Model: 1513If you frequently spend time out on the water on your boat, jet ski, or kayak, then you need to learn about the TALOS lightning detector for boats and watercraft. Set sail and leave your worries behind knowing the TALOS lightning detector is on hand tracking when potentially dangerous lightning is in the area.
The TALOS lightning detector for boats and watercraft alerts users of lightning strikes up to 25 miles away from a storm. If your boat or watercraft is the only one in the vicinity when lightning strikes, the odds of being struck go way up. Most strikes occur between noon and 6 pm. Keeping the TALOS(R) lightning detector on board, will keep you aware when lightning is in the area.
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 distance of lightning).
