Churchill Controls has been a leading supplier of radio telemetry systems for over 30 years.

Our systems mainly use licence-free radio technology to transmit instrumentation data over distances of up to 20Km. The biggest single market is the water industry and we sell to every UK water utility. However, our latest generation of products, designated Mega_Link, can also communicate via the GPRS cellular phone network, telephone land-lines and Ethernet, thus dramatically widening the range of applications.

Within the water industry our equipment is extensively used to pass instrumentation data between reservoirs, flow meters, pumping stations and treatment works.

Other applications include monitoring fire alarm systems, radio networks and security. As well as telemetry systems we also manufacture a range of level measurement instruments, including wave monitors and capacitive level probes

History

From this evolved the need to relay the level readings over telephone lines. Therefore around 1980 Churchill Controls began its history of designing and manufacturing telemetry systems, which quickly became our core business. When the government released a band of licence-free radio channels we were one of the first companies to design a radio telemetry system to use it. We have progressed through a number of generations of telemetry systems, starting with the 10R then through the 20R, 30R, Nano_Link and Micro_Link to our current flagship product, Mega_Link

Technology advances have obsoleted the capacitive level gauge for most applications, but there is still a demand for them in boats, and also for monitoring fuel tank for standby generators, we therefore continue to build and support the MK1 level gauge.
In 1992 the founder, John Churchill, retired and sold the business to NEMCO Ltd, who provide sub-contract services to manufacture electronic assemblies. Although Churchill Controls operates as an autonomous company the strong links with NEMCO provide a very positive support for manufacturing the products.

What We Do

We have design control over all the electronic equipment we offer. We design the hardware and write the software. We then sub-contract the PCB manufacture of to our parent company, NEMCO, who supply us with finished boards that we test and assemble into finished parts. We then assemble systems to satisfy individual customer requirements.
We sell directly and via sales agents and distributors. Our sales agents and distributors are strategically placed to be able to maintain close contacts with our customers and will visit them to demonstrate our products and carry out site surveys. We carefully select them to ensure they have the skills to be able to fully support our products.
We have close contacts with various electrical and mechanical installation companies who are experienced to install our products when required.
We can arrange site visits to commission systems or to help identify any problems that may be experienced.

Customer Support

We firmly believe that our relationship with customers lasts for the lifetime of the products, and doesn’t end when we close the sale. We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer support and are always on hand to give telephone assistance. When a customer has a problem we make every effort to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Quality

We have been operating an ISO 9001 quality system since 2007. This ensures that all our products are of the highest standard and will give a long, trouble-free life.

People

Our key personnel have a wealth of experience in telemetry, radio, sales and technical support.
