The ZXT-120 is a Z-Wave to air-conditioner (AC) IR Extender (Figure
1) and it works with any Z-Wave compliant gateway or portable
controller by translating Z-Wave’s Thermostat commands to AC IR
control code. User can set the IR code from the built-in code library of
ZXT-120 through the configuration commands, or use the learning
function of ZXT-120 through the UI on gateway. ZXT-120 also builtin a temperature sensor that allow to report your room temperature to
home gateway. It can be utilized to control or monitor your room
temperature by your smart phone or PC while you are at office, home
anywhere or around the world.
Figure 1 ZXT-120
ZXT-120 can be configured as either “Frequently Listening Routing
Slaves” (FLiRS) or “Always Listening” node after exclusion process.
FLiRS node type is targeted 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 targeted for the needs of required a fast
response application. The installed location should come 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
3
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’s “Thermostat commands
class” to control their IR-controlled air-conditioner with the ZXT-120.
Controller and Gateway Requirements
The ZXT-120 is architected to work with any Z-Wave compliant
controller or gateway supporting the following Z-Wave commands.
- Configuration Command Class
- Multilevel Sensor Command Class
- Sensor Configuration 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 enables the ZXT-120 to work with any ZWave compliant gateway and controller. Gateway and controller will
not need to have any knowledge related to IR control code. It also
eliminates the needs of complicated set up procedures and proprietary
Z-Wave commands to configure the system. The IR code library
supports various brand name air conditioners found in the today’s
market. User can use his controller or gateway to send a 3 digits AC IR
code number (include the brand selection) using standard Z-Wave
configuration command.

WIRELESS INFORMATION
Wireless range:
This device has an open-air line-of-sight transmission distance of 100
feet which complies with the Z-Wave standards. Performance can vary
depending on the amount of objects in between Z-Wave devices such
as walls and furniture. Every Z-Wave device set up in your network
will act as a signal repeater allowing devices to talk to each other and
find alternate routes in the case of a reception dead spot.
Radio frequency limitations:
1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can
reduce the maximum range of 65 feet by up to 25 to 30%.
2. Plasterboard and wooden walls block less of the radio signal then
concrete, brick or tile walls which will have more of an effect on
signal strength.
3. Wall mounted Z-Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range if
they are housed in metal junction boxes which could also reduce
the range by up to 25 to 30%.
MAINTENANCE
1 Do not expose your ZXT-120 to dust, strong sunlight, humidity,
high temperatures or mechanical shocks.
2 Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to
leak.
3 Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your ZXT-120.
4 Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
5 Do not disassemble your ZXT-120, it contains no user-serviceable
parts.

Q Can I use the USB port to configure ZXT-120?
A No, the mini USB port only provides an alternative option for user
to power the ZXT-120.
Q Do I need an electrician to install Z-Wave products in my
house?
A Installation can be simple. In some cases all you need to do is
mount the ZXT-120 to a wall or wooden racks. You also can place
the ZXT-120 on the desk and power it with dry cell batteries.
Q How to select my air-conditioner IR code from ZXT-120?
A You should refer to the code list and look into the brand and try
the code no. sequentially until you find the right code. You can
record down your device code under the table for future reference
after setting up the ZXT-120 correctly.
Q ZXT-120 is working on top and 4-directions IR output, but
there is no response on the IR emitter socket, why?
A ZXT-120 supports two IR power levels for the external IR emitter
to avoid saturation of the IR receiver. You can set the IR output
power level by the Parameter Table value (normal or high power
mode) or adjust the position of your external IR emitter.
Q Can I use 2 or more ZXT-120 in my house? What is the max.
units if yes?
A Yes and it is very depend on the capability of gateway / controller.
For example, gateway can supports up to 8, 16 or 32 ZXT-120 in a
network.
Q How to avoid the IR interference if I am using 2 identical air-
conditioners in same location but want to control them
individually?
A User can disable the Surround IR Output function, connect the
external IR emitter and aim it at the specific AC unit. The
operating distance of external IR emitter is around 100cm (High
power mode) and 50cm (Low power mode) but it is also depends
on the sensitivity of the IR receiver.
