Tsitouras Clocks
Hour strikers
As in the old days, the bell counts the hours of the day — except that today it does so automatically and accurate to the second.
How it works
The time, in the voice of the bell
The hour striker takes the time from the clock or from the bell-ringing system and makes the bell strike the hours — through an electromagnetic striker, without the bell moving.
It can be fitted to new and existing bells and works with the clocks and bell-ringing controllers we install. The striking hours are set to suit the needs of the church.
Settings
Striking that suits your parish
- 01
Hours, half-hours, quarters
You choose whether the bell strikes only the full hours, or the half-hours and quarters as well.
- 02
On which bell
You decide which bell in the tower strikes the hours.
- 03
Quiet hours
The system stays silent during the hours you set — at night, for example — and starts again by itself in the morning.
- 04
Hour chime
On some systems, a short melody can play before the hour, such as the well-known “Big Ben” chime.
