Screen Blanking
Screen blanking allows the Thor VM2 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 VM2 screen turns on. For example, use the delay if the switch end of the cable is attached to the vehicle’s accel-
erator 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.
To disable screen blanking, uncheck the Enable screen blanking checkbox.
See Screen Blanking (page 4-33) for hardware requirements.
Refer to the wiring instructions, including appropriate cautions and warnings, in the Connect Power (page 4-17) sec-
tion.
Do not enable Screen Blanking until the cable is properly connected to the specified COM port.
