  • Page 3: Introduction

    (Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender) 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.
  • Page 4: Controller And Gateway Requirements

    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.
