Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender
USER MANUAL

Introduction

The Z-Wave to IR extender for air-conditioner (AC) 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 Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender, or use learning function, by
using Z-Wave Configuration Commands according to the parameter table. AC IR Extender is also
with built-in temperature sensor which allows gateway or controller to get the current room
temperature.
Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender 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.
Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender 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 Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender.

Controller and Gateway Requirements

The Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender 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 Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender
code list separately provided through Z-Wave configuration command.
