ignition switched circuit (less than 1mA over input voltage
range). If ignition control is not used, the blue wire can be
left disconnected,

available at www.honeywellaidc.com, for further information
about the Screen Blanking box.)
6. The cable is rated for a maximum temperature of 221°F
(105°C). The cable should be protected from surfaces that
exceed this temperature, from physical damage from mov-
ing parts, and from chemicals or oil that cause the insula-
tion to deteriorate. Route the cable so that it does not
interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the vehi-
cle.
7. Secure the cable to the vehicle structure at approximately
one foot intervals, taking care not to over tighten, pinch con-
ductors, or penetrate the insulation.
8. Connect the watertight connector end of the power cable to
the Thor VM1 Quick Mount Smart Dock power connector by
aligning the connector pins to the power connector; push
down on the watertight connector and twist it to fasten
securely.
9. Secure the power cable to the Thor VM1 using strain relief
cable clamps, and place the Thor VM1 in the dock.
