The Thor VM1 contains a UPS battery which, when fully charged, can power the Thor VM1 for a minimum of 30 minutes. This can be when the Thor VM1 is not attached to a dock or when the Thor VM1 is attached to a dock but the vehicle power is inter- rupted, such as when the vehicle battery is being changed.
Product Service and Repair (page 9- Initial Setup for Thor VM1 This page lists a quick outline of the steps you might take when setting up a new Thor VM1. More instruction for each step is listed later in this guide. Contact Technical Assistance (page 9-1) if you need additional help.
Thor VM1 for a minimum of 30 minutes when the unit is not mounted in the dock. All docks provide: • A mount for the Thor VM1 computer. The dock attaches to a vehicle via a RAM or U-bracket mount or to a RAM table stand for use in an office environment.
• 802.11 antenna connectors, used when the Thor VM1 is not equipped with internal antennas. • External GPS antenna connector, when the Thor VM1 is equipped with GPS. • External WWAN antenna connectors, when the Thor VM1 is equipped with WWAN. Optional WWAN radio (available in North America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia only).

When a headset is plugged into the adapter cable, the main speakers are disabled. A microphone is located at the upper right of the Thor VM1 display, near the Thor VM1 emblem. When a headset is plugged into the adapter cable, the internal microphone is disabled.
If DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional external Universal Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level. AC to DC power input for the Thor VM1 is delivered to the dock via an optional external power supply and adapter cable.
When the Thor VM1 is attached to either vehicle power or an external power supply or is operating from the UPS bat- tery and the power button is pressed, the Thor VM1 is in the On mode. In this mode, the keypad, touch screen and any attached peripherals such as a scanner function normally.

Introduction The Thor VM1 is designed to be mounted to a dock in a vehicle with either a RAM mount or U Bracket system. A power cable is provided with the Thor VM1 dock. An integrated scanner mount is also offered. Optional communication cables are available.
1. Locate the notch on the upper rear of the Thor VM1. 2. Slide this notch over the top lip of the dock. Slide the Thor VM1 from side to side on the dock to make sure it fully engages on the lip of the dock.
• When the Thor VM1 is not installed in the dock, use the I/O Pin Cover to protect the pins on the dock as shown. • When a Thor VM1 is installed in the dock, the I/O Pin Cover can be placed out of the way behind the dock.
In addition to the kits below, individual RAM mounting components are also available. Mounting Kits Each mounting kit contains: RAM Ball (Size D) for back of Thor VM1 dock with hardware (screws and washers) to attach RAM ball to dock RAM Arm (Size D), length varies by kit selected One of three mounting options: •...
Equipment Needed: Sockets, screwdriver and a Torque wrench capable of measuring to 50 inch pounds (5.64±.56 N/m). Note: Torquing tool is not supplied by Honeywell. Tools needed to attach the RAM Clamp Mount to the vehicle are not supplied by Honeywell.

2.5” (63.5 mm) wide and approximately 2” (50.8 mm) thick. The clamp may be attached to a thicker beam by substituting longer bolts (not included). Be sure to position the RAM clamp mount to allow access to the switches and ports on the bottom of the Thor VM1. Bolts...
Page 45
1. Determine the position for mounting the RAM ball plate. Be sure to position the RAM plate to allow access to the switches and ports on the bottom of the Thor VM1. 2. Attach the RAM ball plate to the vehicle mounting surface using four 1/4 bolts (not included) or equivalent fasten- ers.
Page 46
2. Place the Thor VM1 face down on a stable surface. 3. Position the RAM ball on the rear of the Thor VM1 dock, aligning the holes on the back of the Thor VM1 dock with the holes on the RAM ball base. Attach with four M5 screws, flat washers and lock washers.
Page 47
2. Insert the ball on the dock into the RAM arm and tighten the knob on the RAM arm using the supplied RAM wrench. Step 4 – Place the Thor VM1 into the Dock If the Thor VM1 is not already mounted to the dock, Place Thor VM1 in the Dock (page 4-18)
The U bracket kit is available in two configurations: • With a U Bracket included for new vehicle installations • Without a U Bracket for installing the Thor VM1 in place of a previous Honeywell vehicle mounted computer, such as a VX6 or VX7.
Page 49
The adapter bracket can be mounted in a high or low position, depending on viewing position, as shown below. Additionally, the slotted U bracket allows the Thor VM1 to be mounted vertically or tilted forward or backward for best viewing angle.
Page 50
9. 1.25 in / 31.75 mm Step 2 - Remove RAM Ball If the Thor VM1 dock has a RAM ball attached, the RAM ball must be removed from the dock to use the U Bracket mount. Remove the RAM ball. The hardware used to attach the RAM ball to the dock is not reused for the U bracket mount.
For example, the largest clamp (on the left when viewing the back of the dock) is designed to secure the power cable. 2. Remove the strain relief clamp from the Thor VM1 by turning the screw counterclockwise. Put the screw aside in a safe location.

Vehicle 10-60VDC Direct Power Connection 1. The Thor VM1 must not be mounted in the dock. The power switch on the dock must be turned Off. The power cable must be UNPLUGGED from the dock. 2. While observing the Fuse Requirements (page 4-32), connect the power cable as close as possible to the actual battery terminals of the vehicle (if using unswitched power).
Page 56
When switched vehicle power is available the Thor VM1 ignition signal wire can be connected (less than 1mA over input voltage range) to the switched circuit to allow the Thor VM1 to power on when the vehicle is switched on and go into shut down (see note below) when the vehicle is switched off.
Page 57
Auto-On Control Wiring Diagram Auto-On must be selected on the AutoOn (page 5-5) control panel. The vehicle supply connections should be made to vehicle switched power to allow the terminal to automatically power-up when vehicle power is switched on or when the power switch on the back of the dock is placed in the On position. The Ignition wire is not used and should be left disconnected.

Logon Options There are two options available, a Single Signon (page 6-14) option which uses the Windows username and password as the credentials for 802.1x authentication and a Pre-Logon Connection (page 6-14) option which uses saved creden- tials for 802.1x authentication before Windows logon. If either option is enabled, the credentials entered here take precedence over any credentials entered on the profile tab.
The user must enter the Username and Password at that time to authenticate. • When using Summit with the Thor VM1, there is an option on the Global tab to use the Windows user name and password to log on instead of any username and password stored in the profile.
