Of course you could always use the relay to run a relay. Use 24vdc in
the SiteMonitor (or whatever voltage you have) to activate/deactivate
the relay inline with the sensor.

If you're talking about a Generac single phase setup, just put in an
external DPDT relay to cut the two utility monitor legs (normally the
two yellow wires in a transfer kit). Most of the Generac controllers
wait for 192 volts or less, so I suppose you could cut only one leg
and achieve the same thing. There should be very little if any current
on those two wires since they're just used for voltage and frequency
sensing.
I know that our 22kw QS has the 2-wire remote start option, which I
didn't really bother looking into since we're using the normal switch
setup.
But me personally, I will be keeping AC away from the SiteMonitor
because some dipshit (me) will electrocute himself.

Can I use the DC relay in a site monitor base unit to trigger an AC
relay?
Can I use the relay in a site monitor to directly switch an AC load?
What I want to do is trick the utility power sensor in a standby
generator so I can make it start when I want it to. So an NC relay
in-line with that sensor, and I'll open it to make the genny start.
