A security Enabled Z-Wave Plus Controller must be used in order to fully utilize the product.ZXT-600 is a Z-Wave slave device, it depends on gateway to setup particular AC brand with correct IR code. Dierent gateway has dif-ferent user interface for setup. Product OverviewKey DescriptionsMicro USBPhone JackSwitch LED IndicatorTemperature Sensor
3Features Z-Wave Glossary• Working as a Z-Wave thermostat • Support classic inclusion and NWI• Built-in air conditioner IR codes, as well as cloud-based IR code library • IR learning back up • Built-in temperature sensor for room temperature report• Working on battery (2x AA batteries) and/or USB power Device or Node Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave network.Inclusion Add a Z-Wave device to the network.Exclusion Remove a Z-Wave device from the network.Remove To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z-Wave network.Network Wide Inclusion (NWI)Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) enables both end-user friendly, Plug and Play like Z-Wave network installation as well as professional installation scenario where the inclusion process, in terms of time will be reduced significantly. NWI is a feature supported by a new frame type named Explorer which enables the Z-Wave protocol to implement Adaptive Source Routing.
4Z-Wave Network A collection of Z-Wave devices is controlled by primary and secondary controllers operating on the same system. A Z-Wave network has its own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot control the system.Primary Controller The rst controller is used to set up your devices and network. Only the Primary Controller can be used to include or remove devices from a network. It is recommended that you mark the primary controller for each network for ease in modifying your network.FLiRS Mode FLiRS is abbreviation for "Frequently Listening Routing Slave".FLiRS mode is targeted for battery operated applications and will enter sleep mode frequently in order to conserve battery consumption. The response to Z-Wave command is not as quick as Always Listening Device. Normally there is 1-2 seconds latency.Always Listening ModeAlways Listening Mode is targeted for AC power operated applications and it 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. The response to Z-Wave command is immediate.Association Association is used to organize nodes in different groups allowing the device to identify the nodes by a group identier. The groups can also be copied to other devices.
5Get Started• Open the box• ZXT-600 AC Master x 1pcStep 1 Apply Power to ZXT-600• 2x AA batteries or micro USB • ZXT-600 will detect the rst applied power source to decide what Z-Wave device role it will be in after included into the Z-Wave gateway: battery= sleeping device (FLiRS mode). USB power = always awake device (Always Listening mode), refer to Z-Wave Glossary for more information. • Once the ZXT-600 is included into a Z-Wave network, the working mode (sleeping or awake) cannot be changed, unless it is exclud-ed and re-apply the power. • ZXT600 can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of Vendor to increase reliability of the network.Step 2 Include ZXT-600 to a Z-Wave GatewayStep Procedure / Description Status Indicator1Refer to your primary controller to enter into the Inclusion Mode or Exclusion Mode2When it is prompted to enter it, please triple click the “PROG” button within 1 second.Green Indicator ashes TWICE then stay o
6Notes:1. It is recommended to perform the Remove (Exclude) procedure before per-forming an Add (Include) procedure. 2. Red Indicator ashes TWICE then stay off to represent the Add / Remove pro-cess failed, please repeat the above step again.3. If the Add (Include) process fails, try Remove (Exclude) and /or resetting the AC Master to Factory Default and repeat the above step.Step 3 Setup Automatic Status Report Association to GatewayStep 4 Setup Air Conditioner IR code• The UI of set up the IR code varies from dierent gateways. If gate-ways have dedicated UI for the IR code setup please refer to the gateway UI and ignore the below steps. • If your gateway does not have dedicated UI for ZXT-600 IR code setup, but support Z-Wave thermostat Command Class and Con-guration Command Class. You may refer to below steps to setup the IR code using the conguration options in your gateway ZXT-600 supports 1 association groupAssociation Group #1Association Group #1 (max. 1 node) is default to associate with the primary controller (Gateway/Hub/Controller) for AC Master Status change report, refer to below for report details:• Current Room Temperature (report in precision of 0.5°C or 1°F) (It will be according to Conguration Parameter 39 setting to decide the trigger level)• Current Battery Level (Only apply in Low Battery Warning hap-pened)• Device Reset Locally Notication (Only report when the AC Master has been triggered the RESET TO DEFAULT)
7Step Procedure / Description Status Indicator1Refer to your primary controller user manual, enter to the browser page that can input the Conguration parameter.2Input parameter number “27” and parameter value (Go to our Website to search the corresponding Code Number). Then complete the Conguration process.Green Indicator will turn on. If fail, Red Indi-cator will ash TWICE.3Go back to the control page of AC Master on the gateway’s Browser and try the function such as (Cool, Temperature Set).If the Air Conditioner does not respond to the command you set on the Gateway (Cool, Heat, Auto, Temperature Set, etc….), repeat Step 2 and 3 to Select the next IR Code on the search list.Green Indicator ashes ONCE every time if receives a command from GatewayImportant Information• Dierent brand or model of air conditioner has dierent function. For example, some air conditioner only support temperature set from 18°C - 30°C, if user set 17°C on gateway, AC Master will not respond.• There are more than 1 code for each brand, some does not support Heat, if User selected a code that does not support Heat but Original air conditioner supports Heat Function, please continue to try next code until the correct one is selected.• You can record down your Device Code for future reference after setting up the AC Master correctly.AC Device programmed to your AC MasterCode Number :

12Important InformationAfter all learning completed, User can go back to the ZXT-600 control page on the gateway for normal operation.• On the Gateway UI, User can only use the Temperature range from the mapping table, OFF, ON(RESUME), COOL, HEAT, DRY MODE, AUTO MODE and FAN MODE.• If User only learnt ON(RESUME), OFF, or part of the settings according to the above table, ZXT-600 will send the learnt data to the Air Conditioner only. For example, User only learnt ON(RESUME), OFF, 22°C COOL, 24°C HEAT, ZXT-600 will not send the IR Data to Air Conditioner if User set 27°C Cool on the gateway.• User can still use gateway to set up Scene and Schedule with ZXT-600. For example, to have AC turn on at 23°C every day at 7am, 25°C at 11pm. Just make sure the set code is learnt.• The learning mapping table is for split Air Conditioner, which Remote Control is with LCD Display. For Window type Air Conditioner (which Remote Control is without LCD Display), the mapping table with temperatures do not apply, due to dierent type of IR Control Protocol. However, User may still use OFF, ON(RESUME), DRY, AUTO or FAN Key for Learning. • (Because the POWER key on the Original Remote (without LCD Display) is toggle, user can choose either ON key or OFF key to learn Power key. After Learning is done, press once to turn on the Air Conditioner if the Air Conditioner is OFF, press once to turn OFF if the Air Conditioner is ON)
