How thirsty is the control needs of an SSR?

My controller has logic output

18V ± 1V at 10mA (15mA short circuit current). On/off or time proportional (not isolated from PV)

which I surmise is for an SCR.

I have SSR.

Will this output be enough for SSR?

Is it doable to use alarm circut ? there's a N/O and an N/C

Relevent information is at

Thanks for any help

Assuming that's 18V DC, I bet you'll be fine. Most of the SSR's I see are 3-32V trigger voltage.
