•  Purchase the C-more programming software, EA9-PGMSW at 

AutomationDirect.com

. EA9-PGMSW is available on CD or by 

direct download.

•  Install EA9-PGMSW on your PC.

•  Use the software to create a project.

•  Download the project to the 

C-more 

panel from the software via 

Ethernet or USB cable or on USB memory or SD card

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, iPhone or iPad 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.

Wire a 

dedicated 12-24 VDC 

power source to the DC connector on the rear 

of the 

C-more

 touch panel, include wiring the ground terminal to a proper 

equipment ground. The recommended power supply is AutomationDirect 
p/n: PSC24-060

•  

or

 install a C-more AC/DC Power Adapter, p/n EA-AC, to the rear of the touch panel and 

wire an AC voltage source of 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hertz, to its AC connector

•  

then

 turn on the power source and check the LED status indicators on the front and rear 

of the 

C-more
