Or a triac if it is an AC load.

The typical solution with a light-duty relay is to use it to control a heavier
relay that carries the actual load.

Yes, we know that, and have used it on lighter loads. But, apparently there
is a challenge on a heavier load as we described below. Wanting to know if we
can do what we want and maybe we just have the wrong external relay

Yes, there is a relay output on the siteMonitor II that you can trigger via
SNMP or web interface.

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!
