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.

Setup and Operations
Before using the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender, please read the INSTALLATION if you need to mount
the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender to a wall. Power up the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender by the USB
Power 5Vdc or Dry battery AAA x 3pcs.
-Plug-in 5Vdc power into the USB socket if operated at Always Listening mode. Or
-Install 3xAAA batteries if operated at FLiRS mode.
-Please refer to the section of [MOUNTING PROCEDURE].
-Remove the battery cover on the back of your Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender battery chassis.
-Mount the battery cover into the main unit with 2 screws.
-Check the polarity of the batteries and the "+/-" marks inside the battery compartment.
-Insert the batteries.
-Push the battery cover and main unit back in place.
CAUTION (battery and power adaptor safety)
- Use new batteries of the recommended type and size only.
- Never mix used and new batteries together.
- To avoid chemical leaks, remove batteries from the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender if you do not
intend to use the remote for an extended period of time.
-Dispose of used batteries properly; do not burn or bury them.
(Please carefully read through the following then store the manual for future reference.)

Reset Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender to factory default
Press and hold "PROG" button for 10 seconds on Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender. During the key hold
period, RED LED lights up at around 5 seconds, then, it will flash twice until reset process is
completed at around 10 seconds.
Information
-This reset step will not affect the listening mode of Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender, user should
refer to "Listening Mode" section if you want to change the listening mode.
-If you are using Gateway or other Z-wave controllers to operate Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender,
please follow the instruction from the gateway or other controller.
Installation
Mounting the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender 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 Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender 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 Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender falls and breaks.
MOUNTING PROCEDURE PRECAUTIONS
-Do not modify parts or use the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender in ways other than its intended use.
Doing so could cause the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender 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 Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender can fall and cause an injury. Do not
mount the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender with the screws still loose.
-Check that the two screws mounted to the wall are fully inserted into the key holes of the Z-
Wave-to-AC IR Extender. Otherwise, the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender can fall and cause an
injury.
-Do not mount the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender so that it sticks out from the wall edge. It could get
hit by people's bodies or objects and cause an injury.
-Supplier will not be liable for any accidents or injuries that occur due to improper mounting or
handling.
When mounting, be careful not to get your fingers pinched or injure your hands.
MOUNTING PROCEDURE
The Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender can be mounted to a wall or wooden racks using the two key holes
in the bottom case.
Note 1: The reception sensitivity varies depending on the antenna direction.
Note 2: Before mounting to a wall, be sure to fully read the precautions.
1. Obtain two screws suitable for the wall strength and material. The screw size is shown in the
figure below.
2. The positional relationship between the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender 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.
3. Insert the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender key holes onto the two screws mounted to the wall, and then
slide downward to secure in place.
4. After securing the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender to the wall, connect the USB Power or batteries
and IR emitter cable to the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender.
Note 1: Check that the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender 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
Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender.
5. When removing the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender from the wall, lift up the Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender, then
pull it towards you.
6. Detach the main unit from the battery chassis by move toward to top position
