Screen Blanking - Honeywell THOR VM1 Reference Manual

Screen Blanking

Screen blanking allows the Thor VM1 display to automatically be turned off whenever the vehicle is in motion.
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 1000 ms.
Specify the COM Port to which the screen blanking cable is attached. If a COM port is in use by another application, that COM
port is grayed out and cannot be selected for screen blanking.
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.
Screen blanking requires a serial cable and a screen blanking box or switch.
Please refer to the wiring instructions, including appropriate cautions and warnings, in the Thor VM1 Vehicle Mounting
Reference Guide.
