Screen Blanking
See Screen Blanking (page 4-49) for the hardware necessary for screen blanking.
Screen blanking allows the Thor VM2 display to automatically be turned off whenever the vehicle is in motion. When
the Thor VM2 display is off due to vehicle motion, the integrated keypad backlight remains on.
Screen blanking requires a user supplied cable properly connected as shown below. To enable blanking, check the
Enable screen blanking checkbox. The default is disabled.
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.
