yes but how to use it in PBP
YEs...this is what I was thinking but I don't know how to have PBP
interface this inductance coil.
I'm a programmer, not an electronics engineer, so I am at a loss as to
what PBP command to use with this coil from coilcraft.
My first thought was to do PULSIN but I do not know the proper way to wire
PULSIN to an inductor coil.
Any example or advice how to wire and read the COILCRAFT coil output?

Rectify the coil output and then read it with an ADC pin on the PIC.
With a little experimentation, you will not only be able to see if the load is on or off, you will also be able to tell what the load is.
Say the max amps in the load circuit is 20 and the ADC is 8 bit. Set the VREF so that 20 amps reads 255 at the ADC. Then 127 at the ADC would indicate 10 amps on the load circuit. Or there abouts.
