Tsitouras Clocks

Time synchronisation via GPS and radio signal

A bell-tower clock that runs fast or slow gets noticed by everyone. With GPS or radio synchronisation, the time corrects itself — every day.

The benefits

Why synchronise your clock

  • 01

    Accuracy

    The time of the clock and of the bell ringing matches the official time.

  • 02

    Summer and winter time

    The change happens automatically, without anyone climbing the bell tower.

  • 03

    After a power cut

    The system finds the correct time again by itself.

  • 04

    For existing systems too

    Ask us whether your own clock or bell-ringing controller can be upgraded.

How it works

GPS, radio signal or internet

GPS receiver: takes the time from the satellites, wherever the bell tower is — which is why it is the solution we usually recommend in Greece.

Radio synchroniser: receives the DCF77 time signal, broadcast from Germany. In Greece, its reception is not always stable, depending on the area.

Internet: systems connected to the internet can also synchronise the time through a time server.

In every case, the bell-ringing controller also keeps time on its own battery, so that a power cut does not upset the schedule.
