Question
What do I need to do to replace/upgrade my old EZ Touch panel to a CMore panel?
Answer
The EZ Touch panels & EZ Touch Editor software that we used to sell are obsolete.We replaced these panels with our CMore product line.
The CMore requires its own software; CMore Programming Software.
The CMore software does not communicate with the EZ Touch panels.
The EZ Touch software does not communicate with the CMore panels.
They are manufactured and developed by two different companies. We do, however, offer an upgrade path so that you can open the EZ Touch project files and they can be converted to CMore.
The CMore software can open the EZ Touch files created with EZ Touch Editor version 3.1A, which is the last version of that software we sold.
The CMore software for the EA7 series panels can convert the project and you can then save it as a CMore project, which you can load into a CMore panel.
If you don't have the EZ Touch Editor software version 3.1A, but you do have an earlier version, you can download the free upgrade to version 3.1A from our website at:
http://support.automationdirect.com/products/eztouch.html
Once downloaded and installed, this will upgrade your older EZ Touch Editor software to version 3.1A. You can then open your projects and resave them and they will now be version 3.1A. You can open this version with the CMore software and convert it to a CMore version.
If you don't want to upgrade your EZ Touch Editor software, you can contact us in Technical Support and we'll be glad to convert your older versions to EZ Touch 3.1A and email them back to you.
If you don't have the EZ Touch Editor software, we have a procedure that allows a customer to send us their EZ Touch panel. We will attempt to extract the project from the panel and then send the panel and the project files back. There are some dangers with this option, since the project is only saved in the panel with a battery when power is off. We strongly recommend that you replace this battery before removing power and shipping the panel. The battery is a 3.6V lithium 1/2 AA battery and can be purchased from most battery vendors. Before changing the battery, make sure the panel is powered with 24VDC since either power or the battery must be present in order for the project to be retained in the panel. You should call into the Technical Support Department and ask to speak to a tech about sending in your EZ Touch panel to have the project extracted.
- The EZ Touch Editor software we sold creates seven files for each EZ Touch project. The file extensions are:
- .ALR
- .ANO
- .ATR
- .EZT
- .MAP
- .MSD
- .OPT
Each of these files share the same project name. The CMore software needs all seven of these files in order to import and convert the project, even if some of them are zero length files.

Due to a bug in earlier version of the EzTouch Software you could have Text Objects that too long to convert properly (greater than 40 characters) if any of the converted Text Objects do not appear correctly or you get an error in conversion, you will have to edit the text objects in the EzTouch Software to make the strings/text 40 characters or less.
Finally, the manufacturer of our old EZ Touch panels continues to make a version of the software that is newer than the version we sold, so their versions will be higher than 3.1A. If you use their newer software it creates a single file for the project, where the version we sold creates seven files.
We can not import or convert projects created with the newer EzTouch software such as version 4.x or 5.x.This is a single .EZP file.
The CMore panels are designed as drop-in replacements for the EZ Touch panels. The only exception to this is the older EZ Touch panels whose part numbers don't end in an S, for slim bezels. The EZTouch panels that didn't have the slim bezels require an adapter.
