Mounting
The 869 unit can be mounted two ways: standard panel mount or optional tab mounting, if required.

l Standard panel mounting:From the front of the panel, slide the empty case into the cutout. From
the rear of the panel, screw the case into the panel at the 8 screw positions (see figures in Standard
panel mount section).
l Optional tab mounting:The “V” tabs are located on the sides of the case and appear as shown in
the following figure. Use needle nose pliers to bend the retaining "V" tabs outward to about 90°.
Use caution and do not bend and distort the wall of the enclosure adjacent to the tabs. The relay
can now be inserted and can be panel wired.
