Features and Options
The RMA801 Remote Indicator provides a means of remote-mounting a indicator
(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.
For analog PV, the RMA801 measures the loop current and displays the equivalent
PV value on the display.
The RMA801 will auto configure when connected to Honeywell DE transmitters
except SMV800/3000when a database upload is performed.
This document provides the information for a quick setup. For detailed information,
please refer RMA801 user manual, 34-ST-25-62.

CAUTION
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.
The device shall be operated by a trained professional. It is the user/installer’s
responsibility to install the indicator in accordance with national and local code
requirements. Conduit entry plugs and adapters shall be suitable for the
environment, shall be certified for the hazardous location when required and
acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction for the plant
The RMA device is always connected in series with the transmitter. The current
loop will be broken if the RMA801 device is removed from the loop.
Installation and setup
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 can be found in the RMA801 user
manual,

Wiring a Remote Indicator
Overview
The Remote Indicator is designed to operate in normal 4-20mA analog mode with
HART enabled transmitters across Smartline Devices and DE transmitters except
SMV800/3000.
For improved noise performance, it is recommended to provide earth ground for
both transmitter and RMA housing.
Figure 6: DE/ANALOG Terminal Block
Figure 7: RMA801 Terminal Block
Terminal Block
The RMA801 has 3 terminals. Following table provides the connection details-
Three screw terminals suitable for wirings up to (16AWG)
•Shielded, twisted-pair cable such as Belden 9318 or equivalent must be
used for all signal/power wiring.
•The cable shield must be connected at only one end of the cable.
Connect it to the power supply side and leave the shield insulated at
the transmitter side and RMA side.
Note: If solid core wire is used strip insulation 1/4 in (6 mm). Once inserted
under the square washer the stripped portion should be contained under the
square washer. If multi-stranded wire is used, a ferrule is to be used and the
stripped wire should be in the insulated portion of the ferrule. The ferrule can be
also be used on the solid core wire.
Loop Terminals 5 & 6 shall be connected in series with the 4-20 ma loop for both
analog and DE modes. Additionally, third wire (Terminal 9) is required for DE
communication in DE mode only.
Loop wiring for analog and DE mode is shown in figure below.
NOTE: After wiring the Transmitter as outline in the next sections, torque
the screws to 1.1 Nm (10 lb-in)

A.3 Conditions of Use” for Ex Equipment”, Hazardous Location
Equipment or “Schedule of Limitations”:
a. Consult the manufacturer for dimensional information on the flameproof
joints for repair.
b. Painted surface of the RMA 800 series may store electrostatic charge and
become a source of ignition in applications with a low relative humidity less
than approximately30% relative humidity where the painted surface is
relatively free of surface contamination such as dirt, dust or oil. Cleaning of
the painted surface should only be done with a damp cloth.
c. The ambient temperature range, maximum process temperature and
applicable temperature class of the equipment is as follows:
RMA801: T4 for -50˚C < Ta < 85˚C
RMA803: T4 for -20˚C < Ta < 70˚C
d. The RMA800 series enclosure contains aluminum and is considered to
present a potential risk of ignition by impact or friction. Care must be
considered during installation and use to prevent impact or friction to avoid
impact.
e. If a charge-generating mechanism is present, the exposed metallic part on
the enclosure is capable of storing a level of electrostatic charge that could
become incendive for IIC gases. Therefore, the user/installer shall
implement precautions to prevent the buildup of electrostatic charge, e.g.
earthing the metallic part. This is particularly important if the equipment is
installed in a zone 0 location.
f. On installation, the RMA800 series shall be provided with supply transient
protection external to the apparatus such that the voltage at the supply
terminals of the RMA800 series does not exceed 140% of the voltage rating
of the equipment.
