Service and fault repair

Bell not ringing? Clock stopped? Before you call us, try the simple checks below — and if that does not solve it, we come to your church wherever it is in Greece; abroad we advise from photos and measurements.

Fault guide

If… then…

Simple checks the sexton can make safely. Do not open electrical panels (230 V).

Common symptoms and what to check
If…Then…
Nothing works, the screen is blankCheck the church’s main switch and fuse, then the fuse of the controller. If everything is fine, call us.
The screen shows the wrong time or dateUsually after a power cut lasting several days. Correct the time — the schedule runs on the time shown on the screen. How to correct the time.
The screen is on, but nothing rings on timeCheck whether the automatic schedule has been suspended (e.g. a lit “cancel” light or an unlit programme icon).
Only the hours do not strikeCheck whether the hour strike has been switched off or whether quiet hours are in force.
One bell does not ringTry it with its manual button. If the striker does not move: coil, cable or relay. If it moves but does not reach the bell: it needs adjusting by a technician.
The sound is weak or muffled, the striker “sticks”Oil the plunger with machine oil (every 3–4 months). Check the rubber pad and the spring.
The striker gets hot or smells burntStop operation and let it cool down. The coil may be worn — call us.
The motor-driven bell does not swingPossible fault in the motor, the relay or the swing settings — a technician is needed.
The remote control does not workReplace the battery and try again closer to the bell tower.
The Wi-Fi app shows the buttons “greyed out”The Wi-Fi unit has lost the network: check the church’s router and internet connection. It reconnects by itself.
The clock hands show a different time from the screenThe tower clock needs to be synchronised from the controller’s menu.
After a storm or lightning strikeCheck the fuses. If the screen has “frozen” or shows garbled characters, call us.
