plan when ignition control of the Thor VM3 power on process is desired.
The Thor VM3 automatically switches between the Ignition Control/Ignition On or the
Ignition Control/Ignition Off power schemes/plans depending on the state of the vehi-
cle ignition input. Default timeouts are shorter in this scheme to conserve the vehicle
battery charge.
The following default timeouts are used in the Ignition Control/Ignition Off power plan.
