Control clock DigiTimer
The Rauscher DigiTimer is a fully electronic, microprocessor-controlled quartz master clock that meets the highest demands when it comes to controlling tower clocks and bell systems. By using a touchscreen, we have achieved maximum ease of use. The watch is rounded off by a USB slot. This enables program exchange with a PC. PC software for maintaining the data is supplied by us. We would be happy to send you this PC program on request. Thanks to radio synchronization, it is no longer necessary to adjust or change over.

BELLS
Bronze bells
Since roughly 1000 years bells are used for liturgical purposes in middle Europe. During this time their shape and functioning has only changed during the first 400 to 500 years - since approx. 1400 to 1500 the bell as we know it today was fully developed. Only in younger times new materials such as Steel- or Cast Iron bells as well as new production ways were introduced. We usually deliver bells that are cast from bronze in the traditional and century old clay-form procedure.

Bell shell
If a tower clock is to be provided with a quarter and / or hour strike and the bell will not be rung, thick-walled bell shells are suitable. The bell shells casted in bronze have a deep sounding range. Thereby, the weight of a bell shell is less than the one of a classical bell, although the same tone can be produced. That means that costs can be saved and still a wonderful sound can be achieved.
