The Honeywell 05704-A-0121 Quad Relay Interface Card is a field interface module designed for the Honeywell System 5704 Gas Detection Controller. It provides connections between four gas detectors and the Four Channel Control Card while integrating four independent Single Pole Changeover (SPCO) relay outputs. Each relay can be configured for A1, A2, A3 alarm, fault, inhibit, individual alarm, or master alarm operation. The module also provides power distribution, remote reset inputs, and analog output connections, making it a key interface between field devices and the controller.
