Part Number: DSD948 J1 LED
Manufacturer
Eaton Crouse-Hinds
Part number
DSD948 J1 LED

Quick Summary

DSD948 J1 LED is a rugged pilot light sub-assembly designed for hazardous-location control panels in process automation. End-users routinely face moisture ingress, dust, and unreliable indicator signals in demanding environments, which can compromise safety and uptime. This unit is NEC/CEC compliant and rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations with a NEMA protection class of 9, 7, 3, simplifying certification efforts. Its red LED indicator, factory-sealed construction, and feraloy iron alloy housing deliver durable signaling in oil, gas, and chemical plants. By integrating this sub-assembly, facilities reduce maintenance, improve operator visibility, and streamline retrofits with existing Eaton Crouse-Hinds enclosures.

The red LED pilot light delivers immediate, high-contrast signaling even in bright factory environments, enabling faster operator response and reduced downtime in critical control panels. This translates to measurable improvements in line throughput and safety, especially where emergency stops and interlocks rely on clear status indication. In hazardous-area installations, reliable visibility under harsh lighting is a decisive operational advantage. Feraloy iron alloy housing provides rugged durability and corrosion resistance, extending service life in demanding environments such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and offshore facilities. The materials choice plus a sealed exterior reduces wear from heat, moisture, and vapors, lowering replacement costs and maintenance intervals. The design supports stable operation across temperature extremes typical of Class I/II, Division 1 & 2 locations. Factory-sealed construction keeps moisture, dust, and corrosive vapors out of the signal path, decreasing false indicators and panel downtime. This protection also simplifies cleaning and inspection routines, because openings remain closed against contaminants. Installation teams appreciate the consistent performance of the LED indicator in environments where condensate and airborne particulates are common. One pilot light per sub-assembly reduces wiring complexity and speeds up field retrofits by matching standard DSD cover and device sub-assemblies. The red LED can be easily integrated with existing Eaton Crouse-Hinds enclosures, enabling quick upgrades without replacing entire switchgear. This compatibility minimizes downtime during maintenance windows and supports scalable signaling across multi-panel installations. Compliance with NEC/CEC standards and Hazardous/Classified Locations ratings, together with NEMA 9, 7, 3 protection, provides a clear regulatory path for diverse industries. Plants seeking global certifications benefit from a unified solution that supports cross-border projects and audits. The combination of performance, compatibility, and certification reduces project risk and accelerates time-to-operational status.
