Verifying Communication with the Weather Station 

A red LED is located on the back of the CC-3000. This LED will flash when 
the  interface  is  receiving  data  from  a  weather  station.  It  will  blink  every  two 
seconds.  As  418/433  MHz  systems  only  broadcast  every  thirty  seconds,  the 
LED will provide one long blink upon reception of the data packet. It will then 
continue to blink every two seconds for the next 28 seconds. 
 
On  power  up,  the  LED  will  blink  once  even  if  no  weather  station  is  present. 
This indicates that the interface has booted up. 

Using the CC-3000 with Third Party Software 

The CC-3000 is supported by several third party software applications. Please 
refer to the desired software’s instruction manual for further  details.  

Station Coding 

MKIII-LR weather stations can be coded to prevent interference from another 
MK-III weather station that is located in radio range. A dipswitch in the sensor 
assembly  selects  a  station  number  from  0  to  3.  The  default  is  0.  Should  it  be  
necessary to change the code, follow the sensor assembly instructions to set a 
different  station  number.  The  CC-3000  can  then  be  configured  with  the 
“STATION”  command.  Refer  to  the  instruction  set  for  details.  The  default 
setting for the CC-3000 is also zero so this setting is not normally required. 
 
The LED will not flash if the station code and station number do not match. 

Indoor temperature 

The  CC-3000  includes  a  built  in  temperature  sensor.  The  sensor  is  mounted 
internally. Do not place the CC-3000 near any heat sources such as computer 
towers  or  routers.  These  devices  will  cause  inaccurate  temperature  readings. 
The sensor may take several hours to stabilize. 

Allow the unit to run powered 

for 3 to 4 hours before adjusting the temperature offset.
