IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
To avoid contact with electrical current:
Never install an Ethernet connection in wet locations unless that connector is
specifically designed for wet locations.
Do not place Ethernet wiring or connections in any conduit, outlet or junction box
containing electrical wiring.
Installation of inside wire may bring you close to electrical wire, conduit, terminals
and other electrical facilities. Extreme caution must be used to avoid electrical
shock from such facilities. Avoid contact with all such facilities.
Ethernet wiring must be at least 2 m from bare power wiring or lightning rods and
associated wires, and at least 15 cm from other wire (antenna wires, doorbell
wires, wires from transformers to neon signs), steam or hot water pipes, and
heating ducts.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
When operated according to manufacturer instructions, the product complies with all
applicable CE harmonised standards from EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and Part 15
of the FCC Rules. The connections conducting HF signals must not be damaged or
altered in any way by the user.

The ZXT-120 is a Z-Wave to IR extender for air-conditioning (AC) devices, (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. IR Extender also comes
with built-in temperature sensor which allows gateway or controller to get the
current room temperature.
ZXT-120 can be configured as either “Frequently Listening Routing Slaves” FLiRS (if
you are using battery) or “Always Listening” (if you are using 5V DC 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.
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.

GLOSSARY
DEVICE OR
NODE
Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave device. These are all
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.
REMOVE To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists
in the same Z-Wave network.
ZWAVE
NETWORK
A collection of Z-Wave devices is controlled by primary and secondary controllers
operating on the same system. A Z-Wave network has its own unique ID code so that
controllers not in the network cannot control the system.
PRIMARY
CONTROLLER
The first controller is used to set up your devices and network. Only the Primary
Controller can be used to include or delete 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
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
process in terms of time will be reduced significantly. NWI is a feature supported by
a new frame type named Explorer which enables the Z-Wave protocol to implement
Adaptive Source Routing.
FLIRS MODE
FLiRS is abbreviation for “Frequently Listening Routing Slave”. FLiRS mode is targeted
for battery operated applications and will enter sleep mode frequently in order to
conserve battery consumption. The response to Z-Wave command is not as quick as
Always Listening Device. Normally there is 1-2 seconds latency.
ALWAYS
LISTENING
MODE
Always Listening mode is targeted for AC power operated applications and it can act as
a repeater, which will re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal is received by
its intended destination by routing the signal around obstacle and radio dead spots. The
response to Z-Wave command is immediate.

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 ZXT-120 battery chassis.
• Mount the battery cover into the main unit with 2 screws.

OPERATIONS
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 ZXT-120 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.

LISTENING MODE CHANGE DEFAULT MODE IS FLIRS
Before inclusion, ZXT-120 can be configured as either “Frequently Listening Routing
Slave” (FLiRS) if you are using battery or “Always Listening” if you are using 5V DC
adaptor. Refer to Glossary for definition of “FLiRS” and “Always Listening” node.
Important:
It is not allowed to change ZXT-120’s listening mode without exclusion process (do not
change ZXT-120 listening mode while ZXT-120 is included in a network).
How to switch ZXT-120 listening mode from “Always Listening” to “FLiRS” (or
vice verse)
Step Setup Key LED Indication Status
on ZXT-120
1Press and hold the PROG button on the
ZXT-120 for around 5 seconds LED turns ON after PROG key hold for 5 seconds
2Release the button and then press the
PROG button 3 times within 2 seconds
