CANbus / Audio Connector
Power Supply Connector
The CANbus/Audio connector is a D-15 male connector located on the back of the Quick
Mount Smart Dock.
The connector supports a headset adapter cable or a CANbus cable. The Thor VM1 does
not support connecting audio and CANbus simultaneously.
See CANbus / Audio Connector (page 8-6) for connector pinout detail.
A headset cable attaches to the CANbus / Audio connector and provides a quick connect
connection for a headset. See Connect Headset Cable (page 4-49) for more information.
The CANbus Y cable has a 9 pin F SAE J1939 (Deutsch) and 9 pin M SAE J1939 (Deutsch)
connector. See Connect CANbus Cable (page 4-50) for more information.
The CANbus interface is a virtual COM port. This port can be accessed using standard Win-
dows API calls.
Power is supplied to the Thor VM1 through the power connector. Additionally this assembly pro-
vides a connection point for the vehicle’s chassis ground to be connected internally to the conduc-
tive chassis of the computer.
The Thor VM1 internal power supply can accept DC input voltages in the range of 10 to 60 Volts
DC.
See Power Supply Connector (page 8-4) for connector pinout detail. See Connect Power (page 4-
28) for more information on connecting power to the Thor VM1.
