A Yes, the Bell Show can be plugged into a standard household duplex 120V electrical outlet.

Q Do I need a power strip/surge protection?
A No, the Bell Show does not require a power strip or surge protection.

It may be more convenient to plug the Bell Show into a power strip since the Bell Show contains 2 power connections (1 for the Light Controller and 1 for the Sound Controller). Plugging the Bell Show into a power strip will also provide a convenient method for turning the Bell Show on and off. Of course, you will also need additional power outlets for the stereo system used to play the music from the Bell Show.

Q Can the Bell Show be placed on a timer?
A Yes, just make sure the timer can handle the electrical requirements of the Bell Show.

Q Can you stop the Bell Show in the middle and start it over?
A Yes, the Bell Show can be started over at anytime by pressing the RESET switch on the Sound Controller.

Q What comes with the Bell Show?
A The Bell Show comes with 12 bell fixtures (2 three bell fixtures, 4 large bell fixtures, and 6 handbell fixtures), a light controller box, a sound controller box, and a cable to connect the light controller box to the sound controller box.

Q Are any additional items needed to complete or install the Bell Show?
A Yes, you will need to provide mounting hardware for the bell fixtures, extension cords to connect the bell fixtures to the light controller, and a audio cable to connect the sound controller to a stereo system.

Q How can the Bell Fixtures be mounted?
A Each of the Bell Fixtures provides a 1/2" mounting hole. The exact type of mounting hardware you will require depends upon your installation.

Q How does the music for the Bell Show get heard?
A There are two options:

1. You can connect the audio output of the Bell Show Sound Controller to a stereo system. The audio output of the Bell Show Sound Controller is an 1/8" phone jack (the same type of jack as normally used for MP3 player headphones or computer speakers). This audio output jack can be connected to a stereo system so that you can hear the music. If your stereo system requires RCA plugs, you will need an adapter to convert the small jack to the RCA plugs. These adapters are available at most electronics stores.

2. You can connect the audio output of the Bell Show Sound Controller to a low power FM transmitter. The FM transmitter will transmit the music from the Bell Show over standard FM channels so that an FM radio (such as a car radio) can recieve the music and play it. Lights In SA sells an optional FM transmitter kit which includes a cable to connect the Bell Show Sound Controller to the FM transmitter.

Q How do I put the Bell Show together?
A Refer to the Bell Show Assembly Instructions (pdf).

Q Can I arrange the Bell Fixtures in a different order than shown in the Bell Show Assembly Instructions?
A Yes you may arrange the Bell Fixtures in any order you like. However, the sequencing of the show was designed with the arrangement shown in the instructions so we recommend using the same arrangement as shown in the instructions.

Q How much space is required for the Bell Show?
A The Three Bell Fixtures are about 20" tall and 39" wide
The Large Bell Fixtures are about 24" tall and 20" wide
The Handbell Fixture are about 24" tall and 15" wide.
