Kisan PathBlazer Headlight Modulator P115W-A2 - Plug-in
BE SEEN! If you're not seen by others around you, you're in trouble.
Most Drivers don't expect to see anything smaller than a car. They may be looking right at you, but a small motorcycle just won't register. With so many automobiles equipped with Daytime Running Lights (DRL) on the road, motorcycles have a hard time standing out.
PathBlazer headlight modulator makes a motorcycle 200% more visible.
P115W-A2 is a plug-in version with Heavy Duty circuitry, which can handle the newer Xenon type bulbs. This is an ETERNALLY mounted unit and does not fit inside the headlight assembly.
P115W-A2 is designed for BMW and other European motorcycles with a 2-pin connector that plugs into the H8 or H9 (88x series is the US equivalent) Hi-beam bulb. Note! The pin spacing is closer than the automotive style 9000 series bulbs.
P115W-A2 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 a p-channel MOSFET, which is inherently safe. The MOSFET is designed to fail in the ON state. For additional safety, the circuit DOES NOT utilize the lo-beam whatsoever!
MAX power rating is 115 watts. DO NOT EXCEED!
P115W-A2 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, which 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 it's 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.
You have complete control.

I have installed my PathBlazer P115W-A2 Headlight Modulator according to the instructions, but it won't modulate. Why?
The PathBlazer P115W-A2 circuit is designed so that the headlight is on even if the PathBlazer is not working. The engine must be on. Check that the daylight sensor is connected properly. Make sure you are in a sufficiently bright daylight area, with the Hi-beam on. The sensitivity of the daylight sensor must be adjusted according to the installation instructions.
Do I have to use the Daylight Sensor that comes with the PathBlazer P115W-A2 Headlight Modulator?
Yes. The Daylight Sensor must be used because it is illegal to modulate your headlight at night.
Where do I mount the Daylight Sensor?
The Daylight Sensor should be mounted on the dash, fairing, or any location where it can face skyward and receive unobstructed sunlight. It should not be facing the front of the motorcycle, in order to avoid false triggers at night from on-coming vehicles. You can also flush mount it right on the headlight housing with the sensor secured so the head is protruding slightly through the grommet. Alternatively, you can zip-tie the Daylight Sensor to a brake cable or a bracket, as long as it receives unobstructed sunlight. The sensor head is waterproof.
