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 TIME knob anti-clockwise on the minimum (10s). Turn the LUX knob clockwise on the maximum (sun).
  2. Switch on the power; the sensor and it connected lamp will have no signal at the beginning. After Warm-up 30sec,
    the sensor start work. If the sensor receives the induction signal, the lamp will turn on. While there is no another
    induction signal any more, the load should stop working within 10sec+ 3sec and the lamp would turn off.
  3. Turn LUX knob anti-clockwise on the minimum (3). If the ambient light is more than 3LUX. the sensor would not work
    and the lamp stop working too If the ambient light is less than LUX (darkness, the sensor would work. Under no
    induction signal condition, the sensor should stop working within 10sec+3sec.

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.

Why Choose NANO 16?

Advanced technology meets practical design for superior motion detection

Microwave Motion Sensor

Advanced 5.8 GHz technology for reliable motion detection through walls and doors

Applications

Discover how the IRIS F8 PIR Presence Sensor brings intelligent, 360° lighting control to compact work and circulation spaces

Commercial Offices & Workfloors

Automate lighting in private cabins, small offices and focus rooms. IRIS F8 senses human movement within its 360° field, turning lights ON as soon as someone enters and switching them OFF after the room is vacant for the set delay.

Washrooms & Toilet

Ensure hands-free, hygienic operation in common and premium washrooms. IRIS F8 activates lights automatically when a user enters and turns them OFF after they leave, so fixtures are never left ON all day by mistake.

Corridors & Passages

Maintain safe, well-lit corridors only while they’re actually in use. Mounted in the ceiling, IRIS F8 watches over the passage, bringing lights ON during movement and allowing them to switch OFF once the area is empty.

Premium Washrooms & Hotels

Create a smooth experience in smaller meeting and training rooms. IRIS F8 keeps lights ON throughout sessions while it detects motion and automatically switches them OFF after the configured hold time once everyone leaves.

More Applications

Slide
Parking Areas

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

Smart Functionality

Experience responsive, presence-based lighting with IRIS F8’s 360° PIR sensing and adjustable time and daylight settings.

Daylight Function

In Daylight mode, IRIS F8 only turns lights ON when both conditions are met: the sensor detects motion and the ambient light level is below the selected lux threshold. This prevents lights from switching on in naturally bright spaces such as window-side offices, bright corridors or washrooms that receive daylight

Sufficient daylight

When there is enough natural light, the sensor keeps the light OFF even if motion is detected, avoiding unnecessary energy use.

Low daylight with motion

When the room becomes dim and IRIS F8 detects movement, it switches the connected lights ON automatically for comfortable visibility.

After people leave

Once motion stops, the light stays ON for the chosen hold time and then turns OFF automatically, ready for the next occupancy event.

No Daylight Function

In No Daylight mode, IRIS F8 ignores ambient light and works purely on presence detection. This mode is ideal for enclosed or consistently dim zones such as internal washrooms, passages and cabins where lights should always come on whenever movement is detected.

Motion detected

As soon as a person enters the 360° detection area, the PIR sensor responds to body heat and switches the lights ON to full brightness.

Area still occupied

As long as movement is detected within the field, IRIS F8 keeps the lights ON, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment

No motion detected

After the last detected movement and once the configured hold time expires, the lights switch OFF automatically to save energy.

🌓

Knows Sun from Moon

IRIS F8 has an adjustable daylight (lux) threshold so you can choose at what brightness level the sensor should start responding. This ensures artificial lighting is used only when natural light is no longer sufficient.

🎚️

Dial-in Distance

Optimise the detection area for each room. IRIS F8 offers adjustable sensitivity so you can fine-tune how far into the space it should react, helping avoid false triggers from neighbouring corridors or open doors.

⏱️

Stays On When Busy

Every new movement resets the internal timer. Lights remain ON continuously while people are moving or working within the detection zone, preventing unwanted switch-offs during active use.

You Set the Timeout

Select how long the lights stay ON after the last motion—ranging from a short delay for washrooms and corridors to longer timings for cabins and meeting rooms. This lets you align sensor behaviour with the function of each space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about IRIS F8

What is IRIS F8?

 IRIS F8 is a compact, ceiling-recessed PIR (Passive Infrared) presence sensor designed for automatic lighting control in small and medium indoor spaces. It detects human movement within a 360° field, turns lights ON when someone enters and switches them OFF after a preset delay, improving both safety and energy efficiency.

What is the detection range of IRIS F8?

 IRIS F8 is designed for typical room and corridor heights and provides 360° coverage for small to mid-sized areas. The effective range depends on mounting height, room layout and sensitivity setting, generally covering up to around 8 metres in diameter in standard installations. For exact values, refer to the IRIS F8 technical data sheet.

Is IRIS F8 compatible with all types of lights?

 IRIS F8 can be used with most commonly installed lighting fixtures when wired according to the connection diagram—such as LED luminaires with suitable drivers and other loads within the sensor’s rated output. Always verify compatibility and load ratings with the luminaire manufacturer or a qualified electrician

How is IRIS F8 installed?

 IRIS F8 is a ceiling-recessed sensor, fitted into a cut-out in a false ceiling or similar surface so that only the front bezel is visible. Once mounted at the recommended height, it provides 360° PIR coverage below. Follow the cut-out size, wiring instructions and safety guidelines given in the installation manual.

Does IRIS F8 have adjustable settings?

 Yes. IRIS F8 includes adjustable parameters such as detection sensitivity, hold time (delay) and daylight (lux) threshold. These settings allow you to fine-tune how quickly lights switch OFF and under what light conditions they should turn ON, depending on the type and usage of the room.

Where can IRIS F8 be used?

 IRIS F8 is ideal for indoor spaces that benefit from presence-based lighting control, including small offices, cabins, meeting rooms, washrooms and toilets, corridors, lift lobbies, study rooms and similar compact areas in both commercial and residential projects.
