• Purchase the C-more programming software, EA9-PGMSW at
AutomationDirect.com. EA9-PGMSW is available on CD or by
direct download.
• Install EA9-PGMSW on your PC.
• Use the software to create a project.
• Download the project to the C-more panel from the software via
Ethernet or USB cable or on USB memory or SD card
Notes regarding Ethernet access to a C-more panel.
If you intend to take advantage of the methods of remote access to the panel, including the web server, PC remote
access, FTP, iPhone or iPad app, you need to consider the security exposure in order to minimize the risks to your
process and your C-more panel.
Security measures may include password protection, changing the ports exposed on your network, including a VPN in
your network, and other methods. Security should always be carefully evaluated for each installation.
Wire a dedicated 12-24 VDC power source to the DC connector on the rear
of the C-more touch panel, include wiring the ground terminal to a proper
equipment ground. The recommended power supply is AutomationDirect
p/n: PSC24-060
• or install a C-more AC/DC Power Adapter, p/n EA-AC, to the rear of the touch panel and
wire an AC voltage source of 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hertz, to its AC connector
• then turn on the power source and check the LED status indicators on the front and rear
of the C-more touch panel for proper indication
