P115W-A6 is a plug-in version for
BMWs with an AMP 6-pin connector of the
headlight housing, which is accessible at
the back of the housing. This is an
EXTERNALLY mounted unit and does not fit
inside the headlight assembly.
P115W-A6 is a plug-in unit for BMW
R1200R, R1200RT, K1200GT and R1200RS models.
It modulates hi-beam bulbs - one or two
depending on the multiple bulb arrangement
of headlights. This is heavy-duty version
with dual MOSFETs.
■ For CAN-bus
BMWs, choose "Z" version below.
The unit is 1.0"(25.4mm) by 1.35" (34.4mm),
and externally mounted. The matching adapter
for the AMP 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 a
p-channel MOSFET, which is 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-A6 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.
Software version v.823A allows 8 linear
steps between the high and low end.
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.
