Vehicle Ignition Monitoring

When Auto-On is disabled (see below) and the ignition input wire is connected, the Thor VM1 monitors the ignition
input signal and adjusts modes as described below.
Auto On Behavior
The Thor VM1 can be configured for Auto-On using the

On Control Wiring Diagram
Auto-On Enabled
When Auto-On is enabled, the Ignition Input signal, if connected via the Thor VM1 vehicle power supply cable,
is ignored.
When Auto-On is enabled, the Thor VM1 boots when external power is applied, such as when:
• The Thor VM1 is placed in a powered dock, with the dock's power switch set to On.
• The Thor VM1 is in a dock and truck power is applied to the dock
• The Thor VM1 is in a powered dock and the dock's power switch is turned from Off to On.
If the Thor VM1 is already on and one of the above events occurs, the Thor VM1 continues to run, however
the power management scheme may change based on the connection to external power.
3 - 6
After all cables are connected, the Thor VM1 can be powered on.
There is a power switch located on the back of the Quick Mount Smart Dock. The power switch
is a rocker switch.
The power switch has a raised bump to identify the switch position even when it is hidden from
view. When the side of the switch with the raised bump is pressed, the power switch is On. If
the dock is connected to external power, the dock delivers power to the Thor VM1.
Generally, once the dock is powered On, there is no need to power it off. The dock power can
remain On even when the Thor VM1 is not attached.
(page 4-18).
The power button is located at the top left of the Thor VM1.
If the Thor VM1 is Off, pressing the power button starts the power up
sequence.
Note: This assumes that the Thor VM1 is docked in a powered
Quick Mount Smart Dock or that the internal UPS battery has
a sufficient charge to power the Thor VM1. If no external
power is available and the UPS battery does not have a
charge, pressing the power button causes no action.
If the Thor VM1 is On, pressing the power button places the unit in
Suspend.
