The Thor VM3 aromatically switches between the Ignition Control/Ignition On or the

cle ignition input.

The ignition input wire must be connected. If the user selects this power plan but the
ignition is Off, the Ignition Control/Ignition Off plan is used instead.
Ignition Control/Ignition On Behavior
When either Ignition Control power plan is selected and external power is present the
Thor VM3 behaves as described below. If external power is not present, refer to the
section for Thor VM3 behavior.
Thor VM3 is Off and Vehicle Ignition is Switched to On
Conditions
The Thor VM3 is Off and vehicle ignition changes from Off to On.
Result
The Thor VM3 boots. Once booted the Thor VM3 follows the Ignition Control/Ignition
On power plan with timers reset after the boot completes.
Thor VM3 is On and Vehicle Ignition is Switched to On
Conditions
The Thor VM3 is On and vehicle ignition changes from Off (or not present) to On.
Result
The Thor VM3 continues to run and follows the Ignition Control/Ignition On power plan
with timers reset at the time Ignition switched to Active.
An example of this case would be a Thor VM3 that is running on UPS and is then
mounted on a dock that has truck power and the ignition switch is already On.
