Eaton Specification Sheet - DSD948 J1 LED SA
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The red LED pilot light with a factory-sealed sub-assembly provides immediate visual status without frequent maintenance, reducing downtime and improving operational visibility on control panels used in hazardous locations. This design translates to lower unplanned maintenance costs and safer interlock signaling in chemical, petrochemical, and offshore environments where quick status recognition is critical. Application: Use in hazardous area control stations where NEC/CEC compliance and durable signaling are essential to process reliability. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper-free aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance in damp or chemically active environments, extending product life in coastal or industrial facilities and lowering replacement cycles. Application: Ideal for marine and offshore equipment where environmental exposure is a concern. Feature → Business Impact → Application: LED, factory-sealed capability minimizes ingress paths and enhances reliability, reducing field service calls and improving mean time between failures (MTBF). Application: Suitable for continuously monitored safety indicators in battery rooms, pump stations, and hazardous area automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA 9 3 7 and Class I/II/III ratings provide broader installation flexibility, enabling compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Application: Enables standardized signaling across diverse facility layouts with confidence in certification alignment.

FAQs
Yes. The DSD948 J1 LED SA is designed as a cover and sub-assembly that interfaces with Eaton Crouse-Hinds DSD control stations. Its copper-free aluminum construction and factory-sealed LED pilot light support straightforward retrofits and new installations in hazardous locations, reducing integration time and minimizing modification needs on existing enclosures.
The device is specified for NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous area classifications (Class I, II, III in various divisions) and NEMA ratings (9, 3, 7). This combination supports installation across multiple jurisdictions and ensures that signaling remains reliable in hazardous and classified environments.
Copper-free aluminum and a factory-sealed LED sub-assembly provide corrosion resistance and ingress protection in harsh marine atmospheres. The product’s robust construction and certified hazardous location ratings help maintain indicator visibility and system integrity in offshore platforms, ships, and other marine equipment.
The LED indicator paired with a factory-sealed housing reduces ingress paths for dust and moisture, lowering the risk of indicator failure. This design translates to fewer field service interventions, improved MTBF, and more consistent signaling for operators in safety-critical control stations.
Although initial costs may be higher than basic indicators, the DSD948 J1 LED SA provides longer service life, lower maintenance, and certification-aligned installation across hazardous locations. The result is reduced downtime, lower lifecycle costs, and improved safety compliance for process control infrastructure.
