P115W-A2W is a plug-in version
with Heavy Duty circuitry, which can handle
the newer Xenon type bulbs. This unit is
EXTERNALLY mounted.
P115W-A2W is designed for Harley
Sprotster (earlier models), some Japanese
sport bikes and other European scooters with
a 2-pin connector that plugs into the 9000
series Hi-beam bulb. Typically these bulbs
have elbow connector.
Note! The pin spacing is wider than the
H8/H9 series bulbs. Use P115W-A2
for that application.
Unit is 1.0" (25.4mm) by 1.35" (34.4mm), and
externally mounted. The matching 2-pin
connector makes this a plug-n-play
operation.
pathBlazer circuit modulates
the hi-beam current - from 100% ON to about
17% OFF. This is accomplished by using dual
p-channel MOSFETs, which are inherently
safe. The MOSFET is designed to fail in the
ON state. For additional safety, the
circuits DO NOT utilize the lo-beam
whatsoever!
MAX power rating is 115 watts. DO NOT
EXCEED!
P115W-A2W comes with a detachable
daylight sensor, which simply plugs into the
pathBlazer. The daylight
sensor functions as a switch; it stops
modulation when it cannot see enough
daylight. Since the internal circuitry is
controlled by a microprocessor, it allows
for customizable features.
Programmable Daylight Sensor
If you turn the high beam on and then turn
the ignition on three times quickly, the
sequence is interpreted as an active command
to change the sensitivity.
Current software version v.823A allows 8
linear steps between the high and low end.
Older models have two settings only.
The daylight sensor has a low frequency
filter to avoid false triggering. Please
note that florescent lamps may not trigger
the sensor - it needs constant incandescent
light.
pathBlazer uses a
soft-switching technique. It throttles the
current flow through the bulb filament, so
that there's no "thermal shock" due to a
sudden inrush of current, which can damage
the bulb filament or shorten its life
considerably. This is far superior than
maintaining a small voltage!
Select hi-beam to modulate - as long as
there's sufficient daylight. If you enter a
tunnel or if it gets dark, it will stop the
modulation of the hi-beam and stay ON
steady. Select lo-beam to end modulation.
