EZ-MAX Plus User I nterface
Your relay panel has many unique operational features which can be accessed directly
from the front panel, including relay control, relay overrides, and basic status
information. You will also find several “status” indicators (LED’s) inside the relay panel
as well as on the outside of the panel. These LED’s indicate how your panel is
operating and whether or not it is operating properly.
Front Panel Display
This section covers the basic functions of the front panel display. The following
sections cover specifics on how to use the front panel to program and configure your
relay cabinet.

Programming/ Function Buttons
The main buttons you will use to program the functionality of your cabinet are listed
below.
•MENU—displays the main menu.
•SELECT/ SAVE—moves you through the menu tree, and saves any changes.
•CANCEL—returns to the previous menu.
•CLEAR—clears the text or value that was just entered.
•RELAY ON/ OFF—button that allows a user t o turn a relay ON or OFF, or execut e
a permanent relay override.
•ALL ON/ ALL OFF—forces all relays to ON or OFF state. When in the ON state
inputs are temporarily disabled.
Many parameters can be modified using the LCD screen and a
password (setup code), however these modifications should be made
by a qualified factory technician.
Menu Structure
The top level menu structure for the programming functions is outlined below. Each of
the menu items shown below is covered in detail in separate sections of the
documentation. See Appendix B for a complete view of all top level menu items and
their submenus.
Deciphering the LCD Display Elements
The LCD display shows information on the current state of your relay panel, and
provides an easy and intuitive means of programming the panel.
When the system is operating normally the top line of the LCD display shows the
current day, time and the status of the event scheduler. The second line shows the
status of your relay cabinet.
If you exit from any menu via the MENU or CANCEL button,
and have not pressed Select/ Save, all changes will be
lost.

The example below shows the following:
•Daylight Savings Time is active.
•The display is locked.
•The Event Scheduler is active (“E”), but there are no events scheduled (the
dashes after the “E”). I f there was an event currently running the display would
also show the event number (i.e.: LE003).
The table below explains what each of the elements in the display means. Notice that
uppercase and lowercase alpha characters have different meanings.
Display Description
Day and Time—12 or 24-Hour Mode
“a” or “p” Lower case “a” or “p” indicates that daylight savings is inactive.
“A” or “P” Uppercase “A” or “P” indicates that daylight savings is active.
Daylight Savings for 24-Hour Clock
“s” Lower case “s” indicates that daylight savings is inactive.
“d” Lower case “d” indicates that daylight savings is active.
Panel Lock Status
“L” “L” indicates that the panel is in a locked state.
“u” “u” indicates that the panel is in a temporary un-locked state and will
automatically lock after three minutes of inactivity.
“U” “U” indicates that the panel is in an un-locked state and will not
automatically enabled the lock.
Event Scheduler
“E OFF” Event Scheduler is off.
“E---” Event Scheduler is active but no events have executed since the last system
reset/ power cycle.

Navigation Buttons
Use the arrow buttons to navigate the menu structure. Press the LEFT and
RI GHT buttons to navigate between “fields” on the screen. Press the UP
and DOWN buttons to change values in the fields.
You can use either the arrow keys or the keypad to change or enter data in many
cases.
Figure 3: Arrow Key & Alpha-Numeric Key Functions
Auto-Repeat
In some screens where you are adjusting values, you may find it helpful to press and
hold an arrow key. After a brief moment, the key will repeatedly issue it’s command
giving you a quick way to scroll through a broad range of values.
LED’s
Your EZ-MAX Plus relay cabinet has a variety of feedback mechanisms that are
designed to alert you as to how your panel is operating and the current status of each
relay.
The LED’s inside the panel can be broken up into two categories, “System Status” and
“Relay Status” LED’s.
System Status LED’s
System Status LED’s are designed to tell you at a quick glance the operational
characteristics of your system. For example, whether or not your system is receiving
data on one of the communication lines! This will assist you and our technical support
team should any diagnostics be necessary.

Generally, the following conventions apply:
•Green – All Systems Go! No alerts detected.
•Flashing Green – All Systems Go! Receiving or transmitting data.
•Solid Red – Alert Condition. Specific alert depends on LED.
•Slow Flashing Red – Systems operating Normally, usually a heartbeat.
•Quick Flashing Red – Alert Condition or Override Condition, specific alert depends
on LED.
The specific functions and states of each System Status LED are listed in the table
below.

Relay Status LED’s
Adjacent to each relay button you will find an LED that indicates the current status of
that particular relay card.
The possible states for the Relay Status LED’s are as follows:
Figure 5: Relay Status LED’s
I nternal Relay Cabinet Controls
In addition to front panel controls, your EZ-MAX Plus cabinets have two different types
of internal override switches for the relays:
•Master Override Switch
•Relay Override Button
LED Label LED State I ndication
RELAY X Solid Green Relay On
Off Relay Off
Blinking Green Relay Override On, could be either local
relay override, or if all relay LED’s are
blinking slowly more likely the master
override is On
All RELAYS All Relay LED’s
Short Off Long On
Master Override/ Bypass On
All Relay LED’s, Long Off, Short On Master Override/ Bypass Off
The inside of a relay cabinet, when energized, can be
DANGEROUS as HIGH VOLTAGES are present. Fatal accidents
are possible. Only trained authorized personnel should have
and gain access to the internal workings of your relay panel,
access is not required for any normal configuration or
operational purpose.

EZ- Max Plus Programming Guide Page 9
Master Override
See the figure below for the location of the master override. The master override has
three modes of operation:
•Normal—allows the Control Module and inputs to control the state of the relays.
•All ON—forces all of the relays to the ON state and the Control Module and inputs
can not turn the relays Off.
•All OFF—forces all of the relays to the OFF state and the Control Module and
inputs can not turn the relays On.

These buttons have one primary use with two modes of operation:
•Local override of individual relay without having to go through the Control Module.
•Temporary - Any control input with a higher priority can change its state.
•Locked Out - Event scheduler and control inputs, regardless of Priority will not
be able to alter its state.
Temporarily Overriding a Relay
Step 1: Open the cabinet door using the supplied key
Step 2: Press the button next to the relay you wish to change
The relay will audibly click when it changes states (ON to OFF and vice
versa)
There is a green LED above each relay override button. If the LED is
on, the relay is ON. I f the LED is OFF, the relay is OFF.
Step 3: Press the button again to turn the relay on and off.
Pressing the individual relay override button will always clear higher
priority overrides for the relay. This allows manual control of the relay
even when Emergency or Master Override is active.
Locking out a Relay using its Override Button
Step 1: Open the cabinet door using the supplied key
Step 2: Get the relay to the state that you want to Lock it in. For example, if you
wish to lock the relay in the On state and it is Off, press the button one
time to toggle the relay to the On state.

Step 3: Press and hold the button for approximately 5 seconds until the LED
beneath the button begins to blink.
The relay will audibly click when it changes states (ON to OFF and vice
versa)
There is a green LED above each relay override button. If the LED is
mostly on when it blinks, the relay is locked ON. I f the LED is mostly
OFF when it blinks, the relay is locked OFF.
Unlocking a Relay Using its Override Button:
Step 1: Open the cabinet door using the supplied key
Step 2: Press and release the button of the relay that is locked out
The relay will change its state from On to Off or vice versa
