ZXT-120 Z-Extender (Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender) Operating Instructions Introduction The ZXT‐120 is a Z‐Wave to IR extender for air‐conditioner (AC), (Figure 1), it works with any Z‐Wave compliant gateway or controller by translating Z‐Wave Thermostat Commands to AC IR control code. User can select the IR code from the built‐in code library of ZXT‐120, or use learning function, by using Z‐Wave Configuration Commands according to the parameter table. ZXT‐120 is also with built‐in temperature sensor which allows gateway or controller to get the current room temperature. Figure 1 ZXT-120 ZXT‐120 can be configured as either “Frequently Listening Routing Slaves” FLiRS (if you are using battery) or “Always Listening” (if you are using 5Vdc adaptor) before inclusion process. Refer to Glossary for definition of “FLiRS” and “Always Listening” mode. ZXT‐120 supports Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) and Explore Frames. It also supports Z‐Wave networks with multiple gateways and controllers. Once the configuration and setup is complete, the gateway or controller can use Z‐Wave “Thermostat commands class” to control their IR‐controlled air‐conditioner through the ZXT‐120. ... -
Page 4: Controller And Gateway Requirements
Controller and Gateway Requirements The ZXT‐120 can work with any Z‐Wave compliant controller or gateway supporting the following Z‐Wave commands. Configuration Command Class Multilevel Sensor Command Class Thermostat Command Class Thermostat Mode Command Class Thermostat Fan Mode Command Class Thermostat Set‐point Command Class Built‐in IR code library The Built‐in IR code library supports most of the popular air conditioner brands in the market. Z‐Wave gateway and controller does not need to have any IR control code knowledge. User can use Z‐ Wave controller or gateway to select the IR code according to the ZXT‐ 120 code list separately provided through Z‐Wave configuration command. ... -
Page 5: Glossary
Glossary Device or Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z‐Wave device. These are all Node interchangeable when setting up your Z‐Wave network. Inclusion Add a Z‐Wave device to the network. Exclusion Delete a Z‐Wave device from the network. To take a device out of a group, scene or Remove association group while that device still exists in the same Z‐Wave network. A collection of Z‐Wave devices is controlled by primary and secondary controllers operating Z‐Wave on the same system. A Z‐Wave network has its Network own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot control the system. The first controller is used to set up your devices and network. Only the Primary Primary Controller can be used to include or delete Controller devices from a network. It is recommended that you mark the primary controller for each network for ease in modifying your network. Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) enables both end‐user friendly, Plug and Play like Z‐Wave network installation as well as professional Network Wide installation scenario where the inclusion Inclusion process in terms of time will be reduced (NWI) significantly. NWI is a feature supported by a new frame type named Explorer which enables the Z‐Wave protocol to implement Adaptive ... -

Page 17: Installation
Installation Mounting the ZXT‐120 to a wall MOUNTING LOCATION PRECAUTIONS Before mounting, check the material and structure of the mounting location. If the location does not have the proper material or structure, the ZXT‐120 can fall and cause injuries. Use commercial items that best match the wall structure and material for the screws and other fixtures. Do not mount near a kitchen counter, humidifier, or other location in which it can be exposed to smoke or steam. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock. Do not mount in locations with high humidity or large amounts of dust. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock. Do not mount to locations subject to high temperatures, high humidity, or exposure to water. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock. Do not mount to locations subject to large amounts of vibration, large jolts, or large forces. These could cause an injury if the ZXT‐ 120 falls and breaks. MOUNTING PROCEDURE PRECAUTIONS Do not modify parts or use the ZXT‐120 in ways other than its intended use. Doing so could cause the ZXT‐120 to fall and result in an injury. Be sure to fully check that there are no electrical wires or pipes inside the wall before mounting. If any of the screws are loose, the ZXT‐120 can fall and cause an injury. Do not mount the ZXT‐120 with the screws still loose. Check that the two screws mounted to the wall are fully inserted into the key holes of the ZXT‐120. Otherwise, the ZXT‐120 can fall and cause an injury. ... - Page 18 Note 2: Before mounting to a wall, be sure to fully read the precautions. Obtain two screws suitable for the wall strength and material. The screw size is shown in the figure below. The positional relationship between the ZXT‐120 key holes and the screw mounting positions are shown in the figure below. Note 1: When mounting the screws to the wall, leave a space between the wall and screw cap as shown in the figure. ...
- Page 19 Note 1: Check that the ZXT-120 is firmly secured to the wall. Note 2: Insert USB plug or batteries and IR emitter cable so that they are firmly connected to the ZXT-120. When removing the ZXT‐120 from the wall, lift up the ZXT‐120, then pull it towards you. Detach the main unit from the battery chassis by move toward to top position. ...

Page 20: Wireless Information
Wireless Information This device has an open‐air line‐of‐sight transmission distance of 25m which complies with the Z‐Wave standards. Performance can vary depending on the amount of objects in between Z‐Wave devices such as walls and furniture. Every Z‐Wave device set up in your network will act as a signal repeater allowing devices to talk to each other and find alternate routes in the case of a reception dead spot. Radio frequency limitations: 1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can reduce the maximum range of 20m by up to 20 to 30%. 2. Plasterboard and wooden walls block less of the radio signal then concrete, brick or tile walls which will have more of an effect on signal strength. 3. Wall mounted Z‐Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range if they are housed in metal junction boxes which could also reduce the range by up to 20 to 30%. Maintenance Do not expose your unit to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high temperatures or mechanical shocks. Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to leak. Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your unit. Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not disassemble your unit, it contains no user‐serviceable parts. Frequently asked questions Q Why won’t my ZXT‐120 work with the Z‐Wave devices I purchased from another country? A Due to different countries regulations Z‐Wave products from different regions are set to different frequencies. Before ... - Page 21 Q Can I use the USB port to configure ZXT‐120? A No, the mini USB port only provides an alternative option for user to power the ZXT‐120. Q Do I need an electrician to install Z‐Wave products in my house? A Installation can be simple. In some cases all you need to do is mount the ZXT‐120 to a wall or wooden racks. You also can place the ZXT‐120 on the desk and power it with dry cell batteries. Q How to select my air‐conditioner IR code from ZXT‐120? A You should refer to the code list and look into the brand and try the code no. sequentially until you find the right code. You can record down your device code under the table for future reference after setting up the ZXT‐120 correctly. Q ZXT‐120 is working on top and 4‐directions IR output, but there is no response on the IR emitter socket, why? A ZXT‐120 supports two IR power levels for the external IR emitter to avoid saturation of the IR receiver. You can set the IR output power level by the Parameter Table value (normal or high power mode) or adjust the position of your external IR emitter. Q Can I use 2 or more ZXT‐120 in my house? What is the max. units if yes? A Yes and it is very depend on the capability of gateway / controller. For example, gateway can supports up to 8, 16 or 32 ZXT‐120 in a network. Q How to avoid the IR interference if I am using 2 identical air‐ conditioners in same location but want to control them individually? A User can disable the Surround IR Output function, connect the external IR emitter and aim it at the specific AC unit. The ...
