Introduction

1.1 About t he 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

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 represent s itype.

• A value of 1 in the last d ig it m e ans 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)

1.6 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 inform ation. Refer to Appendix A of this document for safety certification
requirements and details.

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

• Menu and enter key functionality.

• With the menu-driven display:

o Comprehensive on-screen menu for navigation.
o RMA Configuration – Select PV, Select Unit, Enter LRV, Enter URV, Input

Calibration, Square root selection, Scale low, Scale high, TAG, BUNIT.

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

2.1 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:

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

2.2 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.
