Gefran 4T72 Process Indicator Unit

The Gefran 4T72 is a microprocessor-based temperature/process indicator, 72×36 mm, designed for panel door mounting. This device is not a PID controller; it is intended for local indication of temperature or linear process variables. The Lexan front panel provides IP65 protection, features three keys, and a red LED display with 2, 3, or 4 digits.

Measurement Inputs

Input type is selectable from the front panel, with no external shunt or adapter required. 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 990 Ω and NTC 1 kΩ
  • 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 is 0.2% f.s. ±1 digit at 25 °C. Sampling time is 120 ms for temperature sensors, adjustable down to 15 ms for linear inputs (with reduced resolution).

Scaling and Linearisation

For linear inputs, scaling is configurable up to -1999…9999 (4-digit), -999…999 (3-digit), or -99…99 (2-digit) display. 32-segment linearisation is available for non-standard signals and engineering unit display.

Power Supply and Auxiliary Outputs

Supply voltage: 11–27 Vdc or 18–27 Vac, 50/60 Hz, up to 3 VA, not isolated from sensor input. Transmitter supply 18 Vdc / 50 mA or 1.2 Vdc for potentiometer available depending on model.

Typical Applications

  • Local temperature indication in furnaces or thermal zones
  • Hygrometry with suitable transmitter
  • Remote repeaters in machine panels
  • Test benches and laboratory setups
  • Food processing equipment

Installation Conditions and Standards

Operating range: 0–50 °C; storage: -20–70 °C; humidity: 20–85% RH, non-condensing. UKCA declaration references EN 63000:2018, EN 61326-1:2013, and EN 61010-1:2010.

Technical specifications

Overview

Microprocessor based indicator in 72×36 format manufactured with SMT.

The instruments have a lexan membrane faceplate (guaranteed to IP65) which has 3 keys, a 2, 3 / 4-digit display.

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 (japanese standard) 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 contact.

No external shunt or adapter is required.

The programming of the instrument is made easy by grouping the parameters in function blocks 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 win windows (see data sheet cod. 80021).

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