|
The electronic clapper, is an electronic hammer, which replaces the clapper for stationary bells, such as in the ringing of the hour or for electric carillons. It is a ball made of soft steel or iron, calibrated to the weight of the bell. This ball is mounted onto a steel arm and plate; the whole is fixed onto a pivoting axe. An electronic clapper can be mounted on the interior or exterior of a bell. If the bell tower is protected by louvers, we advise fitting the electronic clapper onto the exterior of the bell. However, if the bell is visible (from a window or an outdoor belfry) we recommend an interior installation as it guarantees better protection for the electronic clapper against weather conditions as well as look better. |
