3.3 ELECTRONIC REFEREE LIGHT SYSTEM
3.3.1 ELEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM

3.3.2 OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
3.3.2.1 During the course of the competition, as soon as the three (3) referees have judged a lift “Good lift”, they press the white button on their control box. Immediately, the apparatus located in front of the platform gives a simultaneous visual and audible “Down” signal indicating the competitor to replace the barbell on the platform. When the “Down” signal has been given and the "Decision lights” are on and the competitor does not lower the barbell, the centre referee must say “Down” and signal the athlete to lower the barbell.
3.3.2.2 When the three (3) referees judge that the athlete has committed a fault during the execution of a lift, they give a “No lift” decision by pressing the red button on their control box. Immediately, the apparatus in front of the platform gives a simultaneous visual and audible “Down” signal indicating the competitor to replace the barbell on the platform.
3.3.2.3 The visual and audible “Down” signal is given as soon as two of the referees have given identical decisions.
3.3.2.4 Should one of the referees press the white button and another press the red button while the third referee does not press any, the latter hears an
intermittent audible signal coming from the control box urging him to give
his/her decision. Also, when any two (2) white lights or two (2) red lights have been given by two (2) of the three (3) referees and the “Down” signal has been seen and heard, then the third referee is reminded to give his/her
decision by the intermittent audible signal.

Thank you Charles. I rarely, if ever do! (smile).
neutral Jennifer Levey : I think you're right to be cautious with your confidence rating. "control box" in that extract refers to the box with buttons sitting on the judge's desk. But Asker seems more interested in the display panel - the thing that's being "controlled".

Robin, I disagree. The asker used the words, "What is the proper name for the signal box...?". In any event your proposal is exactly what I included as part of the text referring to the overall system. I believe the request is quite explicit.

Electronic Referee Light System

Asker will need to decide whether he is asking about the box with buttons used by each judge, the display seen by the athlete - or the entire system which is called a "Electronic Referee Light System".

neutral Charles Davis : "What is the proper name for the signal box which the judges use for entering their decision?", with white and red buttons: the asker has clearly already decided what he is asking about and could not have made himself more clear.
