SFD-1414P-MTB - Talos Standard Lightning Detector w/14"x14" Safety Information Sign

Standard Lightning Detector with 14"x14" Safety Information Sign

The 14″ x 14″ TALOS Safety Sign Kit informs guests of dangerous lightning in the surrounding area with easy-to-read details. When the attached device starts flashing from one color to the next, guests can be made aware in real time that lightning is close enough to strike their location.

Perfect for public areas such as restaurants with outdoor seating, community parks, and playgrounds, areas suited for large event gatherings, outdoor tiki huts, & more. The battery-operated detector is a quick and easy setup; just install 4 AA batteries and it’s ready to go!

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.
