How does it work?
 
 

A Player Box sits in front of each player. The bright incandescent lamp is easily seen by moderator and all participants.


The Controller Box sits in front of the moderator and is connected to each player box with a 15-foot cable (extensions are available).

When the first player presses his/her button, the controller box buzzes, the player's module lights and remains lit until the moderator presses the reset button on top of the controller box.

Modules can be arranged
in many configurations!

Two Teams

Three Teams
 

Player Boxes on Desks

 

Versatile!
Three different operating
modes in one system!

Switches on the control console (shown below) allow you to select one of three operating modes.


Select mode with these switch positions:

Examples of who can buzz in.


The question's been asked... it's time for players to buzz in!

Lights on top of the console show
when the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd player buzz in.

Immediately following reset, no one has buzzed in yet and all the indicators are dark.

 

 

The first player has buzzed in! The "first player" light comes on.

Now we're waiting for the second and third players...

 

 

The #2 light comes on when second player buzzes in!

We're still waiting for the third player...

 

 

When the third player buzzes in, the console buzzes and the first player's light comes on to show who was first.

The first module lights...

... and the console show this was the first player!


Want to know who buzzed in second and third?
At any time, you can press the buttons beneath the #1, #2, #3 lights to see who was first, second, and third.

Press Button Two

 

Press Button Three

 

    Player #2's module will light

Player #3's module will light


When you're ready for the next question, press RESET.

All lights will go out and the system
will be ready to identify the first three players.
