Standard Lightning Detector with 18"x24" Safety Information Sign

Don’t be caught off guard while enjoying your leisure time at the pool. The TALOS® safety sign with the attached lightning detector is a great addition to community and at-home swimming pools. When mounted, swimmers can easily see lightning alerts and instantly know the distance of the lightning.

Choose from two convenient operation methods: battery-operated or wired. The battery-operated detector is a quick and easy setup; just install 4 AA batteries and it’s ready to go. The wired device includes a DC power supply that plugs directly into any wall outlet and eliminates the need to change out batteries.

Mounting the Device:

Mount the sign a minimum of 3 feet away from any devices emitting electrical noise to avoid false positive signals. The sign can be placed on any nonmetallic flat service.

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).

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.
