05701-A-0284 Honeywell Catalytic Sensor Drive
05701-A-0284 Honeywell Catalytic Sensor Drive
Description
The Honeywell 05701-to-0284 is a Catalytic Sensor Drive module used in various Honeywell gas detection systems. This component is critical for powering and controlling catalytic sensors, which detect combustible gases such as methane, propane, and butane.
Key Specifications and Features:
Compatibility: Designed for use with Honeywell’s 5701 series gas detectors.
Function: Provides power and control signals to catalytic sensors.
Reliability: Engineered to perform reliably in harsh environments.
Easy Installation: Simple plug-and-play setup ensures quick integration.
Separately Powered Detectors
Separately powered detectors (e.g. most IR, UV/IR Flame detectors) require three or four
wire connections. The detector documentation will indicate the 0V and +24V power
connections and the positive and negative loop connections. When using flame detectors it
is common practice to use only one detector per loop input.
At the System 57 end of the field cables the two detector signal wires should be connected
to the appropriate channels IN+ and IN- terminals of the Hex Relay Interface Card that is
attached to the required 5704F Control Card. The loop current always flows from the IN+
terminal and returns via the IN- terminal.
The power for the detector may be sourced from the System 57 power supply or a separate
field supply, whichever is most appropriate. In small systems, power can be obtained from
terminals 35 and 36 of the Hex Relay Interface Card, but care must be taken not to exceed
the maximum backplane current loading of 8A. A separate dc power distribution block is
recommended.
For fault monitoring purposes, an end of line (EOL) resistor must be fitted in or after the last
detector on the loop. The typical value for end of line resistance is 5.1k ohms.
The detector cable screen, or steel wire armour or braid as appropriate, should be
connected to the system protective earth. This can be achieved where the cable enters the
screen
cabinet by using a metal cable gland, or by other suitable means, and avoiding any
tails within the cabinet.
Where the cable consists of a separate screen sheath and wire armour or braid, the armour
should be connected at
the cabinet entry to the protective earth and the screen sheath
should be connected to the GROUND terminal of the Hex Relay Interface Card or to a
suitable instrument earth point.
