Installation and Startup
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:
Display Installation Precautions
Temperature extremes can affect display quality. The display can go blank if
the temperature is belo w -20°C; however, this is only a temporary condition.
The display will again be readable when temperatures return to within
operable limits. The display update rate may increase at cold tempera tu re
extremes, but as with readability, normal updating resumes when
temperatures are within limits for full operability.
Mounting Remote Indicator
Summary
Remote Indicator models can be attached to a two-inch (50 millimeter)
vertical or horizontal pipe using Honey well ’s opt io nal pip e mou nti n g bra ck et .
Honeywell’s optional wall mounting bracket is also shown below.
Figure 1 shows typical bracket-mounted installations.

Mounting Dimensions
Refer to Honeywell drawing number 50094836 for detailed electronic housing
dimensions. Refer to Honeywell drawing numbers 50095917 for detailed pipe
mounting dimensions and 50095918 for detailed wall mounting dimensions.
Abbreviated overall dimensions are also shown on the Specification Sheets for the
Remote Indicator models. This section assumes that the mounting dimensions have
already been taken into account and the mounting area can accommodate the Remote
Indicator.
Bracket Mounting
If you are using an optional bracket, start with Step 1.
1. Align the two mounting holes in the Remote Indicator with the two slots in
the mounting bracket and assemble the (2) M8 hex cap screws, (2)
lockwashers and (2) flat washers provided. Rotate Remote Indicator
assembly to the desired position and torque the M8 hex cap screws to
27,0 Nm/20,0 Lb-ft maximum.
Pipe Mount Option: Refer to Figure 2
2. Position the bracket on a 2-inch (50.8 mm) horizontal or vertical pipe, and
install a “U” bolt around the pipe and through the holes in the bracket.
Secure the bracket with the nuts, flat washers and lock washers provided.
3. Wall Mount Option: Position the bracket on the mounting surface at the
desired location and secure the bracket to the mounting surface using the
appropriate hardware (Wall mounting hardware requirements to be
determined and supplied by the end user)
Wiring a Remote Indicator
Overview
The Remote Indicator is designed to operate as part of a Fieldbus Network.
Loop wiring is connected to the Remote Indicator by simply attaching the loop wires to the
terminals on the Remote Indicator terminal block in the Electronics Housing shown in Figure
3. Connect the Loop Power wiring shield to earth ground only at the power supply end.
Figure 3: Two Position FF Terminal Block
As shown in Figure 5, each Remote Indicator has an internal ground terminal. Optionally, a
ground terminal is also on the outside of the Electronics Housing. While it is not necessary
to ground the Remote Indicator for proper operation, doing so tends to minimize the
possible effects of noise on the output signal and affords protection against lightning and
static discharge. An optional lightning terminal block can be installed in place of the nonlightning terminal block for Remote Indicators that will be installed in an area that is highly
susceptible to lightning strikes. For this to be effective the instrument case must be
connected to earth ground.
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.

Wiring Procedure
1. See Figure 3, above, 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. Feed both loop powered leads through the Ferrite core, 32301350-001, and
then back around and through a second time.
6. Connect both loop power leads to the loop terminals. Torque terminal screws
to 0,6 N.m (5.3 lbf.in) to 0.8 N.m (7.0 lbf.in).
Note. The remote Indicator is not polarity-sensitive.
7. Replace the end cap and secure it in place being careful not to damage the
ferrite core or wires.
Fieldbus Network Wiring
For Fieldbus network wiring concepts, see application notes such as Relcom Inc. Fieldbus
Wiring Guide.
Lightning Protection
If your Remote Indicator includes the optional lightning protection, connect a wire from the
Earth Ground Clamp (see Figure 3) to Earth Ground to make the protection effective. Use
a size 8 AWG or (8.37mm2) bare or green covered wire for this connection.
Explosion-Proof Conduit Seal
WARNING
When installed as explosion proof in a Division 1 Hazardous
Location, keep covers tight while the Remote Indicator is
energized. Disconnect power to the Remote Indicator in the nonhazardous area prior to removing end caps for service.
When installed as non-incendive equipment in a Division 2
hazardous location, disconnect power to the Remote Indicator in
the non-hazardous area, or determine that the location is nonhazardous before disconnecting or connecting the Remote
Indicator wires.
Remote Indicator installed as explosion proof in Class I, Division 1, Group A Hazardous
(classified) locations in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, the US National Electrical
Code, with 1/2 inch conduit do not require an explosion-proof seal for installation. If 3/4
inch conduit is used, a LISTED explosion proof seal must be installed in the conduit,
within 18 inches (457.2 mm) of the Remote Indicator.
Supply Voltage Limiting Requirements
If your Remote Indicator complies with the ATEX 4 directive for self-declared
approval per 94/9EC, the power supply has to include a voltage-limiting device.
Voltage must be limited such that it does not exceed 9 to 32 V DC. Consult the
process design system documentation for specifics.
ATTENTION
FF power Supply along with the Terminators has to be used.
