Get a DIN mount DPDT, wire it so your load is on the normally closed
contacts. Run the control circuit on the DPDT through the normally open
contact on the Site Monitor.
I'd bet a Google search can give you diagrams.

Subject: [AFMUG] Sitemonitor Question with Relay
My service manager seems to be struggling with using the Sitemonitor
Relay contact to trigger a 48 Relay that we want to use to power cycle
the whole tower if necessary. So, Packetflux states that the Relay
control is maximum. 30v 1amp. So a little more than half the amps at
48v.
So, in the past (lighter loads on towers) we used this to trigger an
external relay and “open” the ground to the main power feed going up
the tower. At 48v, we sometimes are around 2amp on the bigger towers,
some perhaps a bit higher still. (with a 48v relay).
We should be able to use the Sitemonitor to somehow accomplish it.
Can anybody comment on this?
Thanks!
