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!
