SENS refers to the diameter of the detection zone, which is roughly circular, produced on the ground when the sensor is mounted at a height of 2.5 to 6 meters. Turn the SENS control fully counterclockwise to select the minimum SENS (approximately 2 meters in diameter) and fully clockwise to select the maximum SENS (approximately 16 meters in diameter). Adjust according to location and site requirements
The light can be set to stay on for any period of time between approximately 10 seconds (turn fully counterclockwise) and a maximum of 12 minutes (turn fully clockwise). Any movement detected before this time elapses will restart the timer. It is recommended to select the shortest duration necessary for your needs.
The chosen light response threshold can be adjusted from approximately 3 to 2000 lux. Turn the knob fully counterclockwise to select dusk-to-dawn operation at about 3 lux, and fully clockwise for continuous daylight operation. The knob must be turned fully clockwise when adjusting the detection zone and performing the walk test in daylight. Afterward, adjust the setting according to site requirements. Allow sufficient time for adjusting the detection zone and for performing the walk test.
Nano F16 is a compact microwave motion sensor designed for intelligent lighting control in demanding environments. It turns lights ON when movement is detected and automatically switches them OFF after the set delay, saving energy while keeping critical areas safely illuminated.
Discover the simple yet effective way NANO 16 transforms your space
Emits 5.8GHz microwaves with <0.2mW power, ensuring precise detection.
Detects movement (0.6–1.5m/s) within 360° range, adjustable 2–16m.
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.

Discover how the Nano F16 Microwave Motion Sensor automates lighting across common circulation areas with reliable detection and energy-efficient operation.
Maintain bright, safe corridors only while they are in use. Nano F16 detects people entering the passage and ensures continuous light until the area is empty, improving safety and reducing unnecessary burning hours.
Eliminate dark stairwells without keeping the lights on 24/7. Nano F16 switches lighting ON as soon as motion is detected on the stairs and turns it OFF after the configured hold time.
Perfect for covered and basement parking zones where natural light is limited. The sensor activates lighting for vehicles and pedestrians and automatically switches it off once movement stops.
Increase comfort and visibility in underpasses, ramps and enclosed walkways. Nano F16 offers stable microwave sensing that responds quickly to approaching users, even in low-light environments.
Reliable emergency lighting for underground and multi-level parking facilities, ensuring safety in low-light conditions.
Experience intuitive lighting control with Nano F16’s advanced sensing modes and adjustable settings.
In Daylight mode, Nano F16 only turns lights ON when both conditions are met: motion is detected and the ambient light level is below the set lux threshold. This prevents lights from switching on unnecessarily in naturally bright spaces such as corridors with windows or staircases with skylights.
When there is enough natural light, the sensor keeps the light OFF even if motion is detected.
When the ambient light falls below the set level and the sensor detects movement, the light switches ON automatically.
Once motion stops, the light remains ON for the selected hold time and then switches OFF automatically.
In No Daylight mode, Nano F16 ignores the ambient light level and responds purely to motion. This mode is ideal for consistently dim or enclosed areas such as basement parking, internal corridors, and underpasses where lights must always come on whenever movement is detected.
As soon as a person or vehicle enters the detection zone, the sensor switches the light ON to full brightness.
As long as motion continues, the light stays ON, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.
After the last detection and expiry of the configured hold time, the light turns OFF automatically.
Nano F16 can differentiate between day and night using its built-in light sensing. It automatically adjusts operation based on ambient lux levels, ensuring lights are used only when they’re actually needed.
Set the detection range to suit the space. Nano F16 allows fine adjustment of sensitivity so that motion is detected only within the desired area, helping avoid false triggers from adjacent zones.
Smart re-triggering means the timer resets whenever new motion is detected. Lights remain ON continuously while people are present, providing uninterrupted illumination during peak activity.
Choose how long the lights stay ON after the last detection. The adjustable hold time lets you match sensor behaviour to the application, from quick shut-off for short passages to longer delays for high-traffic areas.
