ZiRC is a low cost Remote Control reference design based on the SD3502 for dual-mode, Z-Wave and
InfraRed (IR), control of Sigma Designs Internet Television (IPTV) Set Top Boxes (STB). User feedback is
through a tricolor LED (red, green, amber) located next to the power button. As a Z-Wave device it can
interwork with any other Z-Wave certified device from any vendor.
ZiRC can control the STB both in IR mode and in Z-Wave AV mode. The IR mode is using NEC format
with a target address of 0xCB04. On first power up, the ZiRC is in Z-Wave AV (Audio Video) mode. While
the IR mode can be used immediately, the ZiRC mode requires the remote to be included into the STB’s
Home Area Network first.
From time to time, this manual may refer to STB operations that are not covered in this document, but
rather in the STB’s manual.

2.1 Z-Wave Network Overview
Z-Wave® is an interoperable, lightweight wireless technology that empowers both consumers and
manufacturers with an ecosystem of products that work together.
This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices
from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All constantly powered nodes within the network
will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.
2.2 Initial Inclusion
To start using a newly acquired ZiRC, set the STB into inclusion mode. Insert 2 AAA batteries as
indicated in the battery compartment of the ZiRC.
Any button press on the ZiRC will start learn mode. While in learn mode, the LED will blink amber every
3 seconds. After a few seconds, the LED should blink green 3 times on success or red on failure. Any
button press would exit the inclusion mode with failure.
After successful inclusion, the ZiRC waits 10 seconds for any association to be set up during which time
the LED should blink amber every 3 seconds. If any association was successfully set up during this time,
it will blink green thrice. Otherwise any button press or timeout would exit the association mode with
the LED blinking red thrice.
After this process the ZiRC goes to sleep and is now ready to control the STB. After any successful
exclusion or reset operation, any button press will enter inclusion mode.
2.3 Audio Video control
To switch the ZiRC between Z-Wave AV and IR mode, press & hold SETUP+RED for 1 second. The ZiRC
remembers the mode it is in even when its batteries are replaced.
On entering IR mode, the LED will blink amber once. All button presses are acknowledged by a single
amber blink, as there is no feedback from the STB for IR. Note that while in IR mode, only the switch
mode combo will work and all other combos are ignored.
On entering Z-Wave AV mode, the LED will blink green once. In this mode, successful AV commands
sent to the STB are indicated by a single green LED blink. While the button is kept depressed, keep alive
is sent every 200 milliseconds and the LED will continue to blink green accordingly.
Pressing SETUP+PLAY or SETUP+STOP will send a Basic ON or OFF respectively to turn on and off any ZWave equipment that is not AV capable.
In Z-Wave AV mode the buttons are mapped as in the table below.
When battery is low, any key press will be immediately followed by 3 red LED blinks. This is an
indication to replace batteries. This replaces the normal LED indications described in this document.
2.5 Subsequent Inclusion/Exclusion
Set the STB to add or remove the remote control as required. Press & hold SETUP+HOME for 5 seconds.
The LED should blink green once to signal it has entered learn mode, at which point the use may release
the buttons. The LED should blink 3 times green on success or red on failure.
2.6 Reset
Press & hold SETUP+RETURN for 10 seconds. The LED should blink green once on success. This will
restore ZIRC to factory default setting.
2.7 Enable Over-The-Air firmware upgrade
Press & hold SETUP+ENTER for 5 seconds. The LED will start to blink amber and the firmware upgrade
can start. If the firmware is transferred successfully the LED will blink GREEN 3 times. If the firmware
upgrade fails the LED will blink RED 3 times and a retry must be done.
Some devices set up automatic associations on receiving a Z-Wave Node Information Frame (NIF) from
the target device. For this purpose, pressing & holding SETUP+INFO for 3 seconds will cause the LED to
blink green once and send out the NIF once. This feature is also a requirement for Z-Wave certification.
2.9 Wake up
To conserve power, the ZiRC remains asleep until a key is pressed after which it goes back to sleep after
3 seconds.
To enable the ZiRC to stay awake for an extended period of time and to notify that it has woken up so as
to carry out any configuration, press & hold SETUP+YELLOW for 5s. The LED should blink green once to
signal it has woken up and notified the STB, at which point the user may release the buttons. The
remote stays awake for 10 seconds only during which time the LED will blink amber every 3 seconds.
2.10 Update Associations
From time to time, the STB may create associations with other STBs to allow simultaneous control from
one remote control. Wake the remote up as described in 2.7. Note that wake up time is extended only
by association commands received from the STB. So quickly set the STB to update the associations. The
LED should blink green thrice on successful association. The process is terminated by any button press
or timeout with the LED blinking red thrice.
If no associations are set up, the ZiRC will control the controller that added it to the network. Otherwise
it will target all the nodes in the group.
2.11 Test mode
This is not a normal user function but rather an advanced function used for testing. When the remote is
in test mode the green led will keep flashing every second. The remote exits test mode after 60
seconds.
