The Talos SFD-1824P-MTB is a professional-grade lightning detection system designed for swimming pools, recreational facilities, and outdoor venues. This complete safety solution combines an advanced lightning detector with a highly visible 18" x 24" safety information sign to alert swimmers and staff of approaching storms up to 25 miles away.
Advanced Lightning Detection Technology:
Utilizing the same electromagnetic detection technology found in professional weather stations, the Talos detector provides real-time storm tracking with both visual and audible alerts. When lightning is first detected, all 8 LEDs flash for 5 minutes, then switch to an energy-saving mode while continuing to monitor storm distance and movement.
Three-Tier Distance Alert System:
- Green LED / 1 Beep: Lightning detected at 25 miles (early warning)
- Blue LED / 2 Beeps: Lightning detected at 16 miles (increased caution)
- Red LED / 3 Beeps: Lightning detected at 6 miles (immediate danger zone)
Key Features:
- Detects lightning strikes up to 25 miles away
- Durable UV-resistant PVC sign construction (18" x 24")
- Waterproof design for all-weather operation
- Bright LED visual alerts visible from a distance
- Loud audible beep pattern indicates storm distance
- Battery-operated (requires 4 AA batteries, not included)
- Optional wired DC power supply available for permanent installations
- Low battery indicator (double beep/flash every 10 seconds)
Installation Guidelines:
Mount the sign on any non-metallic flat surface at least 3 feet away from electrical devices to prevent false positive detections. The system can be battery-operated for portable applications or hardwired with an optional DC power supply for permanent installations.
Package Includes:
- Talos lightning detection device
- Mounting base hardware
- 18" x 24" safety information sign

Important Maintenance Note:
Replace batteries immediately when the low battery alert activates (double beep and flash every 10 seconds). Remove batteries before storing the detector during off-season to prevent corrosion and battery damage.
