CAUTION - For installation by trained service personnel only.
Use caution when routing the power cable. See Power Cable Cautions (page
Fuse Requirements
WARNING - For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be connected to a fused circuit on the vehicle. If the supply connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in the positive lead within 5 inches of the battery’s positive (+) terminal. The fused circuit requires a maximum time delay (slow blow) fuse with a current rating as noted below.
•For 12VDC input, use a 10A slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage rating greater than 12VDC.
•For 24VDC input, use a 6A slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage rating greater than 24VDC.
•For 36VDC input, use a 4A slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage rating greater than 36VDC.
•For 48VDC input, use a 3A slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage rating greater than 48VDC. Note: For North America, a UL Listed fuse is to be used
Power Cable Identification
The DC power cable (included with the dock) is one of the two styles below:
Power cable with right angle connector and 6 wires:
!Twist the red and red/white wires together and twist the black and black/white wires together before connecting to vehicle power.
Power cable with straight connector and 4 wires:

The Thor VM2 DC input wires (Red, Red/White DC+ and Black, Black/White
1.The Thor VM2 must not be mounted in the Quick Mount Smart Dock. The power switch on the dock must be turned Off. The power cable must be UNPLUGGED from the dock.
2.While observing the Fuse Requirements (see page
3.Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly sized “crimp” type electrical terminals are an accepted method of termination. Please select electrical connectors sized for use with 20AWG (0.81mm2) conductors.
4.Refer to the wiring diagrams following this section for wire colors and connections:
