Two pilot lights
Factory sealed construction with two pilot lights provides a protected status indicator in hazardous environments. The sealed sub-assembly prevents ingress of dust and moisture, reducing field maintenance, arcing risk, and false signaling. This is a practical solution for control stations and DSD configurations where reliability and uptime are non-negotiable, and downtime costs are high. Copper-free aluminum offers corrosion resistance in chemical plants, offshore platforms, and other harsh atmospheres. Coupled with the rugged housing, it yields lighter weight yet robust protection, enabling easier handling during installation and longer service intervals. The material choice also supports compliance with environmental standards while maintaining mechanical strength in demanding applications. Visible red/amber indicators provide immediate operational insight, minimizing misinterpretations during startup or fault events. The dual pilot-light arrangement expands signaling options for operators and maintenance teams, enabling quicker decision-making, safer shutdowns, and reduced response times in emergency scenarios. This signaling clarity is critical for hazardous-area control stations and remote diagnostics. Dimensions and compatibility are designed for standard control-station enclosures: 5.1 in length, 4.2 in height, and 6.5 in width, weighing 1.8 lb. The DSD947 J1 J6 SA sub-assembly is compatible with Eaton’s DSD cover family and installation literature, simplifying field retrofit, panel assembly, and cross-reference with other DSD components. The combination supports faster commissioning and consistent signaling across a multi-device panel.
