration Module for Valve Star G4 and Fire Flow Pro QSI

This manual will take you through the step by step procedures for using the IMS software. We use simple to understand instructions and photos to assist you in learning how to get the best results from your IMS software. Please follow each step completely to insure you will get the valuable data, management tools and reports you expect.

The IMS system is designed for any size water distribution system and set up so you can generate your own custom reports using Crystal Reports. To get started, please read this manual front to back. If you need help getting started with your new IMS software, the staff at Hurco will be happy to assist you. We can set up training by Webex, telephone, fax, e-mail or even onsite training. Please call to learn more about our training programs. You will have unlimited Webex and telephone support for one year from your purchase date.

In this IMS software program, we give you numerous fields to collect and record important data about your water distribution system. As a general rule, these features are based on the recommendations of the American Water Works Association, (AWWA) and the National Fire Protection Association, (NFPA). It will be your responsibility to read and understand these recommendations. Hurco Technologies, Inc. will not be responsible for the incorrect collection of data or for the failure to follow AWWA and NFPA recommendations. Assign a competent worker with knowledge of your distribution system and capabilities to manage data in a software program. Always verify that the equipment you are using to collect data in the field is properly calibrated and certified.

To set up training or for general information regarding your new IMS software, call Hurco Technolo-gies, Inc. at 1-800-888-1436.

Setting up IMS Mobile

Hardware Mobile RF Receiver

1. Plug mobile RF receiver into USB port.

2. If receiver is not recognized, you should be prompted to install the drivers for it. These are located on the disk for IMS Mobile.

3. Continue with next step after drivers have been installed.

4. Go to Control Panel, then System, then Device Manager.

5. Under Ports, find USB Serial Port (COMX). The “X” represents the comport number assigned to your RF receiver. The com port number will need to be remembered as it will be needed in IMS Mobile.

GPS Receiver

The GPS receiver that you used with IMS Mobile must report GPS data in the NMEA format. For best results, we recommend a GPS receiver based on the SiRF Star III GPS chipset.

1. If you intend to use a GPS receiver, plug it into a USB port.

2. If receiver is not recognized, you should be prompted to install the drivers for it. These drivers will need to be obtained from the manufacturer.

3. Once GPS receiver has been installed, follow the above directions to obtain the comport number which will also be needed for IMS Mobile. The name of the port will vary depending on which GPS receiver is being used.

Chapter 3

Syncing to IMS by Hurco Before taking the handheld to the field for testing, you will need to sync it to IMS by Hurco. This will import the information from the company you selected earlier in IMS Server settings. As a precaution, we recommend backing up IMS by Hurco database before syncing handheld. You will also need to sync the handheld to IMS by Hurco once you return from the field.

WARNING: You must make sure you have the correct company in the IMS server settings before syncing. If you have the wrong company selected and you sync, it will import the information to whatever company you selected in the settings. For example, if you have selected Samplecompany1 in the settings but the information should go to Samplecompany2, it will write that information to Samplecompany1.

1. To start the syncing process, go to Actions. Select Sync to IMS.

2. The following warning will appear once you have selected Sync to IMS. If you wish to continue, select Yes. If you do not want to continue, select No. If you select No, the sync process will not move forward.
