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 distance of lightning).

Where to Mount the Lightning Detector

The lightning detector should be mounted a minimum of 3 feet away from cell phones, wearables, or any other devices emitting electrical noise to avoid false positive signals. If the detector goes through a sequence of all colors, this indicates that it is detecting electrical noise interference.

Battery Instructions & Installation

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.

TALOS Remote Ready-to-Install Lightning Detector

We also offer a remote solution that can be installed in a rocker switch knockout or into a 3/4″ mounting hole. The remote version features:

• Clean Appearance
• Permanent, Space Saving Design
• Real Time Lightning Visual & Audible Alerts

Highly versatile for permanent installations, the TALOS remote system is the answer to providing lightning awareness for all types of golf carts.

*Although the remote lightning detector is designed primarily for oems, end users can purchase and install themselves.
