Vdc Vehicles (10-60 Vdc Direct Connection); Power Cable Identification - Honeywell Thor VM2 User Manual

12-48 VDC Vehicles (10-60 VDC Direct Connection)

CAUTION - For installation by trained service personnel only.
Use caution when routing the power cable. See
Fuse Requirements
WARNING - For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be connected to a fused circuit on the
vehicle. If the supply connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in the positive lead
within 5 inches of the battery's positive (+) terminal. Use VM3055FUSE (or equivalent) to install the fuse as shown
below:
• For 12VDC input, use the 10A fuse from the kit or a slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage rating greater than
12VDC.
• For 24VDC input, use the 6A fuse from the kit or a slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage rating greater than
24VDC.
• For 36VDC input, use the 4A fuse from the kit or a slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage rating greater than
36VDC.
• For 48VDC input, use the 3A fuse from the kit or a slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage rating greater than
48VDC.
Note: For North America, a UL Listed fuse is to be used.

Power Cable Identification

The DC power cable is included with the dock and is one of the two styles below:
Power cable with right angle connector and 6 wires:
Twist the red and red/white wires together and twist the
black and black/white wires together before connecting to
vehicle power.
Power cable with straight connector and 4 wires:
Note: Correct electrical polarity is required for safe and proper installation. See the figures below for additional wire
color-coding specifics.
The Thor VM2 DC input wires (Red, Red/White DC+ and Black, Black/White DC-) and the Blue ignition input wire are
galvanically isolated. The Green ground input is used for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
