The Purpose of this Manual

Thank you for purchasing from our C-more® Micro family of products. This manual describes AutomationDirect.com’s C-more Micro panels, specifications, included components and available accessories and provides you with important information for installation, connectivity and setup. The manual shows you how to 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 panels and accessories, and for the personnel who will be programming the panel. If you understand control systems making use of operating interfaces such as the C-more Micro 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 panel. You may also refer to the online help that is available in the C-more Micro programming software.

EA3-S3ML-RN and EA3-S3ML-R C-more Micro panels include a built-in RJ12 RS-232 serial communications port designated as Port 1. The EA-MG-PGM-CBL programming cable assembly connects to this port for programming the C-more Micro with a PC. In operation, the DV-1000CBL cable is used to connect to any AutomationDirect PLC with an RJ12 port. These panels are powered through Port1 when using either of these cables.
