Introduction

1.1About 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 - DE transmitters when a database upload is performed (Refer Table 2 for supported devices).

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.

1.5RMA801 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. (Modele selection guide #34-ST-16-90)

1.6Safety 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.

1.8Two Integrated-Button Assembly (Standard Display)

The iIntegrated two-button assembly for the Standard Display provides the following features and capabilities:

•Menu and enter key functionality.

•With the menu-driven display:

o Comprehensive on-screen menu for navigation.

oRMA Configuration – Select PV, Select Unit, Enter LRV, Enter URV, Input Calibration, Square root selection, Scale low, Scale high, TAG, BUNIT. See Notes below

o RMA Calibration

o Display Configuration - Contrast

o RMA Diagnostics.

Lower range value (LRV): A display parameter (Standard display), which allows users to enter the measuring value for which the analog output will be scaled to 4mA.

Upper range value (URV): A display parameter (Standard display), which allows users to enter the measuring value for which the analog output will be scaled to 20mA

Notes:

1.User should configure LRV and URV when connected to analog transmitters. For DE transmitters LRV and URV are auto-configured from device when upload database is performed.

2.For flow configuration when connected to Analog pressure devices user has to enable SQRT parameter and configure SCLLO & SCLHI

3.For flow configuration when connected to DE pressure devices SQRT parameter is enabled automatically when SQRT is configured in HOST and upload database is performed. User need to manually enter SCLLO & SCLHI values

Installation and Startup

2.1Installation 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: o Ambient Temperature o Relative Humidity

•Potential Noise Sources:

o Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) o Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

•Vibration Sources

o Motorized System Devices (e.g., pumps) o Valve Cavitation

•Process Parameters o Temperature

o Maximum Pressure Rating

2.2Display 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.
