Yeah, I thought this would be the case, for some reason, Packetflux support led my guy to realize that it didn’t work that way.

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!
