QUICK START GUIDE
1. Plug in the power cord and connect the Plus-X 600 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 PLUSX600/ 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 600 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 600 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 600 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 600. Running Windows, the following steps will allow you to
configure your PC with a compatible IP address:
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 600. 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
600 should be connected to the normal LAN.
9. Log in to the Plus-X 600 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.
a. NetBIOS/Hostname – This name should be changed from its default
value of PLUSX600 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
factory default setting can be used.
d. Gateway – Check with your network administrator otherwise the
factory default setting can be used.
This Quick Start Guide will show you how to set up the Plus-X 600 in four simple steps. For detailed conguration and setup information,

the … button in the Source column. This will bring up the Source dialog.
Click the Plus-X channel button and choose the Plus-X device and
channel you wish to use.
2. Configure labels, limits, and alarms for the newly added Plus-X channels.
3. Lastly, you will need to calibrate the metering channels. If you have not
already connected the input connector blocks, do so now. Then click
the Calibration icon at the far right of the Source column in the
AutoLoad Plus Meter Channels tab to complete the calibration process.
The Plus-X 600 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

3 CONNECTING STATUS, METERS AND RELAYS ON THE PLUS-X 600
The Plus-X 600 is a versatile I/O solution providing 16 status inputs, 8 metering inputs and 6 raise/
lower command pairs that can be unpaired through the Plus-X 600 web GUI Relay Pairs link.
Connecting a Meter or Status Input
1. Connect your site equipment to the provided 6-pin
push-on block connectors. Notice common ground
is shared between two meter or status channels.
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 600 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 nine-
pin 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 600 with the setscrews facing up. Use care to
properly align each terminal with the contacts on the
back panel of the unit.
For information on configuring input and command channels and calibrating meter inputs, see
the Installation & Operation Manual for the Plus-X 600 unit and ARC Plus.
