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. ZXT-120 is also 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)
or “Always Listening” node after exclusion process (before inclusion process).
FLiRS node type is for battery operated applications and it will enter sleep mode
frequently in order to conserve battery consumption that can provide the flexibility if
there is out of 5Vdc power source. Also, user can place the unit in anywhere at home.

Always Listening node type is for the needs of fast response application. It works
with 5Vdc power source. Always Listening node 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.
ZXT-120 supports Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) and Explore Frames. It also
supports Z-Wave networks with multiple gateways and controllers. Like every
Z-Wave accessory, user will need to include the 4 ZXT-120 into their 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-120 using Z-Wave’s
configuration command class. Once the configuration and setup is complete, the
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 ZWave 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 anindividual Z-Wave device. These are
allinterchangeable when setting up your Z-Wavenetwork.
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 recommendedthat you mark the primary
controller for each network for ease in modifying your network.
SECONDARY
CONTROLLER
A controller containing network information about other devices within the network and is used
for controlling devices. Secondary controller is created from the Primary Controller and cannot
include or delete devices to the network.
INCLUSION
CONTROLLER
A controller containing network information about other devices within the network and is used for
controlling devices. Inclusion controller is created from the Primary Controller in a SIS enabled Z‐
Wave network. Inclusion Controllers have the ability to add and remove devices from the network.

Important Information
After all learning completed, user can go back to the ZXT-120 control page on the gateway for normal operation.
• On the gateway UI, user can only use the temperature range from the mapping table, OFF, ON(RESUME), COOL, HEAT, DRY, If
user press the button of FAN, or other function on the gateway UI which is not listed in above table, ZXT-120 will not respond.
• If user only learnt ON, OFF, or part of the settings according to the above table, ZXT-120 will send the learnt data to the
air conditioner only. For example, user only learnt ON, OFF, 22°C Cool, 24°C Heat, ZXT-120 will not send IR data to air conditioner if
user set 27°C Cool on the gateway.
• ZXT-120 has been pre-defined default cool at 26°C, default heat at 22°C, when user press Cool on gateway without setting
temperature, ZXT-120 will send the learnt data of 26°C Cool to air conditioner. When user press Heat on gateway without setting
temperature, ZXT-120 will send the learnt data of 22°C Heat to air conditioner.
• There is only one code for dry mode, user can set it at any preferred temperature.
• User can still use gateway to set up scene and schedule with ZXT-120, for example, to have AC turn on at 23°C every day at 7pm,
25°C at 11pm. Just make sure the set code is learnt.
• The learning mapping table is for split air conditioner which remote control is with LCD display. For window type air conditioner
(which remote control is without LCD display), the mapping table with temperatures do not apply, due to different type of IR control
protocol. However, user may still use the OFF, or ON/RESUME, DRY key for learning. (Because the POWER key on the original
remote without LCD display is toggle, user can choose either ON key, or OFF key to learn Power key, after learning is done, press
once to turn on the air conditioner if the air conditioner is OFF, press once to turn off if the air conditioner is ON)
