Sensitivity

Adjust the sensor's detection range from 2m to 16m by turning the reach knob. Turn it fully left for minimum range and fully right for maximum. Set based on location needs.

Time Setting

Choose how long the light stays ON (10 seconds to 12 minutes). Movement restarts the timer. Use the shortest time during setup and walk test for accurate adjustment.

Light Control (LUX) Setting

Set light sensitivity from 2 to 2000 lux. Fully left = night-only mode (2 lux), fully right = day mode. Turn fully right during testing in daylight, then adjust per requirement.

Test Instructions

  1. Turn the LUX knob & SENS knob clockwise on the maximum.
  2. Turn the TIME knob anti-clockwise on the minimum (10s).
  3. When powered on, the light turns on immediately, then switches off after about 10 seconds. After that, the sensor operates normally upon detecting motion.
  4. If additional motion is detected during the initial activation, the timer resets and restarts from that moment.
  5. Turn the LUX knob to the minimum (3) for night-only operation. The sensor will activate the light only when ambient light is below 3 LUX.

How It Works

Discover the simple yet effective way NANO 16 transforms your space

1

Microwave Emission

Emits 5.8GHz microwaves with <0.2mW power, ensuring precise detection.

2

Motion Detection

Detects movement (0.6–1.5m/s) within 360° range, adjustable 2–16m.

3

Smart Response

Activates lights (≤800W incandescent / 300W LED) with 10s–12min delay.

A microwave motion sensor works by emitting high-frequency waves and detecting changes in the reflected signal. When motion occurs within the microwave sensor range, the reflection shifts, triggering a response. Unlike passive sensors, microwave sensors actively scan their surroundings, making them ideal for detecting subtle movement, even through walls or glass.

More Applications

Slide
Parking Areas

Reliable emergency lighting for underground and multi-level parking facilities, ensuring safety in low-light conditions.

Smart Functionality

Experience intuitive control with Nano 16's advanced features designed for modern living

Daylight Function

The hold time is set to 30 seconds, and the Lux level is set to 300. The light turns on when movement is detected and turns off after people leave, specifically at night. Applications include corridors and staircases.

With sufficient daylight (>300 Lux), the light remains off even when motion is detected.

With insufficient daylight (<300 Lux), the light turns on when motion is detected.

After the last detection and the elapse of the current hold time (30 seconds), the light turns off.

No Daylight Function

The daylight threshold is set to 2000 lux to disable the light. It turns on when movement is detected, and after people leave, the light turns off once the hold time of 30 seconds has elapsed. Applications include dimly lit areas such as basement parking and underpasses.

When motion is detected, the sensor will switch the light on to 100% brightness.

After people leave the detection area, the light remains at 100% brightness for the duration of the hold time.

After the last detection and the elapse of the current hold time (30 seconds), the light turns off.

🌓

Knows Sun from Moon

Automatically adjusts between day and night modes based on ambient light levels, ensuring optimal performance in any lighting condition.

🎚️

Dial-in Distance
