What decides the cost of an automatic school bell
An automatic bell has two parts: a timer controller that holds your timetable, and one or more sounders (gong bells or a hooter) that it switches on at each set time. The controller is a one-time cost. The rest of the budget depends on how big the campus is and how many bells it takes for every classroom and the ground to hear the ring. If you want the background on how these systems work, our automatic school bell systems guide explains it; this page is about what each part costs today.

Hooters for large campuses
When the bell must reach a playground, hostel or a factory yard, add a hooter on the same controller output. Two that suit the ASBS-01's 220V output:
- SR-1K 220V Industrial Electronic Siren, 1 km sound: ₹3,000. The listing says it is not weatherproof, should be used in a covered area, and should not play continuously for more than 5–10 seconds, which suits a short period bell.
- SR-15k Single Phase Hooter, listed as 1.5 km range: ₹3,999. Keep it protected from water.
For every hooter we stock, with range and price, see the industrial hooter price guide.
What moves the price
- Controller type. The ASBS-01 at ₹2,899 covers most schools. The ASBS-MP3 at ₹12,000 is only worth it if you want recorded tones, music or voice instead of a gong.
- Number of bells. Each extra corridor or wing adds ₹499 to ₹1,050 for a bell, plus cable. A two-floor school usually needs at least one bell per floor.
- Bell or hooter. A hooter costs ₹3,000 to ₹3,999 but covers open ground that several bells cannot. Many schools use corridor bells plus one hooter.
- Kit or separate. Compare before you buy: the ASBS-01 and GBL-12 bought separately total ₹3,949, and the ASBS-01 with an SR-1K separately totals ₹5,899.
- Wiring and labour. Cable, conduit and an electrician's time are extra. The ASBS-01 switches 220V AC devices and the GBL-09 listing states 220V; for the other bell sizes the voltage is not on the product page, so confirm with us before ordering.
Which one for your school
- Coaching centre or single-floor school: ASBS-01 (₹2,899) with a GBL-04 or GBL-06 bell: ₹3,398 to ₹3,498.
- Two-floor school: ASBS-01 with two GBL-09 bells, one per floor: ₹4,599 before cable.
- School with a playground or a college: Combo-CN225 with the 1 km hooter (₹5,999), plus corridor bells as needed.
- Factory shift bell: ASBS-01 with a GBL-12 for the shop floor, or with the SR-15k hooter for the yard (₹6,898 bought separately).
- Want recorded tones: ASBS-MP3 (₹12,000).
- No timer, just ring from the office: Combo-CN38 remote bell (₹2,999).

Does the school bell timer keep time during a power cut?
The ASBS-01 listing says no external battery is needed to maintain the clock and stored programme. The bells themselves run on 220V, so they will not ring without mains or inverter power.
Can I connect a hooter instead of a bell?

Which gong bell size should I buy?
A 4 or 6 inch bell suits an office or a short corridor. For a large school block or factory floor, choose the GBL-09 or the 12-inch GBL-12, and add one bell per floor or wing.
Can I set a different timetable for exams or holidays?
The ASBS-01 has a separate examination mode and a weekly off setting. For one-off holidays, switch the mode or turn the output off on that day.
