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.

Overview
Figure 7: RMA801 Terminal Block

Terminal Block

The RMA801 has 3 terminals. Following table provides the connection details

Terminal No	Description
5	Loop +ve
6	Loop -ve
9	DE COMM

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)

Wiring Connections and Power Up

Make sure that the following power supply constraint is met.

??,??? = 2.3? + ?????,??? + (????? ∗ Im??/1000)

Where

V S Min is minimum supply voltage
V Txer, Min is Transmitter Minimum supply voltage at terminals
R loop is loop resistance in ohms

I max High failSafe/Burnout current in mA

Wiring Options

There are 3 wiring options for connecting Remote Indicator to the loop.
See Figure 8, Figure 9 and Figure 10 for the wiring connections.

DE Devices
In this mode, the Remote Indicator shall be connected as shown in Figure 8.

A.3 Conditions of Use” for Ex Equipment”, Hazardous Location Equipment

or “Schedule of Limitations”:

Consult the manufacturer for dimensional information on the flameproof joints for repair.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
