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.
