Bell-ringing equipment
Church bell automation
The bell-ringing controller is the unit that makes the bells ring by themselves: at the right time, with the right ringing pattern. We have controllers for 1 to 64 bells — and you can operate them from your phone.
What an automation system includes

Which controller does your church need?
Choosing the bell-ringing controller — also called the bell control unit or bell panel — is a key decision for any church. We recommend the best solution for your needs. What matters:
- How many bells the bell tower has — or will have in the future.
- Whether there is a clock in the bell tower that must be driven and strike the hours.
- Whether you want to ring the bells remotely: by remote control, from your phone over Wi-Fi, from a computer or a tablet.
- Whether you want hymns (troparia) and Doxology peals on tuned bells or on electronic bells.
