2 INSTALLATION 2.4 Control Power When properly installed, the 269 will meet the interference immunity requirements of IEC 1000-4- The relay is powered on using any one of four 3/EN61000-4-3; EN 61000-4-6. It also meets the different switching power supplies: 120-125 emission requirements of IEC CISPR11/EN55011 VAC/VDC, 240-250 VAC/VDC, 48 VDC, or 24 VDC.
