PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL
This manual explains the functions of the Vitals system for
valve operation and maintenance. Vitals version 3.8.1
includes the following components:
• Handheld controller (TC-100 or HC-100) for valve
operation and data collection with the ERV-750, TM-7,
and TM-6 valve operators.
• Vitals Mobile 3.8.1 software (and later), running on the
handheld controller.
• Vitals Desktop 3.8.1 software for Window-based com-
puters, for valve database management.
Chapter 3 describes the Vitals 3.8.1 hardware and software
in detail.
When using Vitals version 3.8.1 for the first time, be sure to
follow the procedures in Chapter 4, “Starting Up with
Vitals”. The setup procedure requires that you have a Win-
dows (version 7, 8, or 10) PC on which you can install
Vitals Desktop 3.8.1.
If you are currently running Vitals Desktop 3.7, upgrade it
to version 3.8 before using Vitals Mobile 3.8 (either TC or
HC version). If you have older HC-100 controllers, also
upgrade them to version 3.8. You should always be running
the same Vitals version on all your devices.
