Screen Blanking; Current Level - Honeywell Thor VM1 Reference Manual

Note: Touchscreen heater controls are located on the Peripherals tab.

Screen Blanking

Screen blanking allows the Thor VM1 display to automatically be turned off whenever the vehicle is in motion.
Screen blanking requires a user supplied cable. The Screen Blanking Box is optional. To enable blanking, check the Enable
screen blanking checkbox. The default is disabled.
Use the Screen on delay to specify the period of time in ms (milliseconds) between when the vehicle stops and the Thor VM1
screen turns on. For example, use the delay if the switch end of the cable is attached to the vehicle's accelerator pedal.
Release of the accelerator may mean the truck is coasting to a stop rather than stationary. Configure the delay to allow time for
the vehicle to coast to a stop. The default value is 100 ms.
Specify the COM Port to which the screen blanking cable is attached. The default is COM1.
Do not enable Screen Blanking until the cable is properly connected to the specified COM port.
To disable screen blanking, uncheck the Enable screen blanking checkbox.

Current Level

Current levels of LCD brightness and ambient light are displayed. Ambient light level is detected by the light sensor, located
