2.4 Wiring a Remote Indicator

2.4.1 Overview

The Remote Indicator is designed to operate in normal 4-20mA analog mode with 4-20 mA /HART
enabled transmitters or DE mode for Honeywell SmartLine transmitters in digital and analog modes.
(Except SMV800/DE)
For improved noise performance, it is recommended to provide earth ground for both transmitter and
RMA housing.

2.4.2 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.

Figure 10: Remote Indicator connected on the negative side of loop (analog mode)

12 RMA801 Remote Indicator User’s manual Revision 5

Figure 11: Remote Indicator connected on the positive side of loop (analog mode)

Figure 12: Remote Indicator connected on the negative side of loop (DE mode)

Note – The resistor “R” indicates the loop resistor which is needed for HART and DE communication
and is typically provided by the user or cont ro l system .

ATTENTION
Wiring must comply with local codes, regulations and ordinances. Grounding

may be required to meet various approval body certifications, for example CE
conformity. Refer to Appendix A of this document for details.

2.4.3 Wiring Procedure

1.

See Figure 12, for parts locations. Loosen the end cap lock using a 1.5 mm Allen wrench.

2. Remove the end cap cover from the terminal block end of the electronics housing.

3. Feed loop power leads through one end of the conduit entrances on either side of the

electronics housing. The Remote Indicator accepts up to 16 AWG wire.

4. Plug the unused conduit entrance with a conduit plug appropriate for the environment.

5. Follow the attached wiring diagram for respective connections with transmitters. Torque

terminal screws to 0,6 N.m (5.3 lbf.in) to 0.8 N.m (7.0 lbf.in).

6. Connect the Loop Power wiring shield to earth ground only at the power supply side.

7. Replace the end cap and secure it in place being careful not to damage the wires.

ATTENTION

Ensure the RMA housing is properly earth grounded. It is
recommended to use 8AWG (or 8.37mm2) bare or green covered wire.

ATTENTION

above), the PV value will be shown as 0.0 for approxim ately 2-3 seconds, th e n i t will recover to
actual value.

4. At power-up RMA is showing valid PV value after 20 second.

Notes on Saturation

1. Saturation conditions in RMA do not follow NAMUR standard

2. Low and high saturation conditions are not displayed when device is in digital mode

3. RMA displays saturation condition only when loop current reaches 20.5 for high and 3.8 for

low

Notes on Failsafe condition

1. RMA displays failsafe/fault condition only when loop current reaches 21 for high fail safe and

3.6 for low fail safe condition.

Security

8.1 Security guidelines

The RMA801 provides several features designed to prevent accidental changes to the device
configuration or calibration data. These features include a hardware write protect jumper. These
features can be used in combination to provide multiple layers of configuration change protection.
For maximum security, the RMA device and the network loop must be protected against
unauthorized physical access.

A hardware write-protect locks the changes. The hardware jumper requi res phy sical access to the
device as well as partial disassembly and should not be modified where the electronics are exposed
to harsh conditions or where unsafe conditions exist.

Ensure that the device has hardware write protect jumper is set to the appropriate position on the
device to prevent any unauthorized configuration changes.

a. General

The following information is provided as part of the labeling of the Remote Indicator:
Name and Address of the manufacturer
The serial number of the Remote Indicator is located on the Meter Body data-plate. The

first two digits of the serial number identify the year (02) and the second two digits identify
the week of the year (23); for example, 0223xxxxxxxx indicates that the product was
manufactured in 2002, in the 23rd week.

b. Apparatus Marked with Multiple Types of Protection

The user must determine the type of protection required for installation the equipment.
The user shall then check the box [ ] adjacent to the type of protection used on the
equipment certification nameplate. Once a type of protection has been checked on the
nameplate, the equipment shall not then be reinstalled using any of the other certification
types.

Revision 5 RMA801 Remote Indicator User’s manual 45

Conditions of Us e “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.
