This Quick Start Guide will show you how to set up the Plus-X EM32 in five simple steps. For detailed configuration and setup
information, visit www.burk.com/downloads, select the Plus-X EM32 support page and download the Plus-X EM32 Installation and
Operation Manual.
2NETWORK SETUP
1. Plug in the power cord and connect the Plus-X EM32 to your network via the rear-panel Ethernet
connector.
2. If your network supports DHCP functionality, a dynamic IP address will be assigned to the unit. If
DCHP is not supported on your network skip ahead to step 3 now. To access the unit, launch a
web browser and enter the hostname PLUSXEM32/ in the browser’s address field then skip to step
5. Be sure to include the forward-slash symbol in the hostname.
3. If your network doesn’t support DHCP, the Plus-X EM32 will assign itself the default IP address
192.168.0.100. You will need to connect a PC with a web browser to the Plus-X EM32 at this IP
address before you can change the network settings on the unit. One way to do this is to unplug
your PC from any other LAN and connect your PC to the Plus-X EM32 via a network switch or a
cross-over ethernet cable. Then configure your PC with a compatible IP address so that you may
connect to the Plus-X EM32. Running Windows, the following steps will allow you to configure your
PC with a compatible IP address:
1 From the Control Panel, select Network Connections. 5 Select Properties.
2 Double-click the icon for the network you will be using. 6 Choose “Use the following IP address” and enter an IP address of
192.168.0.x, where x is any valid address location except 100.
3 On the General tab, click Properties. 7 Enter Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
4 Click Internet Protocol version 4 “TCP/IPv4”. 8 Click OK.
4. Open a browser and enter the Plus-X EM32 default IP address of 192.168.0.100.
5. The web page will prompt you to set a password for the administrator account.
6. The login screen will then be displayed. Enter the username admin and the password you
supplied above.
7. The first screen displayed after initial login is an abbreviated Network page requiring you to enter
a static IP address for the Plus-X EM32. Check with your network administrator for an available IP
address that is not within the DHCP address range.
8. Your browser will be automatically redirected to the new IP address. If your initial
connection was made without DHCP, your PC should now be restored to its prior
network settings and both the PC and the Plus-X EM32 should be connected to the
normal LAN.
9. Log in to the Plus-X EM32 at its new static IP address, go to the Settings tab on the
web page and select Network to change the network information.
Add the following network information and select save to confirm the changes.
10. To verify communication, open a command prompt on your computer and ping
the address you just assigned to the unit to ensure it is correctly configured.
a. NetBIOS/Hostname – This name should be changed from its default value of
PLUSXEM32 so conflicts will not occur if multiple Plus-X devices of the same
model are installed on the network.
b. IP Address – This field will display the static IP address you entered in a
previous step.
c. Subnet Mask – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factor
default setting can be used.
d. Gateway – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory
default setting can be used.
e. ARC Plus IP address – Enter the IP address of the ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus
SL unit that the Plus-X EM32 will be connected to.
f. HTTP Port – Check with your network administrator. The factory default setting
is port 80.
g. Plus-X Port – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory
default setting can be used. This port must match the setting for Plus-X Port on
your ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus SL unit.

3 INSTALLING SENSORS AND SWITCH INPUTS
5CONNECT TO AN ARC PLUS TOUCH OR
ARC PLUS SL
The Plus-X EM32 communicates with the ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus SL via
LAN/WAN, allowing installation anywhere a network connection is available.
Use AutoLoad Plus to add the
Plus-X device to the ARC Plus
Touch or ARC Plus SL unit. Ensure
you have the current version
of AutoLoad Plus installed on
your computer. To obtain the
current version, visit www.burk.
com/downloads and select the
AutoLoad Plus support page. On
the AutoLoad Plus menu, select
Edit->Plus-X Devices and click Add.
The dialog box shown to the right
will be displayed.
•Select Plus-X EM32 and enter its network information.
Note: If adding more than one Plus X device to an ARC Plus, change 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 the Plus-X EM32 is communicating, log in to the ARC Plus
Touch or ARC Plus SL using the web browser. All assigned channels
should show their default values.
MANUALLY MAPPING PLUS-X CHANNELS
1. To manually map Plus-X channels to the ARC Plus, click the Command
tab. Locate an unused channel and click the […] button in the Source
column. This will bring up the Source dialog. Click the Plus-X button and
choose the Plus-X device and channel you wish to use.
2. Use the Commands tab in AutoLoad Plus to configure additional relay
settings for the newly added Plus-X EM32 channels.
3. Select File>Save to save the changes to the ARC Plus.
Note: If the channels show as offline or a warning is displayed, check the
network configuration and ensure the configuration is saved within AutoLoad
Plus.
Refer to the Climate Guard and Plus-X EM Installation and Operation
Manual for further information on configuring and operating the Plus-X EM32
unit.
Sensor input cabling may be
extended using RJ-12
Couplers and additional
Sensor Cables, available from
Burk Technology.
Digital sensors may be daisy
chained using Burk part
numbers: RJ-12 Splitter,
Sensor Cable, and Sensor
Cable - Daisy Chain as shown
in the diagram. The Burk
Sensor Cable has cross-over
wiring, while Sensor Cable-
Daisy Chain has straight-
through wiring.
The Plus-X EM32 supports digital sensors for temperature and humidity monitoring, powered switch inputs
such as motion sensors and smoke detectors and unpowered switch inputs like door contacts providing up
to 32 sensors within the Plus-X EM32.
Wiring digital sensors and powered switch inputs
All external sensors connect to the front panel Sensor inputs on the Plus-X EM32. The pinouts are as follows:
4CONFIGURE SENSOR INPUTS AND PLUS-X CHANNELS
Both digital sensors and switch inputs appear automatically on the Sensors page of the Plus-X EM32 web
interface. Once the wiring of the sensors and switch inputs is complete, you can begin to configure the
inputs. Click the Edit button next to a digital sensor to edit its settings.
The following settings are configurable:
Assign Sensors to Plus-X Channels From the setup page, select Plus-X
Meters or Status from the list on the left side. Use the drop-down box for
each Plus-X Meter or Status channel to assign a sensor to that channel.
Plus-X channels assigned in this screen can later be mapped to any ARC
Plus channel as described in the following section.
Important Note: Be sure the Plus-X EM32 input port is
connected with a Burk Sensor Cable (Crossover) to the first
sensor in the daisy chain.
