3.Connect the green wire to vehicle ground:
!For battery powered vehicles:
The green wire must be connected to the vehicle chassis ground.
For internal combustion engine powered vehicles: The green wire is connected to the vehicle chassis ground, which can also be battery negative.
4.If ignition control will be used, connect the blue wire to an ignition switched circuit (less than 1mA over input voltage range). If ignition control is not used, the blue wire can be left disconnected,
5.If the VX8/VX9 cable is connected to a screen blanking box or switch, connect the D9 connector to a COM port on the dock. (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 further information about the Screen Blanking box.)
6.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.
7.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.
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.
