6.Connect the ground (green) wire from the Thor VM2 to the GND terminal on the input side of the DC/DC power supply.
7.Route the wiring from the DC/DC power supply to the vehicle’s electrical system. Do not connect to vehicle power at this time.
8.Strip the wire ends and connect to the input side of the DC/DC power supply.
9.Use looms and wire ties to secure all wiring as shown.
10.Reattach the cover with the screws.
11.Connect the DC/DC power supply to the vehicle’s electrical system as directed below:
!For battery powered vehicles:
VIN+ is connected to battery positive.
ViN- must be connected to battery negative.
GND must be connected to the vehicle chassis ground.
For internal combustion engine powered vehicles: VIN+ is connected to battery positive.
ViN- is connected to battery negative.
GND is connected to the vehicle chassis ground, which can also be battery negative.
12.While observing the Fuse Requirements (see page
ATTENTION: For uninterrupted power, electrical supply connections should not be made at any point after the ignition switch of the vehicle.
13.Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly sized “crimp” type electrical terminals are an accepted method of termination. Select electrical connectors sized for use with 18AWG (1mm2) conductors.
14.Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at approximately one foot inter- vals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or penetrate the outer cable jacket.
15.Connect the watertight connector end of the power cable to the Thor VM2 Quick Mount Smart Dock power connector by aligning the connector pins to the power connector; push down on the watertight connector and twist it to fasten securely.Flip the power switch on the back of the dock to On.
16.Secure the power cable to the Thor VM2 using the Strain Relief Cable Clamps (page
17.Place Thor VM2 in the Dock (page
18.If using the Screen Blanking (page
19.Press the Power Switch (page
20.Press the Power Button (page
Once installation is complete, remember to start the Thor VM2 and select the desired Power Configuration Mode to enable
