This Quick Start Guide will show you how to set up the Plus-X IIU in four simple steps. For detailed configuration and setup information,
visit www.burk.com/downloads, select the Plus-X IIU support page and download the Plus-X IIU Installation and Operation Manual.
2NETWORK SETUP
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.
(CONTINUED )
4. Open a browser and enter the Plus-X IIU 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.
1. Plug in the power cord and connect the Plus-X IIU 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 PLUSXIIU/ 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 IIU 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 IIU 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 IIU 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 IIU. 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 IIU. 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
IIU should be connected to the normal LAN.
9. Log in to the Plus-X IIU 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 PLUSXIIU 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.

To manually map Plus-X channels to the ARC Plus, click the Meter or Status
tab as appropriate. 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.
Configure labels, limits, and alarms for the newly added Plus-X channels.
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.
Select File>Save to save the changes to the ARC Plus.
The Plus-X IIU 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 IIU 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 conrm the rst Plus X device.
•If adding more than one Plus X device, repeat the same steps.
•Save the conguration by selecting File>Save in AutoLoad Plus
To conrm that the Plus-X IIU 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
Note: If the meter or status inputs show as offline or a warning is displayed,
check the network conguration and ensure the conguration is saved
within AutoLoad Plus.
Refer to the Plus-X IIU Installation and Operation Manual for further
information on conguring and operating the Plus-X IIU unit.

QUICK START GUIDE
Each Plus-X IIU connects up to 16 metering inputs (±10VDC) and 16 status inputs (0-28VDC or
switch closure). Meter inputs may be used as status channels by setting the high and low voltage
thresholds. The meter and status pin-outs are as shown in the graphic below.
1. Connect your site equipment to the provided 16-
pin 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 IIU with the setscrews facing up. Be sure to
precisely align the connector terminals to the + and –
contacts on the back panel of the unit.
For information on conguring and calibrating input channels, see the Plus-X IIU Installation &
Operation Manual.

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.
e. ARC Plus IP address – Enter the IP address of the ARC Plus Touch or ARC Plus SL unit that the Plus-X
IIU 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.
