Optional Remote Setpoint input (0/4 to 20 mA) allows for cascade control 

loops, where tighter control is required; and allows for remotely driven setpoint 

signal from computers or other similar equipment. Straightforward end point 

scaling with independent filtering and local/remote transfer option expand the 

controller’s flexibility.

The optional RS485 serial communication interface provides two-way 

communication between a T48 and other compatible equipment such as a 

printer, PLC, HMI, or a host computer. In multipoint applications (up to thirty-

two), the address number of each T48 on the line can be programmed from 0 to 

99. Data from the T48 can be interrogated or changed, and alarm output(s) may 

be reset by sending the proper command code via serial communications. PC 

software, SFCRM, allows for easy configuration of controller parameters. 

These settings can be saved to disk for later use or used for multi-controller 

down loading. On-line help is provided within the software.

The unit is constructed of a lightweight, high impact plastic case with a tinted 

front panel. The front panel meets NEMA 4X/IP65 specifications when properly 

installed. Multiple units can be stacked horizontally or vertically. Modern 

surface-mount technology, extensive testing, plus high immunity to noise 

interference makes the controller extremely reliable in industrial environments.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the 

manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to 

prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If 

equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection 

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the T48 to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators not 

equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or 

equipment in the event of a fault to the controller. An independent and redundant 

temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly recommended.
