REMOTEC Z-Wave to IR extender

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 (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.

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.
