Z-ExtenderTM ZW2IR (Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender) Operating Instructions Introduction The ZW2IR is a Z‐Wave to IR extender for air‐conditioner (AC), (Figure 1), it works with any Z‐Wave compliant gateway or controller by translating Z‐Wave Thermostat Commands to AC IR control code. User can select the IR code from the built‐in code library of ZW2‐IR, or use learning function, by using Z‐Wave Configuration Commands according to the parameter table.
ZW2‐IR into their Z‐Wave network using the primary controller. Then, the user can use either the primary controller or secondary controller to configure and setup the ZW2‐IR using Z‐Wave’s configuration command class. Once the configuration and setup is complete, the controller can use Z‐Wave “Thermostat commands class” to control their IR‐controlled air‐conditioner through the ZW2‐IR.
Glossary Device or Node Inclusion Exclusion Remove Z‐Wave Network Primary Controller Secondary Controller Inclusion Controller Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z‐Wave device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z‐Wave network. Add a Z‐Wave device to the network. Delete a Z‐Wave device from the network. To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z‐Wave network.
ZW2‐IR Operations Before using the ZW2‐IR, please read the [INSTALLATION] if you need to mount the ZW2‐IR to a wall. Power up the ZW2‐IR by the USB Power 5Vdc or Dry battery AAA x 3pcs. • • • • • • • • Plug‐in 5Vdc power into the USB socket if operated at Always Listening mode. Or Install 3xAAA batteries if operated at FLiRS mode. Please refer to the section of [MOUNTING PROCEDURE]. Remove the battery cover on the back of your ZW2‐IR battery chassis.

Z‐Wave Remote Control 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Select your operation mode; please refer to “Listening Mode” section. Include or Exclude the unit from the existing Z‐Wave home control network with your primary controller. ‐ Refer to your primary controller instructions to process the inclusion / exclusion setup procedure. ‐ When prompted by your primary controller, click once on the PROG button. ‐ The primary controller should indicate that the action was successful.
ZW2‐IR Information How to get the NIF “Node Information Frame” on ZW2‐IR Step Setup Key Press the PROG button on the ZW2‐IR 1 (Inclusion) LED Indication Status on ZW2‐IR • LED flashes once then stay off (ZW2‐IR will report the supported command class) Parameter No.

Listening Mode Change (default mode is FLiRS) ZW2‐IR 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. Always Listening node type is targeted for the needs of required a fast response application.
‐ 1 After included ZW2‐IR to Z‐Wave controller or Gateway, go to device setup for configuration on gateway or controller. ‐ 2 Input parameter number “27” and parameter value (please look up the code list of ZW2IR according to your AC brand). Then complete the configuration process. 3 Press the PROG button on the ZW2‐ IR.
IR 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: LED Indication Status on ZW2‐IR Step Setup Key 1 Go to configuration setting page on the gateway or ZRC‐100 and input parameter number “27” and parameter value “000” to select the dedicated AC code number “000” for learning.
Press “power on” button on the original air conditioner remote. If the learning is failed, repeat step 3 to step 5. To learn next IR code, repeat step 2 to step 5. L When you encounter problem, check followings: − Make sure your original remote is switched to power off. − Press the key on original remote before learning mode timeout. − Keep away from incandescent light and direct sunlight during learning.

L Important Information After all learning completed, user can go back to the ZW2‐IR 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, If user press the button of FAN, or other function on the gateway UI which is not listed in above table, ZW2‐IR will not respond.
INSTALLATION MOUNTING THE ZW2‐IR TO A WALL MOUNTING LOCATION PRECAUTIONS • Before mounting, check the material and structure of the mounting location. If the location does not have the proper material or structure, the ZW2‐IR 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.
Note 2: Before mounting to a wall, be sure to fully read the precautions. 1. Obtain two screws suitable for the wall strength and material. The screw size is shown in the figure below. 2. The positional relationship between the ZW2‐IR key holes and the screw mounting positions are shown in the figure below. Note 1: When mounting the screws to the wall, leave a space between the wall and screw cap as shown in the figure. 3.
Note 1: Check that the ZW2IR is firmly secured to the wall. Note 2: Insert USB plug or batteries and IR emitter cable so that they are firmly connected to the ZW2IR. 5. When removing the ZW2‐IR from the wall, lift up the ZW2‐IR, then pull it towards you. 6. Detach the main unit from the battery chassis by move toward to top position.
WIRELESS INFORMATION Wireless range: This device has an open‐air line‐of‐sight transmission distance of 100 feet which complies with the Z‐Wave standards. Performance can vary depending on the amount of objects in between Z‐Wave devices such as walls and furniture. Every Z‐Wave device set up in your network will act as a signal repeater allowing devices to talk to each other and find alternate routes in the case of a reception dead spot. Radio frequency limitations: 1. Each wall or object (i.e.
Q Can I use the USB port to configure ZW2‐IR? A No, the mini USB port only provides an alternative option for user to power the ZW2‐IR. Q A Do I need an electrician to install Z‐Wave products in my house? Installation can be simple. In some cases all you need to do is mount the ZW2‐IR to a wall or wooden racks. You also can place the ZW2‐IR on the desk and power it with dry cell batteries.
Q A Where can I keep up to date with the latest Z‐Wave products for my house? You can keep up to date by visiting the www.wintop.com website where we will have information and ideas for using Z‐ Wave technology. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Model no.
