Gefran 4T48 Process Indicator Unit

The Gefran 4T48 is a microprocessor-based temperature indication unit, 48×48 mm (1/16 DIN), designed for panel door mounting. It is not a PID controller; its primary function is local display of process variables from temperature sensors or linear signals. The Lexan front panel provides IP65 protection, features three keys, and a 4-digit LED display.

Measurement Inputs

Input type is configured via the front panel and terminal selection, without external shunt or adapter. Supported inputs include:

  • Thermocouples: J, K, R, S, T, B, E, N, L-GOST, U, G, D, C
  • RTD Pt100 / JPt100, 2- or 3-wire
  • PTC and NTC thermistors
  • Linear signals: 0–60 mV, 12–60 mV, 0/4–20 mA, 0–10 V, 2–10 V, 0–5 V, 1–5 V, 0–1 V, 0.2–1 V

Accuracy and Ranges

Input accuracy is 0.2% f.s. ±1 digit. Sampling time is 120 ms for temperature sensors, adjustable down to 15 ms for linear inputs with corresponding resolution trade-off. Linear scale is configurable from -1999 to 9999. 32-segment linearization is available for non-standard signals.

Power Supply and Auxiliary Outputs

Standard supply is 100–240 Vac ±10%, with optional 11–27 Vac/dc. Auxiliary supply for transmitters: 24 Vdc / 50 mA, 15 Vdc / 50 mA, or 1.2 Vdc for potentiometer, depending on order code.

Typical Applications

  • Temperature indication in extrusion lines
  • Rubber presses
  • Test benches and laboratory setups
  • Food processing equipment
  • Thermometry and hygrometry with suitable transmitter

Installation Conditions

Operating temperature: 0–50 °C. Storage: -20–70 °C. Humidity: 20–85% RH, non-condensing. Installation depth: 99 mm. Weight: approx. 150 g (full version).

Standards and Certifications

UKCA declaration covers RoHS, EMC, and Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations. Complies with EN IEC 63000:2018, EN 61326-1:2013, and EN 61010-1:2010.

Overview

Microprocessor based indicator in both 48×48 (1/16 DIN) formats manufactured with SMT.

The instruments have a lexan membrane faceplate (guaranteed to IP65) which has 3 keys, a 4 digit display and 3 indicating LED's for the output statuses.

The input signal can be selected from a wide range of sensors:

  • Thermocouples of type: J,K,R,S,T, B, E, N, L GOST, U, G, D, C
  • Resistance thermometers Pt100, Pt100J 2 / 3 wire
  • PTC and NTC themistors
  • Linear inputs 0 to 60/12 to 60mV, 0 to 20/4 to 20mA, 0 to 10/2 to 10/0 to 5/1 to 5/0 to 1/0, 2 to1V

The selection is made using the faceplate keys and correct input terminals.

No external shunt or adapter is required.

A digital input (24Vdc/5mA) is available for resetting, hold, flash, peak handling or releasing latch.

The instruments have a maximum of 4 outputs that can be mechanical relays (5A/250V) or logic outputs 24V±10% (10Vmin / 20mA).

One output of 4 to 20mA (max. 500 Ohm) is available for retranmitting the measured input signal.

The retransmission output, the digital input and the third output are alternatives.

The options include a triac output that can directly drive resistive loads up to a maximum of 1A at 240V.

The programming of the instrument is made easy by grouping the parameters in function blocks (CFG for the alarm hysteresis, Inp for the inputs, Out for the outputs…) and by a simplified data entry menu.

The configuration can be simplified even further using the PC programming kit made up of a connection cable and a menu guide program that runs under Windows (see technical data).

A configurable personal software protection code (password protection) can be used to restrict the levels of editing and displaying the configuration parameters.
