Reach is the term used to describe the diameter of the more or less circular detection zone produced on the ground after mounting the sensor at a height of 2.5 to m. Turn the reach control fully anti-clockwise to select minimum reach(approx. 2m dia), and fully clockwise to select maximum reach(approx. 16m dia). Adjust according to locations and site requirements.
The light can be set to stay ON for any period of time between approx. 10sec(turn fully anticlockwise) and a maximum of 12min(turn fully clockwise). Any movement detected before this time elapse will re-start the timer. It is recommended to select the shortest time for adjusting the detection zone and for performing the walk test.
The chosen light response threshold can be adjusted from approx. 2-2000 lux. Turn it fully anti-clockwise to select dusk-to-dawn operation at about 2 lux. Turn it fully clockwise to select continuous daylight operation. The knob must be turned fully clockwise when adjusting the detection zone and performing the walk test in daylight, then adjust setting according to site requirement.

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 W12 Microwave Motion Sensor transforms lighting control across diverse environments with superior detection and energy efficiency
Maintain bright, safe corridors only while they are in use. Nano W12 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 W12 switches lighting ON as soon as motion is detected on the stairs and turns it OFF after the configured hold time.
Ideal for wall-mounted positions at basement approaches and parking entrances 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 W12 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 control with Nano W12's advanced features designed for modern living
In Daylight mode, Nano W12 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 W12 ignores the ambient light level and responds purely to motion. This mode is ideal for consistently dim or enclosed areas such as internal corridors, basement approaches, and underpasses where lights must always come on whenever movement is detected.
As soon as a person 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 W12 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 W12 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.
Find answers to common questions about NANO W12
Nano W12 is a compact wall-mount microwave motion sensor designed for automatic lighting control in circulation spaces. It detects movement using high-frequency microwave technology and turns lights ON when motion is present and OFF after a preset delay, improving both safety and energy efficiency.
Nano W12 offers a wide detection area suitable for corridors, staircases, entrances and similar spaces. The actual range depends on mounting height, installation position, and sensitivity settings. For exact values, please refer to the Nano W12 technical data sheet supplied with the product.
Nano W12 can be used with most commonly used lighting fixtures when wired according to the instructions—such as LED luminaires with suitable drivers and other compatible loads within the sensor’s rated output. Always verify compatibility with the luminaire manufacturer or your electrician.
Yes. Nano W12 is primarily designed for wall mounting, but it can also be installed on ceilings or other suitable mounting surfaces where the detection pattern matches the application. Correct mounting height and orientation are important for optimal performance; follow the installation guide provided with the sensor.
Yes. Nano W12 includes adjustable parameters such as detection sensitivity, hold time (delay), and daylight/No Daylight operating modes. These settings allow you to fine-tune the sensor for different room sizes and lighting requirements
Nano W12 is ideal for circulation and transition areas including corridors, staircases, lobbies, entrances, basement approaches, underpasses, and similar spaces where automatic, presence-based lighting control is required.
