Part Number: DSD947 J1 J6
Manufacturer
Eaton Crouse-Hinds
Part number
DSD947 J1 J6

Quick Summary

DSD947 J1 J6 is a pilot light cover and device sub-assembly designed for hazardous-area control stations in industrial facilities. Maintenance and inspection of explosion-protected lighting can be hampered by mismatched parts and difficult sealing, leading to downtime and compliance risk. It meets NEC/CEC standards and UL certification for explosion-proof use while carrying Hazardous/Classified Locations ratings (Class I, Division 1 & 2; Class II, Division 1 & 2), ensuring safe operation in demanding environments. With two pilot lights, a factory-sealed design, and a durable feraloy iron alloy construction, this sub-assembly simplifies installation, improves reliability, and reduces spare-part proliferation for OEMs and facility teams.

Dual indicator lights provide clear status signaling in hazardous environments, improving operator safety and reducing reaction time during alarms or faults. Feature →Business Impact →Application: Red/Amber pilot lights enhance visibility in dim or harsh plant areas, lowering miscommunication and enabling faster troubleshooting on control stations. This supports uptime gains and safer start-up/shutdown sequencing in oil & gas, chemical plants, and marine facilities. Factory-sealed construction protects electronics from dust, moisture, and chemical exposure, reducing maintenance cycles and field rework. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and higher equipment availability for offshore platforms and onshore processing sites. Feraloy iron alloy housing delivers rugged durability and corrosion resistance, extending service life in aggressive environments and saving replacement costs over multi-year horizons. Application: offshore rigs, refineries, and mining operations where harsh conditions prevail. The compact, modular design ensures compatibility with existing DSD covers and device sub-assemblies, enabling quick retrofit or expansion without redesigning control stations. Compliance-ready package with NEC/CEC alignment, UL certification, and recognized hazardous-location ratings reduces procurement friction and speeds commissioning. Application: projects requiring explicit regulatory alignment and third-party verifications. Two-pilot-light configuration supports color-coded status signaling, aiding in process control and safety interlocks. This is particularly beneficial in batch operations and remote monitoring installations where clear visual cues are critical for operators and maintenance crews. Overall, the DSD947 J1 J6 delivers measurable improvements in reliability, safety, and lifecycle cost for industrial automation deployments in hazardous areas.

FAQs

The DSD947 J1 J6 is designed for Eaton Crouse-Hinds DSD control stations and is compatible with standard DSD cover and device sub-assembly form factors. Verify dimensions (5.1 in depth, 4.2 in height, 6.5 in width) and mountings to ensure a proper fit within your enclosure. Refer to the DSD catalog page and installation sheets for exact compatibility guidance.
The red/amber two-pilot-light configuration provides immediate visual status cues, enabling operators to quickly distinguish alarm, fault, or normal operating conditions. This reduces reaction time, improves process safety, and supports compliant signaling in Class I and II hazardous areas commonly found in refineries, chemical plants, and offshore facilities.
DSD947 J1 J6 carries NEC/CEC standards for hazardous locations, hazardous-location ratings (Class I, Division 1 & 2; Class II, Division 1 & 2), and UL certification for explosion-proof use. It is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations and aligns with industry requirements to support compliant control-station signaling in challenging environments.
Yes. The unit features a factory-sealed design with a robust feraloy iron alloy housing, delivering protection against ingress in challenging environments typical of marine and offshore installations. This construction minimizes maintenance, reduces ingress-related failures, and extends the life of control-station components in corrosive atmospheres.
Benefit highlights include straightforward field replacement due to standardized dimensions, reduced downtime from sealed components, and compatibility with existing Eaton Crouse-Hinds DSD sub-assemblies. Documentation such as installation instructions and the catalog page streamline procurement, installation planning, and ongoing maintenance for reliability-focused facilities.
