Introduction
The ZXT-120 is a Z-Wave to air-conditioner (AC) IR Extender (Figure

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

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
