12vdc trigger to switch 240v socket

roba666 · 23-12-2007, 10:53 AM

Hi

I am multi-zoning my house and need a way to remotely switch on my amp upstairs Denon 3802, when triggered by the 12vdc trigger zone output of a Denon 3808 downstairs. Obviously I'll be running a hard wired connection between the two.

I've found stuff in the US made by Niles but it's expensive and also seems to be 110v.

Any ideas or will I have to try and make something.

thanks

just a quick thought

why not put a 12vdc coil relay between the 12v output switching the 240vac supply and 240vac amp.

yep, trying to fing the best relay for the job now, any idea how many amps I'd need to switch?

20amp relay is more than needed
