Safety Guidelines

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: http://www.automationdirect.com

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 C-more® Micro-Graphic panels require selecting an appropriate

location for the panel, laying out the cutout dimensions on the surface of the control cabinet

that the panel will be mounted through, securing the 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 panel.

Note: Each C-more Micro-Graphic panel is provided with a cutout template to make marking the proper

cutout size on the surface of the control cabinet that the panel will be mounted through a simple task. The

keypad bezels are also provided with an appropriate cutout template for mounting convenience.

The C-more 3” Micro-Graphic panels include two mounting clips. The clip is a long metal

bracket with two screws. It is fitted to the panel by inserting two tabs into mating slots on the

panel and then sliding the clip into a narrower slot to secure it in place.

If using the panel with either the 8-button or 20-button Keypad Bezel, then install the panel

into the keypad bezel and secure with the mounting clips that are provided with the panel.

Create a cutout in the enclosure that the assembled panel and keypad bezel will be mounted

through and secure the assembly with the mounting clips that are provided with the keypad

bezel. See Chapter 3: Accessories for additional details.

This chapter only covers the proper mounting of the panel and connecting power. Once power

is applied to the panel, read Chapter 5, System Setup Screens, to check the information menu

to make sure the panel has the latest version of firmware, become familiar with the panel test

features, and check the memory usage.

The next step will be to select the appropriate PLC protocol and communications cable as

described in Chapter 6.

Panel Cutout Dimensions (all models)

The C-more 3” panel is mounted into a cutout through the control cabinet and secured with

two (2) mounting clips. The mounting clips are provided with the panel. There is a set of two

(2) “T” shaped holes (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.

Wiring Guidelines

Warning: To minimize the risk of potential safety problems, you should follow all applicable local and

national codes that regulate the installation and operation of your equipment. These codes vary from

area to area and it is your responsibility to determine which codes should be followed, and to verify

that the equipment, installation, and operation are in compliance with the latest revision of these

codes.

Equipment damage or serious injury to personnel can result from the failure to follow all applicable

codes and standards. We do not guarantee the products described in this publication are suitable for

your particular application, nor do we assume any responsibility for your product design, installation,

or operation.

If you have any questions concerning the installation or operation of this equipment, or if you need

additional information, please call us at 1-800-633-0405 or 770-844-4200.

This publication is based on information that was available at the time it was printed. At

Automationdirect.com® we constantly strive to improve our products and services, so we reserve

the right to make changes to the products and/or publications at any time without notice and without

obligation. This publication may also discuss features that may not be available in certain revisions of

the product.

Providing Power to the Micro-Graphic Panel

• The C-more Micro-Graphic panel is powered during programming from the PC through the USB to

RS-232 Programming Cable Assembly, EA-MG-PGM-CBL.

• During operation, the C-more Micro-Graphic panel 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.

• The 3” panel can also be powered by installing either the EA-MG-P1 DC Power Adapter, or the

EA-MG-SP1 Serial Port with DC Power Adapter to the back of the panel and supply the adapter

from a 1 Amp @ 12-24 VDC power source.

Panel Powered from AutomationDirect PLC via Communications Cable

NOTE: Maximum cable length when the panel is powered via the DV-1000CBL using an AutomationDirect

PLC is 10 feet.

PSC-24-015 or PSC-24-030.

NOTE: If either the EA-MG-P1 DC Power Adapter or the EA-MG-SP1 Serial Port with DC Power Adapter is

installed on the 3” Micro-Graphic panel, then the adapter must be powered. The error message below will

be displayed on the panel if power is not applied. The RJ12 serial communications port (Port 1) on the

panel can still be used to communicate with a PLC or control device while using one of the adapters, but the

+5 VDC power through the serial cable from AutomationDirect PLC’s RJ12 serial comm port is not used.
