New sensor request - contact closure/relay input

I have generators that provide a contact closure when they are started/running

 

My antique ims4000 from sensaphone has power in, temp, water, and contact input.

 

I can finally replace it if I can get a way to get a relay input.

 

Dose the open close sensor provide a way to connect up wires to it for getting a contact closure input?

 

Thanks,

Greg

Going sideways, what about using the power controller, and plugging it into the 110V/240V side of your generator to detect when it is running or not?

No - MT20 uses a Hall Effect sensor to detect the magnetic field of the included magnet, to determine if a Door is open or closed.

The MT12 leak detector might work.

 

It presumably works by sensing the change in current through the sensor cable, so I'd think you could use it as an open/closed detector.
