FAQs
The DSD948 J3 T2 is designed for straightforward integration into standard hazardous-location control panels operating at 220-240 Vac. Ensure the enclosure is rated for Class I, II, III environments and that wiring conforms to NEC/CEC requirements. The compact sub-assembly simplifies mounting behind the cover, with a factory-sealed transformer to minimize field moisture ingress. Use proper torque on terminal connections and verify pilot-light function with the system powered after installation to confirm signaling reliability.
This unit operates at 220-240 Vac and features a factory-sealed transformer for reliable performance in hazardous locations. Certifications include NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA rating of 7, 9, and 3, supporting safe operation in Class I, II, and III environments. The area classification is Hazardous/Classified Locations, ensuring conformance with industry safety standards and enabling smoother regulatory approvals during design reviews.
Yes. The green pilot light cover and device sub-assembly are specifically suited for hazardous locations typical of offshore platforms, chemical plants, and other demanding environments. Its corrosion-resistant Feraloy iron alloy housing, combined with a factory-sealed transformer and NEC/CEC compliance, supports long service life, reduced maintenance, and safer signaling in mission-critical control panels in these industries.
The DSD948 J3 T2 carries NEC/CEC standards and a NEMA rating of 7/9/3, aligning with hazardous-location requirements for Class I, II, and III installations. Area classification is Hazardous/Classified Locations, and the unit is designed to meet relevant safety codes, which simplifies regulatory reviews, accelerates procurement, and reduces risk in compliance-heavy projects.
The factory-sealed transformer and rugged feraloy housing minimize moisture ingress and corrosion, lowering field-service frequency. Clear pilot-light signaling reduces operator error and search time during fault conditions. Together with NEC/CEC compliance, these features translate to faster commissioning, predictable maintenance cycles, and a lower overall cost of ownership in hazardous-location control applications.
