Talos SFD-1000-N2K Motion Lightning Detector
Model: SFD-1000-N2KDesigned for OEM customized applications and boat builds, the SFD-1000-N2K utilizes a proprietary, patent-pending, compact design. The unit connects directly to the NMEA 2000 network, with plug and play connectivity and alerts are seen directly on the multi-functional displays (MFDs).
The TALOS Remote Lightning Detector alerts you to approaching or departing storm fronts and lightning by sensing the distance from the lightning strikes that are occurring in the area. The unit sends alerts via the digital NMEA 2000 network and those alerts show on the boat's multi-functionaldisplays (MFDs). The alerts display the distance at which the lightning was detected. Audible and visual alerts make you aware of potentially life-threatening and electronic equipment damaging lightning, elevating your situation awareness and providing you with time to seek safety.

The Talos SFD-1000-N2K Motion Lightning Detector provides real-time lightning detection for integration into NMEA 2000 networks. This compact, IP-67 waterproof unit is designed for OEM customized applications and boat builds, offering a solution for enhancing situational awareness regarding storm fronts. It detects lightning strikes up to a 25-mile range and communicates alerts directly to multi-functional displays (MFDs) via plug-and-play NMEA 2000 connectivity. The system provides three distinct alert messages indicating storm front distance at 25 NM, 10 NM, and 5 NM, along with an 'All Clear' message after 30 minutes of no lightning activity. Utilizing technology found in weather stations, the SFD-1000-N2K, part number 1428, operates on 6-30 VDC with low power consumption, making it suitable for continuous monitoring in marine and similar environments where early storm detection is critical for safety and equipment protection.
The Talos SFD-1000-N2K connects directly to an NMEA 2000 digital network, offering plug-and-play connectivity. Alerts are displayed on compatible multi-functional displays (MFDs) connected to the same network.
This device is capable of detecting lightning strikes up to a 25-mile range. It provides alerts at 25 NM, 10 NM, and 5 NM distances from the storm front.
The unit operates on an input supply voltage of 6-30 VDC. Power is received directly from the NMEA 2000 CAN bus, with a current draw of 400 micro Amps in listening mode and 4.5mA in detecting mode.
The system provides three different alert messages indicating the distance of the storm front (approaching or departing) at 25 NM, 10 NM, and 5 NM. An 'All Clear' message is also sent after 30 minutes of no lightning strikes.
