Marine Safety - Lightning Detectors

Standard Lightning Detector for Pools & Spas with Mounting BaseEnjoy your leisure time at the pool while knowing the TALOS pool lightning detector will keep you aware of approaching lightning or storms. Lightning commonly strikes water, and since water conducts electricity, a nearby lightning strike could kill or seriously injure a swimmer. Don’t be caught off guard while having fun in the pool, spa, or hot tub!Mounting the Device:Mount the lightning detector a minimum of 3 feet away from cell phones, wearables, or other devices emitting electrical noise. The detector will go through a sequence of all colors when it detects electrical noise interference. If this happens, relocate the detector.How it Works:When lightning is first detected (up to 25 miles), the detector will flash all 8 LEDs for 5 minutes. To save battery life, after 5 minutes of lightning detection, the detector switches to blinking every other LED for the remaining time that lightning is detected (red, blue, or green depending on the distance of the lightning).Features: Up to 25 miles range Waterproof The BRIGHTEST visual alerts: 3 colors to indicate the distance of approaching or departing storms Green: 25 miles Blue: 16 miles Red:  6 miles The LOUDEST audible alerts 1 beep for Green: 25 miles 2 beeps for Blue: 16 miles 3 beeps for Red: 6 miles Compact design The same technology is used in weather stations Long battery life (1 Year based on average usage) Battery powered: requires 4 AA batteries (lithium recommended) In the Box: TALOS Lightning Detection Device Mounting Base User Guide Note: It is necessary to replace batteries as soon as the lightning detector indicates the batteries are almost dead. The detector will beep and flash the LED twice indicating that batteries need to be replaced. This alert is given every 10 seconds. If you are not using the lightning detector, make sure you remove the batteries prior to storing the detector. Owner's Manual (pdf)Brochure (pdf)

Keeping the TALOS®  lightning detector on board will keep you aware when lightning is in the area.Mounting the Device:The lightning detector detects low-level signals from lightning and must be mounted a minimum of 3 feet away from cell phones, wearables, or any other devices emitting electrical noise. If the detector goes through a sequence of all colors, this indicates that it is detecting electrical noise.How it Works:When lightning is first detected (up to 25 miles), the detector will flash all 8 LEDs for 5 minutes. To save battery life, after 5 minutes of lightning detection, the detector switches to blinking every other LED for the remaining time that lightning is detected (red, blue, or green depending on the distance of the lightning).Features: Alerts up to 25-mile range The BRIGHTEST visual alerts: 3 colors to indicate the distance of approaching or departing storms Green: 25 miles Blue: 16 miles Red:  6 miles The LOUDEST audible alerts 1 beep for Green: 25 miles 2 beeps for Blue: 16 miles 3 beeps for Red: 6 miles Compact design Auto sleep functionality** 1-year battery life (*based on average usage) Antenna auto tuning – increases efficiency The same technology is used in expensive weather stations Battery powered: requires 4 AA batteries (lithium recommended) **When the unit is first turned on, the unit is in “Normal Mode” and will actively listen for lightning/storm activity. Pressing the ON button a second time puts the unit into auto-sleep mode. In this mode, the detector will sleep until motion is detected, then it will turn on. If no motion is detected for 30 minutes, the unit goes back to sleep.
