3.The cable is rated for a maximum temperature of 221°F (105°C). The cable should be protected from surfaces that exceed this temperature, from physical damage from mov- ing parts, and from chemicals or oil that cause the insula- tion to deteriorate.
4.Avoid sharp bends. The power cable is less flexible in low temperature environments.
5.Route the cable the shortest way possible removing any leftover cable, making sure the cable does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the vehicle.
6.Secure the cable to the vehicle structure at approximately one foot intervals, taking care not to over tighten, pinch con- ductors, or penetrate the insulation.
7.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 20AWG (0.81mm2) conductors.
8.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.
9.Secure the power cable to the Thor VM2 using strain relief cable clamps, and place the Thor VM2 in the dock.
10.If using the Screen Blanking feature, install the screen blanking box or switch. (Refer to the installation instructions that came with the Screen Blanking box, or to the Thor VM2 User’s Guide, available at www.honeywellaidc.com for fur- ther information about the Screen Blanking box.)
