Z-Extender ZXT-120 

(Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender)

Introduction

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.
