Eaton DL196 Legend Plate - Hazardous Locations (NEC/CEC)
Part Number: DL196
Quick Summary
The Eaton DL196 legend plate provides compact labeling for FlexStation DL control stations in hazardous locations. Keeping clear, durable operator labels in tough environments is a common reliability bottleneck that drives downtime and maintenance costs. It carries NEC/CEC-compliant hazardous location ratings, including Class I zones and divisions, Class II and Class III considerations, and NEMA ratings such as 12, 3R, 9, and 7. With its single-hole cover compatibility and Start-Emer Stop inscription, it supports fast installation and consistent, auditable labeling, helping you meet regulatory demands while reducing lifecycle costs. This makes it an essential component for safer, more efficient automation in energy, chemical, and manufacturing environments.
