Revision 2 RMA803 Remote Indicator User's Guide 1
Introduction
1.1 About the RMA801 Remote Indicator
The RMA801 Remote Indicator provides a means of remote-mounting a meter (display) that is
associated with a Honeywell Smartline Transmitter or any transmitter operating in a 4-20 mA current
loop.
The RMA801 is a DE/Analog Remote Indicator which can be connected anywhere along the current
loop, providing easy access to data from devices that are mounted in inaccessible locations.
For analog PV, the RMA801 measures the loop current and displays the equivalent PV value on the
display.
The RMA801 will autoconfigure when connected to Honeywell STT700/STT250 DE transmitters when
a database upload is performed.
The RMA801 - Remote Indicator can be used in hazardous environments or in ordinary
environments. When used in hazardous environments, the remote housing must be configured as per
local installation codes.
The display module fitting allows for rotation in 90 degree increments, allowing the RMA801 to be
mounted in various orientations.

1.5 RMA801 Remote Indicator Nameplate
The Remote Indicator nameplate mounted on the bottom of the electronics housing (see Figure 1,
“approvals” nameplate) lists model number, physical configuration, electronics options, accessories,
certifications, and manufacturing specialties.
Figure 4 –Typical RMA801 Nameplate
Identification of the series and basic Remote Indicator type is captured in the last digit in the key
number. The last digit represents itype.
•A value of 1 in the last digit means the Remote Indicator type is RMA801 DE/Analog
For a complete selection breakdown of model number, refer to the appropriate specification and Model
Selection Guide provided as separate documents.
1.6 Safety Certification Information
An “approvals” nameplate is located on the bottom of the electronics housing; see Figure 1 for the exact
location. The approvals nameplate contains information and service marks that disclose the Remote
Indicator compliance information. Refer to Appendix A of this document for safety certification
requirements and details.

Installation and Startup
2.1 Installation Site Evaluation
Evaluate the site selected for the Remote Indicator installation with respect to the process system design
specifications and Honeywell’s published performance characteristics for your particular model. Some
parameters that you may want to include in your site evaluation are:
•Environmental Conditions:
oAmbient Temperature
oRelative Humidity
•Potential Noise Sources:
oRadio Frequency Interference (RFI)
oElectromagnetic Interference (EMI)
•Vibration Sources
oMotorized System Devices (e.g., pumps)
oValve Cavitation
•Process Parameters
oTemperature
oMaximum Pressure Rating
2.2 Display Installation Precautions
Temperature extremes can affect display quality. The display can go blank if the temperature is below -
20°C or above +70°C; however, this is only a temporary condition. The display will again be readable
when temperatures return to within operable limits.

7 RMA803 Remote Indicator User's Guide Revision 2
2.3 Mounting Remote Indicator
Remote Indicator models can be attached to a two-inch (50.8 millimeter) vertical or horizontal pipe
using Honeywell’s optional pipe mounting bracket. The Remote Indicator can also be wall mounted
using Honeywell’s optional wall mounint bracket as shown in Figure 5.
2.3.1 Mounting Dimensions
Refer to Honeywell drawing number 51455045
*
