Triggering SFX00 on 32 AP-16's at once

[gadget-evilusions]

Hello,

Below is a picture of my current AP-16 wall. All of my players run the ambient.wav file all night. I have recently come upon a situation where I would like to trigger SFX00.wav on all players at the same time. What would be the easiest way of preforming this feat. I don't believe I can parallel all the switch inputs to one switch.

I believe the simplest solution would be a 24v signal into the 12-24v port. It's optically isolated, non-polarized, and takes just a few mA per board.

Would that be wired in parallel or series?

[JonnyMac]

Parallel. Sorry I left out that detail.

Parallel. Sorry I left out that detail.

To add to Jon's point, you should be able to use one power supply for what you want to do. I also suggest using a 24VDC power supply due to lower amps at higher voltage. This way you can this power supply to other things without need to have multiple power supplies.

Other point. If you go with multiple power supplies, keep them separate from each other and use multi-pole switch to keep the multiple voltages separate.

All common sense. If someone else runs across this post, useful information for them though. Thanks.

Wow!! That is alot of AP-16+'s!!!! Cool

Brian doesn't mess around. Want proof?...  http://www.efx-tek.com/php/smf/index.php?topic=1040.0

That's major proof!

All 32 cards triggered perfectly after I wired them all just as you instructed.

Thanks!
