Plus-X EM64
3 INSTALLING SENSORS AND SWITCH INPUTS
5CONNECT TO AN ARC PLUS TOUCH OR
ARC PLUS SL
The Plus-X EM64 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 EM64 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 EM64 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
. To manually map Plus-X channels to the ARC Plus, click the Meter Channels or Status
Channels 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.
. Use the other Meter and Status tabs in AutoLoad Plus to configure additional Alarm,
Actions, Notifications and Display settings for the newly added Plus-X EM64 channels.
.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.
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 EM64 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 64 sensors within the
Plus-X EM64. External sensors connect to the front panel Sensor inputs and the rear panel Switch Inputs on the Plus-X EM64.
The pinouts for the front panel Sensor inputs are follows:
4CONFIGURE SENSOR INPUTS AND PLUS-X CHANNELS
Both digital sensors and switch inputs appear automatically on the Sensors page of the Plus-X EM64 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 EM64 input port is
connected with a Burk Sensor Cable (Crossover) to the first
sensor in the daisy chain.

Rear Switch Inputs
The Plus-X EM64 has rear panel connections for eight unpowered Switch Inputs such as door contacts. These require
a two-wire connection. Connect one wire to ground and the other to the numbered input terminal using the
included 16-pin “Phoenix” type connector.
Refer to the Climate Guard & Plus-X EM Installation and Operation Manual for further
information on configuring and operating the Plus-X EM64 unit.
