Remote Signaling to BMS/SCADA
Wire the changeover contact correctly.

Contact type
Most power SPDs offer a floating changeover contact. Wire to a digital input with the correct sense (open-on-fault vs close-on-fault) as designed.
Alarm philosophy
Treat SPD alarms as maintenance work orders, not as optional noise.
Unmanned sites
Solar farms and remote pump stations should not rely on someone noticing a red flag once a year.
