Features
The Card Access Z2iR ZigBee-to-IR Module is a wireless ZigBee interface
with two independent IR emitter ports. It is powered from any 5V USB
2.0-compliant port supplying continuous power (even when the device with
the USB port is turned off). The Module can connect any IR device into a
Control4 home automation environment. The Z2iR Module also operates as
a ZigBee® (IEEE 802.15.4) parent-rounting node which can improve ZigBee
mesh density and footprint-often solving ZigBee problems when devices are
installed on the edges of a mesh network.

Installation
1 Place the ZigBee-to-IR Module in a location which ensures:
 Easy access to a power outlet
 Close proximity to the device(s) to be controlled
NOTE: Make sure the ZigBee-to-IR Module gets good ZigBee
wireless reception by:
 Ensuring it is within 150 feet of another ZigBee device.
 Ensuring the device is not installed by other electrical equipment
that may cause interference with the ZigBee signal (such as some
cordless telephones or other devices that operate on the 2.4 GHz
frequency).
 Avoiding exposure to extreme environmental conditions.
2 Download the Z2iR DriverWorks Driver using Composer’s
Online Driver Database or from the Card Access web site: www.
cardaccess-inc.com/automation/drivers. (Copy the Driver to the
“Control4 / Drivers” folder on your PC. The Control4 / Drivers folder
should be located under “My Documents” on your PC.)
3 Launch Composer. If Composer is already running, shut it down
and restart it.
4 Using Composer, make a connection to Director. Select the System
Design Tab to add the Z2iR Driver. The Driver can be found by
selecting the Search Tab and then the Local Database. The device
type is “other” and the manufacturer is Card Access. NOTE: The
Driver can be added to any room in the project.
5 Power up the Z2iR Module using the supplied USB Power Supply
and Mini USB cable. In Composer, choose Connections and click

Troubleshooting
If the Z2iR Module is not working it may need to be reset back to factory
settings. To perform a factory reset, do the following:
 While the Z2iR Module is still powered on, press the button on the
top cover 13 times.
 After the Z2iR Module has performed its reboot sequence, the LED
