The Purpose of this Manual
Thank you for purchasing our C-more® Touch Panel family of products. This manual
describes AutomationDirect.com’s C-more Touch Panels, their specifications, included
components, available accessories and provides you with important information for
installation, connectivity and setup. The manual shows you how install, wire and use the
products. It also helps you understand how to interface the panels to other devices in a
control system.
This user manual contains important information for personnel who will install the touch
panels and accessories, and for the personnel who will be programming the panel. If you
understand control systems that make use of operating interfaces such as the C-more touch
panels, our user manuals will provide all the information you need to get, and keep your
system up and running.
Supplemental Manuals
If you are familiar with industrial control type devices, you may be able to get up and running
with just the aide of the Quick Start Guide that is included with each touch panel. You can
also refer to the On-line help that is available in the C-more programming software for more
information about programming the panel.
Technical Support
We strive to make our manuals the best in the industry. We rely on your feedback to let
us know if we are reaching our goal. If you cannot find the solution to your particular
application, or, if for any reason you need technical assistance, please call us at:
770–844–4200
Our technical support group will work with you to answer your questions. They are available
Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time. We also encourage you

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, iOS or Android 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. Refer to
Appendix C - Security Considerations for Control Systems Networks.

Step 6 – Provide Power to the Touch Panel
• Connect a dedicated 12-24 VDC Class 2 power supply to the DC connector on the rear of the

C-more touch panel, include wiring the ground terminal to a proper equipment ground
• or install a C-more AC/DC Power Adapter, EA-AC, to the rear of the touch panel and connect an
AC voltage source of 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hertz, to its AC connector (see note below)
• 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 (see next page)
NOTE: A dedicated power supply is recommended. If the power supply also feeds inductive loads such as
solenoids or relays, the transients caused by these loads can affect the operation of the panel or damage panel
components.
