Time Setting

The light can be set to stay ON for any time between approximately 10 seconds(turn TIME knob fully anti-clockwise) and a maximum of 30 minutes(turn TIME knob fully clockwise). Any movement detected before this time elapses will reset the timer. You can adjust it according to locations and site requirements. It is recommended to select the shortest time to adjust the detection zone and perform the walk test.

Light Control (LUX) Setting

The chosen light response threshold can be adjusted from approximately 3-2000LUX.Turn it fully anti-clockwise to select the dusk-to-dawn operation and turn it fully clockwise to select continuous daylight operation. You can adjust it according to locations and site requirements. The knob must be turned fully clockwise when adjusting the detection zone and performing the walk test in daylight.

Test Instructions

  1. Turn the TIME knob anti-clockwise to the minimum (10s), and then turn the LUX knob clockwise to the maximum (sun).
  2.  After the power switches on, the sensor and its connected lam will have no signal at the beginning. After a warmup
    of 30 sec the sensor starts working, and the lamp will turn on if the sensor receives the induction signal. If there is no
    induction signal, the load should stop working within 10sec $ 3sec, and the lamp would turn off.
  3. Turn the LUX knob anti-clockwise on the minimum (3). If the ambient light is more than 3LUX, the sensor will not work,
    and the lamp would stop working too. The sensor will work if the ambient light is less than 3 LUX (darkness). Under no
    induction signal condition, the sensor should stop working within 10sec + 3sec.

Long-Range Corridor Control with IRIS S20

IRIS S20 is a 360° ceiling-mounted PIR motion sensor engineered for long corridors and passages. With up to 20 m detection distance and a narrow, corridor-friendly coverage pattern, it turns lights ON the moment someone enters the zone and switches them OFF after the set delay. Adjustable daylight (3–2000 lux) and time (10 seconds to 30 minutes) settings let you fine-tune operation for safe, efficient lighting in indoor circulation areas

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.

Applications

Discover how the IRIS S20 PIR Motion Sensor automates lighting in long, high corridors and indoor passages with 360° ceiling coverage and up to 20 m reach.

High Rise Building_Motion Sensor

Long Corridors & Passages

Built specifically for corridor and passage applications, IRIS S20 creates a long, narrow detection field along the length of the hallway. It switches lighting ON as people walk through and keeps escape paths clearly visible, then turns lights OFF after the corridor becomes empty.

hospitals_motion sensor

Institutional & Office Corridors

Perfect for office, school, hospital and institutional corridors that see frequent movement throughout the day. The 360° ceiling-mounted sensor responds quickly to people entering from any direction, ensuring safe circulation without burning lights 24/7

hotels_motion sensor

High-Ceiling Walkways & Atriums

With an installation height of 4–10 m, IRIS S20 works reliably in tall walkways, internal atriums and gallery-type corridors. It maintains comfortable light levels during activity and allows luminaires to switch OFF automatically when the space is vacant.

office_motion sensor

Service Corridors & Back-of-House Routes

Ideal for long service corridors, back passages and support areas that don’t need permanent lighting. IRIS S20 detects movement of staff along the route, bringing lights ON only when required and significantly reducing burning hours and maintenance costs.

More Applications

Slide
Parking Areas

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

Smart Functionality

Experience intelligent, long-distance presence detection with IRIS S20’s 360° PIR sensor head, adjustable lux and time delay controls.

Daylight Function

In Daylight mode, IRIS S20 only turns lights ON when the sensor detects motion and the ambient light level is below the selected threshold (adjustable from about 3 to 2000 lux). This prevents corridor lighting from switching on unnecessarily when there is enough natural or background light already present.

lux setting-Motion Sensor

Sufficient daylight

When the corridor or passage is already bright, the sensor keeps the load OFF even if people are moving, avoiding wasted energy.

lux setting night-Motion Sensor

Low daylight with motion

As soon as the light level drops below the chosen lux setting and IRIS S20 detects movement, the lights switch ON automatically to maintain safe visibility.

Detection-Motion Sensor

After people leave

Once traffic stops, the lights stay ON for the selected hold time (from around 10 seconds up to 30 minutes) and then switch OFF automatically

No Daylight Function

In No Daylight mode, IRIS S20 ignores ambient light and operates purely on presence detection. This is ideal for internal corridors, back passages or low-light routes where lights must always respond to occupancy, regardless of day or night.

motion detection_sensionva

Motion detected

When a person enters the 360° detection field beneath the ceiling-mounted sensor, IRIS S20 senses their infrared movement and switches the lights ON immediately.

motion detection_sensionva

Area still occupied

As long as people continue moving within the corridor or passage, the sensor keeps the lighting ON, ensuring consistent illumination.

Detection-Motion Sensor

No motion detected

After the last detection and once the configured delay period expires, the lighting turns OFF automatically to save energy and prolong lamp life.

🌓

Knows Sun from Moon

IRIS S20 includes an adjustable daylight sensor from about 3 to 2000 lux, so you can decide under what ambient light conditions the sensor should respond. This ensures artificial lighting is only used when corridor light levels are genuinely low

🎚️

Dial-in Distance

Optimised for up to 20 m corridor detection, IRIS S20 lets you adjust sensitivity so the sensor covers just the intended length and width of the passage. This helps avoid unwanted triggers from side rooms or distant movement outside the target path

⏱️

Stays On When Busy

Every time the PIR detects new movement, the internal timer resets. Lights remain ON for the entire duration of activity—whether people are walking continuously, moving equipment or making frequent trips along the corridor

You Set the Timeout

IRIS S20 offers a wide hold-time range, from approximately 10 seconds up to 30 minutes. This allows you to configure shorter delays for low-traffic passages or longer durations for main circulation routes that need extended illumination after each use
