Standard
The Thor VM1 is turned on and off manually by the user using the power button on the front of the device.
The power switch on the Quick Mount Smart Dock must be On and the Thor VM1 connected to external power.
In the absence of external power the Thor VM1 can operate from a sufficiently charged UPS battery.
The Ignition Input wire, which is part of the DC Power Cable, is left disconnected.
When the Thor VM1 is on, the behavior of the power button press is configurable using the control panel.
Ignition Control
The Thor VM1 is turned on automatically when a signal is received via the Ignition Input wire, which is part of the DC
Power Cable.
The power switch on the Quick Mount Smart Dock must be On.
The Ignition Input wire is connected to an appropriate source that provides a signal when vehicle ignition is turned
on. Please see Connect Power (page 4-28) for cautions and wiring instructions.
When the vehicle ignition is turned off, this is treated the same as a power button press. The behavior of the power
button press is configurable using the control panel.
Auto-On
The Thor VM1 automatically powers up when power is provided. This could be from switched vehicle power, the power
switch on the Quick Mount Smart Dock being placed in the On position or external AC power being applied.
The power switch on the Quick Mount Smart Dock must be On for external power to control the device.
The Ignition Input wire, which is part of the DC Power Cable, is left disconnected.
No action occurs when the power source is disconnected.
