12vdc trigger to switch 240v socket
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
R

Re: 12vdc trigger to switch 240v socket
just a quick thought
why not put a 12vdc coil relay between the 12v output switching the 240vac supply and 240vac amp.

Re: 12vdc trigger to switch 240v socket
20amp relay is more than needed
