Introduction
There are two manuals that you will need to use the EZTouch Panel — this
manual, the EZTouch Panel Hardware User Manual, and the EZTouch PanelProgramming Software User Manual (included with P/N EZ-TOUCHEDIT, EZTouch Programming Software). Don’t worry — you won’t be bouncing back
and forth between them — and we’ll always let you know exactly where the
information is that you will need for the next step.
These manuals will take you through the steps necessary to get your EZTouch
Panel up and running in the shortest possible time. Although your familiarity
with programmable graphic operator interface devices will determine how quickly
Easy as 1 - 2 - 3
you move through the steps — it’s as easy as 1 — 2 — 3. The flow chart below
will show you where you need to go, and — how to get there from here!

Design
Screens
EZTouch Programming Software is a user-friendly Windows-based program
that allows you to design screens for the EZTouch Panel series of operator
interfaces. To install EZTouch Panel Programming Software, run the install
program from the CD and follow the onscreen prompts. For more information,
please refer to the EZTouch Programming Software Manual.
You can start designing your screen off-line immediately after installing EZTouch Programming Software — you don’t need to have the
hardware installed!
This manual will provide you with the instructions you need to install the EZTouch Panel. Included are mounting diagrams for both Stud Mounting (page
16) and DIN Clip Mounting (page 27). Connections and wiring requirements
are provided beginning on page 29. Option Card connector information is
provided beginning on page 32. Panel Setup instructions begin on page 41.
For Maintenance information, see Chapter 5 (page 45) and for Troubleshooting, refer to Chapter 6 (page 55).
You may design your screen on-line or off-line (without connection to an EZTouch Panel). When designing screens with EZTouch Programming Software,
you will program objects on the EZTouch Panel providing a graphical interface
designed to interchange and display data from a PLC by merely viewing or
touching the screen — all unique to your particular application. For instructions on how to design screens, refer to the EZTouch Panel Programming Soft-ware User Manual.

Need HELP?
Help is never more than a mouse click or a key press away!
Onscreen HELP
One of the most important features of the EZTouch Programming Software is
the availability of context sensitive onscreen help. To access the Help windows, simply press the F1 function key while on the topic where you need
help. For example, if you need help while working with screens, hit the F1
function key while in that area and a popup window will be displayed. Also,
most dialog boxes contain a Help button, you may click on it to get help, too!
Fly-Over HELP
When the mouse cursor comes to rest over any tool bar or object button for a
short while, a small window will appear containing a brief description of the
function of that particular button. The window will disappear as soon as the
cursor has been moved off the button.
PLC HELP
If you need help with the PLC to EZTouch Panel Interface, consult the EZTouch Panel Programming Software Help. Each PLC Driver has a Help Topic
that lists the error messages and provides an explanation for each. Also provided are PLC to EZTouch Panel wiring diagrams.
Although most questions can be answered with EZTouch HELP or the manuals, if you are still having difficulty with a particular aspect of installation or
screen design, technical support is available at 1-770-844-4200 or FAX us at
1-770-886-3199. Visit our website at www.Automationdirect.com.
PLEASE NOTE: Chapter 6, Troubleshooting, at the end of this
manual should be able to help you with most problems you might
encounter.

Installing the EZTouch Panel requires the following three major steps:
The EZTouch Panel is a front-panel mount unit. Mounting of the unit requires
a panel cutout, and drilling six, eight, or ten holes (depending on the model) for
the mounting screws. You may also mount the 6-inch units using the optional
DIN clips. Some 6-inch units (Slim Bezel models) can only be mounted using
DIN clips. The 8-, 10- and 15-inch Slim Bezel Models are Stud Mount ONLY.
Please see the Mounting section beginning on page 16 for mounting diagrams
and instructions.
CAUTION: DO NOT use any thread locking compounds to secure
the studs to Plastic Bezel Models. Many of these compounds will
!!
!
!!
degrade the plastic housing.
Now that your EZTouch Panel is mounted, you are ready to connect your unit
to the power source, PLC, and programming computer or printer. The EZTouch
Panel’s PLC Port and COM1 Port support RS-232C, RS-422A and RS-485A
connections. Note that the EZTouch Panel is a DC powered unit (24 VDC).
See the section on Connections and Wiring, beginning on page 29 for further
information. See the section on Option Card Installation, beginning on page
32 if you have an option card installed in your EZTouch Panel.
The EZTouch Panel has some adjustable features and panel tests, such as,
Contrast, Clock, and Touchpad Test. You will also select whether the COM1
port will be used to connect to a Programming PC or a printer. The unit is
shipped with factory default values for some of these features, but they can be
adjusted by the user. To change any value, enter the SETUP MODE on powerup
and follow the procedures provided in the Communications Setup section be-
ginning on page 41.
EZTouch is a panel-mount unit. Most 6-inch units (6-inch Slim models are DIN Clip mounted only)
can be mounted using one of the following methods: 1. Studs; or 2. DIN Clips. 8-, 10-, and 15-inch
units are stud mounted only. The following diagrams show the outline and cutout dimensions necessary to mount the panel using Method 1. Studs. (See pages 27 and 28 for diagrams showing
Method 2. DIN Clips.)

Removing power from the EZTouch Panel does not normally cause a loss
of the user program that is stored in the panel unless the battery voltage
is low or the battery has been removed. A low battery can be programmed
to a hard-coded system alarm that will display a message on all userprogrammed screens.* It is recommended that you back up your user
program on multiple PC disks and/or install a flash option card, which
will provide a nonvolatile storage of the user program.
The steps to install a Flash option card and to load the user program onto
a Flash option card are as follows:
1. Run the EZTouch Programming Software and connect the PC serial
port to COM1 on the panel. Power up the panel.
2. If the user program is not stored on the connected PC, then “Transfer
the program from the panel.” See the instructions below, “To save
program to computer disk, ...”
3. Then save the user program to disk by performing the following steps:
a. Power down panel.
b. Install Flash option card (see page 50).
c. Power up panel.
d. Transfer saved program to the panel.
