AutoLoad Plus menu, select Edit->Plus-X Devices and
click “Add”. The dialog box shown below will be
displayed.

Select the type of Plus X device and enter its
network information.
Note:
If adding more than one Plus X device to an
ARC Plus, adjust the starting channel so that
other assigned channels are not overwritten.
•
Select OK to confirm the first Plus X device.
•
If adding more than one Plus X device, repeat
the same steps.
•
Save the configuration by selecting File>Save in
AutoLoad Plus.
To confirm that everything is communicating, log in to
the ARC Plus SL using the web browser. All assigned
channels should show their default values.

configuration and ensure the configuration is
saved within AutoLoad Plus.

ADDING PLUS-X DEVICES
For information on configuring input and output channels and calibrating meter inputs, see the ARC Plus SL
Instruction Manual.
Connecting a Meter or Status Input
1. Connect your site equipment to the provided
push-on block connectors. Secure the wires with
the built-in setscrews. The status or metering
sample connects to the + terminal, and a common
ground connects to the – terminal.
2. Connect the push-on blocks to the rear panel of
the Plus-X device with the setscrews facing up. Be
sure to precisely align the connector terminals to
the + and – contacts on the back panel of the unit.
Connecting a Relay Output
1. Connect your site equipment to the provided
three-terminal push-on block connectors. Secure
the wires with the built-in setscrews. Connections
are standard, from left to right: common (C),
normally open (NO), and normally closed (NC).
2. Connect the push-on blocks to the rear panel of
the Plus-X device with the setscrews facing up.
Use care to properly align each terminal with the
contacts on the back panel of the unit.
