Z-Wave to IR Extender
SKU: REM_ZXT120
Quickstart
This is a
Single click on the large middle button (PROG) confirms inclusion and exclusion. Depending on power supply (battery or 5 V external) the device will we always active or run in a pseudo active mode (FLIRS) preserving battery power. To switch between FLIRS and Active mode press and hold the the PROG button for 4 seconds - the LED will stay off. Now release the PROG switch and press it 3 times within 2 seconds. The LED will either flash two times (indicates FLIRS) or four times (indicates active mode).
Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material. Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.Product Description
This device is a 100% interoperable Z-Wave to IR extender to control Air Conditions. It transmits IR control code with a wide range including the temperature and supports Z-Wave compliant Home Gateways and portable Controllers. It also has an integrated 5-direction IR emitter hemispherical coverage, a programmable power level (high or low) for external IR emitter to aviod saturation of IR receivers. The device is also with built?in temperature sensor which allows gateway or controller to get the current room temperature.
Installation
Mounting Locations
- Before mounting, check the material and structure of the mounting location. If the location does not have the proper material or structure, the ZXT-120 can fall and cause injuries.
- Use commercial items that best match the wall structure and material for the screws and other fixtures.
- Do not mount near a kitchen counter, humidifier, or other location in which it can be exposed to smoke or steam. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock.
- Do not mount in locations with high humidity or large amounts of dust. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock.
- Do not mount to locations subject to high temperatures, high humidity, or exposure to water. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock.
- Do not mount to locations subject to large amounts of vibration, large jolts, or large forces. These could cause an injury if the ZXT-120 falls and breaks.
Mounting Process
The ZXT-120 can be mounted to a wall or wooden racks using the two key holes in the bottom case.
- Obtain two screws suitable for the wall strength and material.
- The positional relationship between the ZXT-120 key holes and the screw mounting positions are shown in the figure below.
- Insert the ZXT-120 key holes onto the two screws mounted to the wall, and then slide downward to secure in place.
- After securing the ZXT-120 to the wall, connect the USB Power or batteries and IR emitter cable to the ZXT-120.
- When removing the ZXT-120 from the wall, lift up the ZXT-120, then pull it towards you.
- Detach the main unit from the battery chassis by move toward to top position.
Product Usage
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.
A complete list of all supported AC devices can be downloaded from the manufacturers homepage http://www.remotec.com.hk/zaspx/support.aspx
Infrared Code Learning
In case none of the code on the code list works for the targeted air conditioner, user can use IR code learning function using configuration according to below steps:
- Go to configuration setting page on the gateway and input parameter number (7) and parameter value (000) to select the dedicated AC code number (000) for learning. LED flashes once when ZXT-120 receives the configuration setting
- Set the configuration parameter #25 to the desired value you want to control (on off, cooling temperature, etc.) ZXT-120 is now ready to learn
- Bring the original air conditioner remote at ZXT-120 within 1-3 inches and execute the original control function. LED flashes twice if learning is successful. LED flashes 6 times if it"s failed.
- Press (power on) button on the original air conditioner remote. If the learning is failed, repeat the previous steps.
Reset of the Device
Press and hold (PROG) button for 10seconds on ZXT-120. The LED will flash twice until reset process is completed.
