Next, define the behavior for each of eight relay outputs.
Each relay may be set for momentary or latching output.
Check the Pair Relay Channels box in order for the relays
to act as mutually exclusive pairs. When this box is
checked, a command to one relay will cause the second
relay to de-energize.
Note: When the Pair Relay Channels box is checked, it is
recommended to configure the two paired relays with the same behavior (Latching / Latching or
Momentary / Momentary). If one relay is configured as Latching and the other as Momentary, a
command to the momentary relay will de-energize the latching relay. After the momentary
command is finished, both relays will remain de-energized until a new command is issued to
one of the relays.

Adding Plus-X Channels to the ARC Plus
Now that you have configured the input and output channels on the Plus-X 300, these channels
may be added to the ARC Plus site using AutoLoad Plus. To add Plus-X 300 channels to the

4. Check the box marked Map Default Set of Channels to add all eight inputs and eight
relays to the ARC Plus. If you are not using all Plus-X 300 channels or if you do not wish
for them to appear in sequential order, you will need to manually map these channels
later. In this case, leave the Map Default Set of Channels box unchecked.
5. Press OK to close the Plus-X Settings window. Press OK to close the Plus-X Devices
window.
6. To manually map Plus-X 300 channels to the ARC Plus, click the Metering, Status or
