Network Bells In A Box – Linortek Netbell Scheduled Bell System
Description
Network Bells In A Box is a complete work shift bell system built around a Linortek Netbell network scheduler. The system is designed to automate shift changes, breaks, and scheduled alerts using network-synchronized timing instead of mechanical timers. The controller connects to an Ethernet network and is programmed through a web browser, allowing schedules to be created or changed without accessing the physical unit.
The package includes a Netbell network bell controller, signal bells, power supply, and installation wiring. The controller activates the bells through internal relay outputs at programmed times. Scheduling is stored inside the controller, allowing the system to operate independently once configured. Network-based scheduling removes time drift and allows adjustments from any authorized computer on the network. The relay-based design allows standard bell devices to be used while keeping timing controlled from a single source. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
This configuration is commonly installed in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, schools, and service environments where schedules change periodically or where multiple areas must follow the same timing reference. The system is often used as a replacement for mechanical bell timers or as a starting point for larger network signaling installations where additional bells or zones may be added later.

FAQ
Does the system require software to operate?
No. Scheduling is handled through a built-in web interface accessed from a browser.
Can schedules be changed remotely?
Yes. Authorized users can adjust schedules from any computer on the same network.
Can additional bells be added later?
Yes. Additional signaling devices can be added using available relay outputs or expansion methods.

This has been going on for years:
People keep asking "How loud are your bells?"
Unfortunately, it's like describing a dinner at a restaurant. It depends on the environment. Is it an empty room like a gymnasium? Does it have lots of rooms, or lots of background noise like a woodworking shop? Is this a warehouse with lots of rows of shelving and boxes of fabric? Will this be outside?
Bells and buzzers all seem to max out at 102db. 102db is very loud.
110db is extremely loud. Painfully loud. Ear-ringing loud.
In our experience, installing 2 to 3 bells or buzzers is much more effective than just one. Put one by the timer, then run wire out the another, half-way across the building, or 100'. It won't be louder, it will just be more likely to be heard above all the background noise.
So, yours truly did some research recently (2016), this is interesting:
Using an Android phone decibel app, this is what we found:
**A bedroom at night in the country, windows closed: 28 - 32 db
**A bedroom at night in the city with the windows closed: 42- 46 db
**Office environment, people chattering: 62db
**American Airlines 737 inside just behind the wing,
where you can see the engine: during takeoff 86db
**Same jet, landing with the reverse thrusters on: 88db That ROAR you hear..
**Same jet, cruising for 3 hours, it's 82 to 86db. That's partially why flying is tiring.
Shop buzzer's: 102db (Edwards, the ones we sell) Other brands "hum" at 82 to 86.
Our bells test out at 98 to 103db depending on voltage When you fly, put napkins in your ears, you will arrive much less "buzzed."
It seems that no one offers anything louder than 102db, unless it goes on a train, ocean liner, or fog horn. In some cases loudspeakers are used on farms; we don't have them, but our equipment will ring them. This is 110db, a train horn on an obnoxious person's pickup truck. In a working environment, this would clearly cause accidents.

More bells or horns does not make it louder, it just makes it more pervasive - easier to hear through the machinery, across the rooms, over the land.

A Fire Station Siren is 106 decibals. Our bells and buzzers are typically 98 to 102.
