The Ferrari Collection from Oregon Scientific reflects the glamour, excitement, and tradition of Formula One motor racing. The instruments in the Ferrari Collection's Speedometer Line are named after some of Ferrari's best-known road cars. These instruments feature round, dashboard-like displays trimmed in chrome to evoke the ambience of the classic sports and GT cars that have made Ferrari an automotive legend.

One of these instruments is the Oregon Scientific FSW301A-K Modena Wireless Weather Station. This version of the Modena has a silver case with a black top and front and a silver base. The case front has the checkered appearance of carbon fiber, a major component in today's racecar construction. The displays have red-and-black "dials" that mimic a tachometer and speedometer. On the top of the case are 8 chrome buttons that control most of this station's functions.

• Stores maximum and minimum temperatures and humidity--both indoor and for all remotes in use--until reset. These can be displayed at the push of a button.
• Provides trend indications (rising, steady, or falling) for temperature and humidity.
• Provides accurate weather forecasts (with four different graphical icons) based on air pressure changes.
• Indicates the predicted road conditions (dry, slick, or very wet) by any of three racing tire icons.
• Features an incredibly accurate radio-controlled ("atomic") clock with a calendar and a single daily alarm with 8-minute snooze function.

Another special feature of the Modena weather station is its choice of alarm sounds for the station's single daily alarm. You can select either a conventional 2-minute crescendo alarm (a series of increasingly loud beeps) or a racing mode alarm. This is the sound of an actual Ferrari F1 racecar accelerating through the gears and then backing off, and it repeats several times. Like the crescendo alarm, it ceases after about 2 minutes if you don't press the Alarm or Snooze/Light button to stop it.

One THGR238NF wireless remote thermo-hygro sensor is included, and the station can actually monitor up to three of these sensors. This particular remote is black in color to complement the main unit, and it has its own LCD display that shows the temperature and humidity locally. Additional sensors can be obtained separately.

This station features a bright, pushbutton-activated HiGlo^TM electro-luminescent backlight with auto-off. The backlight comes on when you push the Snooze/Light button on the top of the main unit and also when the alarm sounds.

The main unit is designed to rest on a shelf, desk, table, or other flat surface. It cannot be wall-mounted. The remote sensor has its own wall-mounting bracket, or you can install the included wire stand and place the remote on a flat surface.

The FSW301A-K main unit uses three AA alkaline batteries, and the THGR238NF remote sensor uses two AA alkaline batteries. All batteries are included. Be sure to install the batteries in the remote before installing them in the main unit. This will ensure that the remote registers properly with the main unit. If you want to use the remote in sub-freezing conditions, we recommend that you replace its AA alkaline batteries with lithium batteries. Lithium cells retain their power down to about -40°F (-40°C).

While the carbon fiber black front panel of this version of the Modena captures the spirit of Ferrari's current F1 racecar technology, the station's round instrument-like displays have the classic look that has graced Ferrari road car dashboards for decades. The Modena weather station is also available with a Ferrari red case and a silver-colored front and top. If you'd prefer that version, please check out the FSW301A-R Modena on this website.

• It's wireless! Easy setup with no cables to string--remote sensors send temperature and humidity data back to the main unit (base station) via 433MHz radio waves.
• Know the temperature and relative humidity both indoors and at up to three remote locations--outdoors or in your greenhouse, baby's room, warehouse, wine cellar or other location--from the comfort of your home or office.
• At a glance, check the current barometric pressure, the temperature and relative humidity trends, and the weather forecast.
• Four weather forecast icons indicate Sunny (clear at night), Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, or Rainy (snowy in sub-freezing temperatures).
• Associated with the forecast icons are three road-condition icons that indicate Dry, Slick, or Very Wet.
• Weather forecast is for 12 to 24 hours in the future. The forecast covers an 18- to 30-mile (30- to 50-km) radius and is 70 to 75 percent accurate.
• Three trend icons each for temperature and humidity indicate Rising, Steady, or Falling.
• Main unit can be optioned to show temperatures in °C or °F and barometric pressure in mb/hPa or inHg.
• Remote can be optioned to show temperatures in °C or °F.
• Both main unit and remote show relative humidity in percent.
• Integral memory in main unit stores maximum and minimum temperature and humidity readings (indoor and from remotes) for instant pushbutton display.
• User-settable altitude compensation for barometer to obtain correct sea-level pressure reading at altitudes from -328 to +8203 feet (-100 to +2500 meters). See the note below for additional information.

Note: With this station, you need to enter your altitude in meters for the altitude compensation. This is done in increments of 10 meters, which equates to 33 feet in English units.

• Comes complete with one THGR238NF thermo-hygro sensor--add one or two additional sensors (optional; not included) to monitor up to three remote locations, indoors or out.
• Integral radio-controlled clock with calendar and alarm automatically synchronizes itself to the U.S. atomic clock in Colorado and also automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time.
• An RF (radio frequency) tower-and-wave icon indicates that the clock is receiving the synchronizing radio signals for time and date.
• RF reception can be disabled for manual setting if desired (for example, if station is taken out of range of the time-synchronization signal).
• Clock/calendar display has 3 display modes:
  • Time as hour, minute, seconds.
  • Time as hour and minute with weekday abbreviation in place of seconds.
  • Month and date (year is displayed only during manual setting of clock and calendar).
• Clock can be optioned to display time in 12-hour or 24-hour format.
• Weekday abbreviation is user-selectable for any of five languages: English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish.
• Calendar can be optioned to display month-date or date-month.
• U.S. time zone ( Pacific, Mountain, Central, or Eastern) is shown as an abbreviation that is only displayed during setup.
• Daily 2-minute crescendo alarm or racing mode alarm has an available 8-minute snooze function.
• Maximum transmission range for remote sensors is 100 feet (30 meters).
• Main unit provides low-battery indications both for itself and for remote sensor .
• Main unit has an integral rotating stand so that it can be placed on a desk, shelf or table or mounted on a wall in home or office.
• Remote sensor can also be free-standing (with included wire stand installed) or wall-mounted via an included bracket.
