NOTE: Products with CE marks perform their required functions safely and adhere to relevant standards as
specified by CE directives provided they are used according to their intended purpose and that the instructions in
this manual are adhered to. The protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if this equipment is used in a
manner not specified in this manual. A listing of our international affiliates is available on our Web site:

Warning: Providing a safe operating environment for personnel and equipment is your responsibility
and should be your primary goal during system planning and installation. Automation systems can
fail and may result in situations that can cause serious injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
Do not rely on the automation system alone to provide a safe operating environment. You should use
external electromechanical devices, such as relays or limit switches, that are independent of the PLC
application to provide protection for any part of the system that may cause personal injury or damage.
Every automation application is different, so there may be special requirements for your particular
application. Make sure you follow all national, state, and local government requirements for the proper
installation and use of your equipment.
Plan for Safety
The best way to provide a safe operating environment is to make personnel and equipment
safety part of the planning process. You should examine every aspect of the system to
determine which areas are critical to operator or machine safety. If you are not familiar with
control system installation practices, or your company does not have established installation
guidelines, you should obtain additional information from the following sources.
• NEMA — The National Electrical Manufacturers Association, located in Washington, D.C.
publishes many different documents that discuss standards for industrial control systems. You can
order these publications directly from NEMA. Some of these include:
ICS 1, General Standards for Industrial Control and Systems
ICS 3, Industrial Systems
ICS 6, Enclosures for Industrial Control Systems
• NEC — The National Electrical Code provides regulations concerning the installation and use of
various types of electrical equipment. Copies of the NEC Handbook can often be obtained from
your local electrical equipment distributor or your local library.
• Local and State Agencies — many local governments and state governments have additional
requirements above and beyond those described in the NEC Handbook. Check with your local
Electrical Inspector or Fire Marshall office for information.

Introduction
The installation and wiring of the C-more Micro panels requires selecting an appropriate
location for the touch panel, positioning the cutout dimensions on the surface of the control
cabinet that the panel will be mounted through, securing the touch panel with the provided
mounting clips, tightening the screws to the appropriate torque rating to assure the gasket is
sealing correctly, and finally connecting the appropriate power source to the touch panel.
This chapter covers the proper mounting of the touch panel and connecting power. Once
power is applied to the touch panel, the user will want to read Chapter 5 on the System Setup
Screens in order to become familiar with the touch panel test features and check memory
options.

Panel Cutout Dimensions

The C-more EA3 Series Micro panels are mounted into a cutout through the control cabinet
and secured with mounting clips. Four clips are used to mount models EA3-T6CL and EA3T8CL and eight clips are used with EA3-T10CL. There are slots on each side of the panel’s
long dimension that the two tabs on each mounting clip will match. The mounting clips
are held in place by inserting the tabs into the “T” shaped holes (slots) and then moving the
mounting clip toward the rear of the panel to keep it in place. Next tighten the mounting
clip screws to pull the rear of the panel’s bezel to the control cabinet’s mounting surface. The
screws need to be tightened to the torque rating shown in the illustration below so that the
gasket is compressed to form the proper seal between the panel and cabinet surface.

Providing Power to the C-more Micro Panel
EA3-S3ML-RN and EA3-S3ML-R
• EA3-S3ML-RN and EA3-S3ML-R C-more Micro panels are powered during programming from the
PC through the USB to RS-232 Programming Cable Assembly, EA-MG-PGM-CBL.
• During operation, EA3-S3ML-RN and EA3-S3ML-R C-more Micro panels can be powered
from most AutomationDirect PLC’s RJ12 serial communications port by using a DV-1000CBL
communications cable, or a DV-1000CBL communications cable with a FA-15HD 15-pin HD
DSub/RJ12 Adapter connected to a DirectLOGIC PLC’s 15-pin HD communications port (DL06,
D2-250-1 & D2-260) PLCs. See Chapter 6: PLC Communications for additional details.
