Adapter Cables

This section assumes the VX6/VX7 or Thor VX8/VX9 power cable is properly connected to vehicle power. Refer to the appropriate Vehicle Mounting Reference Guide for details.

Note: For high voltage forklifts (over 60V), refer to the “DC/DC Power Supply Installation Instructions,” available at www.honeywellaidc.com.

VX6/VX7 Adapter Cable

!CAUTION - Because the Thor supports 10-60 VDC power input, verify input voltages before using this adapter cable with an existing VX6 or VX7 power con- nection installation.

This adapter cable is available to attach the Thor VM2 to a vehicle previously equipped with a VX6/VX7 DC power cable. When this adapter cable is used, there is no provision for an ignition switch input. Therefore the vehicle ignition monitoring function is not available when using this cable.

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.Connect the cable to the Thor VM2 power cable by aligning the connector pins to the power connector; push down on the watertight connector and twist it to fasten securely.

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. Route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the vehi- cle.
