P115W-D

Plug & Play

P115W-D pathBlazer application

• Dual Head Lights with 3-pin H4 bulbs or Japanese 2-pin H7 bulbs
• Modulates the HIGH-BEAM synchronized, when selected in daytime
• Maximum load is 100W (14.5 v) rated bulb for each unit
• DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED WATTAGE.
• Warranty coverage will be denied if the unit is damaged from overload.

P115W-D INSTALLATION:

On most models, access to the 3-pin connectors of the headlamp bulbs is possible simply by reaching it from underneath the front fairing or from behind the dash. There is usually a rubber splash cover over the pins of the bulb, which has to be peeled back.

• Install both Master and Slave pathBlazer units on the headlamp bulbs then re-install the pin connectors.
• This unit is for dual Hi-beams, which are connected together, so Master can go on to either side. Insert the 3-wire plug of the Daylight Sensor into the Master unit. Then insert the 1-wire plug of the Sensor harness into the Slave unit.
• If the Synch wire is not connected, the Slave unit WILL NOT OPERATE.
• Next, you should plan on where to mount the daylight Sensor. It can be flush mounted or you can zip-tie it. Please refer to the Instructions on the following pages:
• Choosing the appropriate location for mounting the Daylight Sensor (pg-11)
• Programming Sensitivity Levels (pg-12)
• The Daylight Sensor must be plugged in for the pathBlazer to modulate. This is in accordance with the Sec108 requirement of the Federal DOT Standard.

150GW

SPECIAL VERSION unit:

• This unit plugs in line with the 4-pin connector of the GL1500 headlight housing.
• This plug-in unit is made to drive (2) headlamps together.
• If you have higher-wattage bulbs or if you plan to install them in the future, use a dual-channel P115W-D unit.

Plug & Play

150GW pathBlazer application

• Dual Head Lights with 4-pin harness connector
• Modulates the HIGH-BEAM, when selected in daytime
• Maximum load is 75W (14.5 v) rated for each bulb
• DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED WATTAGE.

Warranty coverage will be denied if the unit is damaged from overload.

150GW INSTALLATION:

1. Remove (2) Phillips screws, which are side view mirth rubber covers of
2. Remove (4) 10mm screws & grille
3. Headlight assembly moves out

Remove the clip and TWIST the 4-pin connector around to plug the pathBlazer in-line. The female socket can only go in one way. Push the connectors in so that they are completely flush, as shown. Feed the Daylight Sensor through the square opening toward the ignition key panel. It can be flush mounted near the Ignition Key. Otherwise, it can be zip-tied.

Refer to the Instructions on the following pages for:

• Choosing the appropriate location for mounting the Daylight Sensor (pg-11)
• Programming Sensitivity Levels (pg-12)

The Daylight Sensor must be plugged-in for the pathBlazer to modulate. This is in accordance with the Sec108 requirement of the Federal DOT Standard.

GL-1500 HI-POWER BULBS:

Install both Master and Slave pathBlazer units on the headlight bulbs then re- install the 3-pin sockets. Insert the connector end of the Synch wire from the Slave unit into the 3rd empty position of the Sensor Plug – as shown for the P115W-D path Blazer. Then plug the Daylight Sensor in the Master Unit. The ‘eye’ of the Daylight Sensor can be flush-mounted or zip-tied.

P115W-D

Heavy-duty dual channel unit plugs directly on the back of each of the headlight bulbs

Gold Wing-1200 INSTALLATION: P115W

• For GL1200 with single-head light bulb assembly, the (3) Step removal procedure is similar to the GL1500. Please refer to the instructions in the 150GW pathBlazer section for removing the chrome facia and unbolting the headlight assembly.
• Installation is simple: Unplug the headlamp, insert pathBlazer, and then re-connect the plug on the 3-pin extension. Next, feed the Daylight Sensor through the opening in the bulkhead toward the left speaker. Daylight Sensors can be flush-mounted or zip-tied.

MOUNTING DAYLIGHT SENSOR:

• Day Light Sensor should be mounted on the dash or fairing. It should not be facing the front of the motorcycle, in order to avoid false triggers at night from on-coming vehicles.
• You can zip-tie the Sensor to a brake cable or a bracket, as long as it receives unobstructed sunlight. The sensing head is sealed to be waterproof.
• You can also choose a permanent mount in fairing or side pockets.

FLUSH MOUNT

1. Chose an appropriate location for the Daylight Sensor – it faces skyward and should receive unobstructed sunlight.
2. Start with a small pilot hole. Finish with a 3/8” -enlarged a little- (10mm) hole.
3. Feed the Sensor from behind the panel.
4. Insert the Split Bushing around the cable, as shown.
5. Move the Bushing up toward the threaded neck of the Sensor.
6. Push the assembly firmly in the hole, until it locks-in – do not pull the cable.

The sensitivity is adjustable for different levels of daylight. Depending on the location you have chosen to mount the Sensor. Or due to seasonal changes in weather conditions, you may want to choose a different level. Instructions are described in more detail on the next page.
Note! Programming of Daylight Sensor’s sensitivity IS NOT REQUIRED. In most cases, the default factory setting will suit the most common riding environment.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

PathBlazer circuitry has a microprocessor with an e2 prom to memorize different settings for the Daylight Sensor. This procedure will set the sensitivity to match the available light at the time you perform it.

1. Find a location or time of the day when you wish to BEGIN modulation You can fine-tune the On/Off triggers from the default setting, as shown above.
2. Turn the ignition ON, then flick the Hi-beam ON (3) times quickly You have to begin this routine in the first 2 seconds after the ignition is turned on
3. The confirmation of the new setting is: Hi-beam flashes 4 times
4. If you don’t get this confirmation, try it once more – a little faster
5. Once set and confirmed by 4 flashes, the new Setting will remain in the permanent memory of the processor. It is not affected even if the battery is disconnected or the pathBlazer unit is unplugged.
6. If you attempt the Sensitivity Adjustment in a very dark setting – beyond the DOT-specified limits – the setting will revert back to the default level. This will be confirmed as the Hi-beam flashes 8 times.

Note! To avoid unintended reprogramming of the Daylight Sensor’s sensitivity, DO NOT start the engine with the hi-beam on.

• During cranking, the battery voltage can drop out and simulate the 3-time ignition on sequence.
