ZXT-310 (Z-Wave-to-AV IR Extender) Operating Instructions Introduction ZXT‐310 is a Z‐Wave‐to‐AV IR Extender (Figure 1) and it works with any Z‐Wave compliant controller or gateway by translating Z‐Wave Simple AV command to IR control code. User can set the IR code from the built‐in code library of ZXT‐310, or use the learning function of ZXT‐310 through any Z‐Wave controller or gateway. Figure 1. Operation diagram It also supports Z‐Wave networks with multiple gateways and controllers. Like every Z‐Wave accessory, the user will need to include the ZXT‐310 into his Z‐Wave network using the primary controller. Then, the user can use either the primary controller or secondary controller to configure and setup the ZXT‐310 using Z‐Wave’s configuration command class. Once the configuration and setup is completed, the controller can use Z‐Wave’s “Simple AV commands class” to control their IR‐controlled AV equipment with the ZXT‐310. User can enjoy fully wireless control and home automation system anywhere at home. ...
Controller and Gateway Requirements The ZXT‐310 is architected to work with any Z‐Wave compliant controller or gateway supporting the following Z‐Wave commands. Configuration Command Class Simple AV Command Class Multi‐channel Command Class (optional) Built‐in IR code library The built‐in IR code library enables the ZXT‐310 to work with any Z‐ Wave compliant gateway and controller. Gateway and controller will not need to have any knowledge related to IR control code. It also eliminates the need for complex set up procedures and proprietary Z‐ Wave commands to configure the system. The IR code library supports various brand name of AV equipment found in the today’s market. User can use his controller or gateway to send a 4 digits AV IR code number (include the brand selection) using standard Z‐Wave configuration command. Host based IR code library ZXT‐310 also supports host‐based library upgrade for 6 AV database. Once gateway support this advanced feature, 6 AV database can be upgraded by gateway very easily and support different regions and customers. ...
Glossary Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z‐Wave device. These are all Device or 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 Z‐Wave operating on the same system. A Z‐Wave Network network has its 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 Controller can be used to include or delete Primary modules from a network. It is recommended Controller 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 installation scenario where the inclusion Network Wide process in terms of time will be reduced Inclusion (NWI) significantly. NWI is a feature supported by a new frame type named Explorer which enables the Z‐Wave protocol to implement ...

Installation Mounting the ZXT‐310 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‐310 can fall and cause an injury. • 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 exposed 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‐ 310 falls and breaks. MOUNTING PROCEDURE PRECAUTIONS • Do not modify parts or use the ZXT‐310 in ways other than its intended use. Doing so could cause the ZXT‐310 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‐310 can fall and cause an injury. Do not mount the ZXT‐310 with the screws still loose. • Check that the two screws mounted to the wall are fully inserted into the key holes of the ZXT‐310. Otherwise, the ZXT‐310 can fall and cause an injury. ...

Insert the ZXT‐310 key holes onto the two screws mounted to the wall, and then slide downward to secure in place. After securing the ZXT‐310 to the wall, connect the AC/DC adaptor and cables to the ZXT‐310. Note 1: Check that the ZXT-310 is firmly secured to the wall. Note 2: Insert the AC/DC adaptor and IR emitter cable so that they are firmly connected to the ZXT-310. When removing the ZXT‐310 from the wall, lift up the ZXT‐310, then pull it towards you. ...
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 house 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 as they are housed in metal junction boxes which could 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 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 unit 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 purchasing new devices make sure you have checked to see that the device is compatible in your region. ...

ZXT‐310 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‐310 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 1, 6 or more ZXT‐310 in a network.
