1. 1. Introduction

Vigyan Ashram has designed & developed an

“Automatic bell” for schools / College/Institute
and remote locations. Users of the manual will be
able to build their own Automatic bell using this
manual. All the Bills of Materials (BOM) and
dimensions of the systems are given in the design.
We have provided design files drawn using
Solidworks along with this manual. Users are
suggested to read the manual carefully along with
the site conditions before fabrication of the unit.

In today’s life, everyone gives importance to time.

Time does not wait for anybody. Everything
should be performed in time & with accuracy.
Nowadays school/college bells are operated
manually. Hence there is a big question of
accuracy. Also there is the necessity of manpower
and money. Hence here we have presented a
system, which saves our manpower and money &
also gives highest accuracy. A bell is a percussion
instrument used in schools and colleges that
indicates the students when it is time to go to the
class in the morning and when it is time to change
classes during the day. No other instrument can do
such a work. So it is an important instrument in
both primary and secondary schools and even in
the industries and other businesses where the bell
timer plays a critical role throughout the day.
2. 2. Purpose of Manual

• To share standardized design of Automatic bell

suitable for small schools, Colleges and institutes.
• Design to be made available online for students to
build Automatic bell for their uses.
• Conventional methods require a peon or bell
operator to attend and operate the bell system for
every period and interval in schools and
institutions.
• Systems need sufficient human efforts to do so,
and require advancement in order to become
automated – the ones that minimize human
efforts.

• As the bell system is important in schools, homes,

and industries, the automatic operation of this
instrument must have to be performed with a
precise time controller economically.
3. 3. Safety Instructions

During fabrication of the system we should use safety

equipment such as hand gloves, shoes and glasses.

(And as appropriate)
4. 4. Product Description

This is an Automatic Bell. This system can be deployed

on schools, colleges, industries, factories, hotels.
Restaurants, warehouses, cinema halls.

Electricity operated gong bell, Rated voltage 220 V that

is normal voltage. Strong gong bell for loud long range
sound. Unbeatable big bell for loud sound.
The Proposed system can be able to ring the bell in
Accurate Time.
The detail view and BOM are shown in below:

5. 5. Features

• No man Power Needed

• 100% Accurate time (instead say - fairly
accurate)
• Easy to Set timing and Date
• Simple operation & settings, no computers
required to program or maintain ringing schedule
• No battery required to maintain clock and stored
program.

10. 8. How it works? –
11.

When the switch is pushed on, the circuit gets completed

and the current starts flowing through the U-shaped
electromagnet which creates a magnetic field in the core.
This attracts the iron armature. When the armature moves
towards the electromagnet, the hammer strikes the gong
and the bell rings.

Circuit Diagram of Bell/Wiring diagram

How relay work in Timer

A Timer Relay is a combination of an
electromechanical output relay and a control
circuit. The contacts will open or close before
or after a pre-selected, timed interval.
 The time delay relay is ready to accept a
trigger. When the trigger is applied,
the time delay (t1) begins. At the end of
the time delay (t1), the output is energized.
When the trigger is removed, the output
contacts remain energized for the time delay
(t2).

Timer setting
In this timer we have lots of settings. The first
one is the program setting. Maximum 50
different programs are set in this timer. Then
the timer has a Date and time setting to set the
date and time. And also another setting is
Keypad lock setting, Holiday setting, Auto
Manual Setting.

1.Before setting the time, the timer

shows their version as shown in the
first image. then click the enter button
to set the current date. For moving us
arrow button. After setting the date
click on PRG Button for the program.
 2.The second step is to set the time. The
process is similar to step first. Set the
current time and program it.after
setting the time to set the current day
for which day alarm is on or off.

3.After entering to set the hour. Like you

want to time in 12hr or 24hr.After this
program setting timer is Configure.

4.Click on PRG Button for ON days

setting in the timer. After the daytime
is on then set an alarm time/Ringing
time of bell (ST).First, it shows a 0.00
time setting.
5. First set the Alarm ON time.eg I set
11.00am is on time for bell. Then set
the close time it means alarm OFF
time.eg.I set 11.01 as off time for the
bell. You can set almost 50 alarms in
this timer.
