FAQs
The DSD947 J3 J6 is designed for standard hazardous-area enclosures and carries NEC/CEC compliance with NEC hazardous ratings for Class I/II/III locations and NEMA ratings 7, 9, 3. It fits typical panel cutouts associated with Crouse-Hinds DSD covers, enabling straightforward retrofits and new-install applications while maintaining factory-sealed integrity.
Two pilot lights provide redundant or complementary status signaling, enabling clear indication of active circuits and fault conditions. This improves fault isolation times, enhances operator awareness in loud or dimly lit spaces, and supports safer maintenance practices in oil & gas, chemical processing, and marine installations.
The DSD947 J3 J6 measures 5.1 inches in length, 4.2 inches in height, and 6.5 inches in width, with a weight of 4.13 pounds. These specs support compatibility with common enclosure footprints and facilitate accurate retrofits without enclosure resizing or additional mounting hardware.
Yes. The DSD947 J3 J6 is compatible with Eaton/Crouse-Hinds replacement covers and benefits from IF series installation guidance. The official instruction sheets and installation resources help ensure correct mounting, wiring, and sealing to preserve the factory-sealed integrity in harsh environments.
Documentation includes the DSD and DSDX catalog page, Canadian certification listings, UL Canada references, and installation sheets IF1424 and related Eaton guidance. These resources underpin regulatory compliance, installation best practices, and safe operation in hazardous locations across global markets.
