WS 10
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Congratulations on purchasing the Royal WS 10 Thermosolutions Thermometer.
This model features Indoor Temperature and Outside Temperature. Outside
Temperature is provided with the 434 MHz cable free temperature sensor. No
wire installation is required. For additional convenience, a magnetic backing has
been used for placement on kitchen refrigerators.
Please read all the instructions to ensure understanding of the features.
The WS 10 uses a liquid crystal display. On occasion the display has an
appearance of being damaged. This is especially true when first receiving
the unit or when moving the unit. It is recommended leaving the unit on a
flat table for 10 minutes. The liquid in the display will fill all the voided
areas.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
For best operation:
* Insert the remote unit batteries before inserting the batteries into the main
unit.
* Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit. This will
ensure easier synchronization between the transmission and reception of the
signals.
* Position the remote unit and main unit within the effective transmission range,
which, in usual circumstances, is 75 to 100 feet.
WARNING: When attaching the WS 10 to a metal object such as a refrigerator the
transmission distance from the remote is reduced to 50 feet.
NOTE: Building materials and where the main and remote units are positioned
vastly affect the transmission range. Try various locations for best results.

INSTALLATION OF THE BATTERY IN THE REMOTE UNIT
The remote unit uses AA x 2 batteries. To install or replace the batteries, please
follow these steps:
Fig.3
* Unscrew the screw on the back of the compartment and remove the cover.
* Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity.
* Replace the battery cover on unit and seal by re-screwing tightly.
It is recommended replacing the batteries in both units on an annual basis to
ensure optimum accuracy. If the low battery indicater illuminates on the base unit,
while the outside temperature is displayed, it is time to replace the batteries in the
remote.
NOTE:
After changing the batteries in the Transmitter or Base unit, both units must be
completely reset as per the Setting Up instructions.
INSTALLATION OF THE BATTERIES IN THE MAIN UNIT
The WS 10 uses two "AA" batteries. Should the LCD become dimmer or the low
battery indicater illuminates , then the batteries in this unit should be changed.
To install or replace the batteries, please follow these steps:
Fig.4
* Slide the battery door cover off in the direction of the arrow.
* Insert 2 AA batteries, following the polarity shown inside the battery
compartment.
* Replace battery cover.

SETTING UP
1. Once the batteries have been placed in the Remote unit, they will start transmitting
temperature readings in 30 seconds. By depressing the side Test button on the
Remote unit (Fig. 2A), the signal to the base unit will immediately update the outside
temperature. The LED on the remote unit will illuminate after depressing the Test
button. This indicates the signal is being sent. The Remote will sense the temperature
change every 30 seconds. When there is a +/– 0.3F change, it will update the base.
If there is no more than +/– 0.3F change, it will update the base unit per 5 minutes.
2. If the Base Unit doesn't receive a signal, the outside temperature will continue to
blink.
3. It is recommended testing the units side by side prior to installing the units. Once
the units synchronize, install the units as per the INSTALLATION SECTION of this
manual.
TO SET CENTIGRADE (C) or FAHRENHEIT (F) for the Base Unit
This model has two types of temperatures on the base unit; Centigrade and Fahrenheit.
To set the correct type, press and hold the Toggle Button in. Continue to depress the
Toggle button until the temperature changes.
NOTE: The remote unit is preset at Fahrenheit only.
TO VIEW THE DIFFERENT REMOTE TEMPERATURES
In outdoor temperature mode, press the “Channel” button on the back of the unit to
access the other remote units.
434 MHz RECEPTION
The Royal Thermosolutions WS 10 will receive outside temperature readings utilizing
wireless 434MHz transmission. Please see the following guidelines when selecting a
location for the installation of your Royal WS 10 and Wireless Remote. A magnetic
strip has been added for installation on the kitchen refrigerator.
1. The maximum transmission range is 80-100 feet from the Remote to the WS10 (in
open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference
levels.
2. The distance of the WS 10 or Remote should be at least 6 feet away from any
interfering sources.
3. Avoid positioning the WS10 or Remote onto or in the immediate proximity of metal
window frames.
4. Neighbors using other electrical devices operating on the 434 MHz signal could
cause interference.
5. Extreme temperatures may affect the Wireless Remote Range. If it has been extremely
cold (under -13 F) for an extended period of time, then the transmission power from
the remote will not be sufficient due to the nature of Alkaline batteries. Please bring
in the remote unit when temperatures fall below -13F to protect the batteries from
freezing.
INSTALLATION - REMOTE UNIT
Royal provides both screws and double-sided tape. On smooth surfaces this can be
used for mounting instead of drilling holes. The surface can, however, affect
the transmission range. If, for example, the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may
either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason we
recommend not placing the unit on any metal surface or in any position where a
large metal surface is in the immediate proximity. Before securing in place
please insure that the Temperature Base Unit can receive the signal from the
Remote unit from where you wish to situate them both.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
* Press and release the Toggle Button
* The OUT indicator and Antenna Icon will illuminate
* If the Antenna Icon does not illuminate or if dashes "-" appear, the WS 10 has
not received an update within the last hour from the remote unit. First press
the Toggle Button twice to update the Outdoor Temperature. Next check the
remote batteries and refer to the Setting Up and 434 MHz sections of this
manual.
INDOOR TEMPERATURE
* Press and release the Toggle Button.
SETTING UP ADDITIONAL REMOTES
By simply placing batteries in the additional remotes, the system will assign the
additional remotes a number from 2 - 3. To check the temperature on these
remotes depress the channel button on the back of the base unit.
