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 STT250/STT700 in digital and analog modes. For improved noise performance, it is recommended to provide earth ground for both transmitter and RMA housing.
Figure 10: Remote Indicator connected on the positive side of loop (analog mode) Figure 11: 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 control system.

Changing the Write protect Direction On the Remote Indicator, there is no failsafe jumper selection but there is a write protect jumper. The bottom jumper sets the write protect. The default setting is OFF (un-protected). When set to the ON (protected) position, changed configuration parameters cannot be written to the Remote Indicator.
Table 7: Write Protect Jumpers Image Description Write Protect = OFF (Not Protected) Write Protect = ON (Protected) 1. Ensure the Remote indicator is disconntecd form the loop. 2. Loosen the end cap lock, and unscrew the end cap from the display side of the Remote Indicator housing.

The RMA801 Remote Indicator does not require any specific maintenance at regularly scheduled intervals. Maintenance of the RMA801 is limited to ensuring that connections, seals and mounting are tight and secure. There are no moving parts or adjustments and hence no reason to open the field housing except to inspect for corrosion or conductive dust entry which could later affect reliable operation.
