Description
Product Overview
The Honeywell 05701-A-0302 is a single-channel catalytic gas control card for the Honeywell System 57 gas detection rack, originally under Honeywell Sieger brand. It powers and reads catalytic bead combustible gas sensors to measure gas concentration in %LEL, processes alarm logic, performs continuous sensor health diagnostics and provides local display. This legacy rack card is widely used on refineries, offshore platforms, chemical plants and gas compressor stations, supplied as spare replacement parts for existing System 57 gas safety systems.
