Install Mounting Brackets
Caution:
This device is intended to transmit RF energy. For protection against RF exposure to humans and in accordance
with FCC rules and Industry Canada rules, this transmitter should be installed such that a minimum separation dis-
tance of at least 20 cm (7.8 in.) is maintained between the antenna and the general population. This device is not
to be co-located with other transmitters.
The following RAM balls are used to mount the Thor VX8:
D-sized (2.25”) balls and arms
l Used to mount the Thor VX8 when a single RAM ball is ordered on the back of the Thor VX8. A D-sized ball is also used
on the truck.
C-sized (1.5”) balls and arms
l Used to mount the Thor VX8 when dual RAM balls are ordered on the back of the Thor VX8. A pair of C-sized balls is
also used on the truck.
l Keyboard brackets also use C-sized ball. A corresponding C-sized ball is either included as part of the Thor VX8
mounting bracket or mounted independently on the truck for the keyboard assembly.
Mounting Procedure
Step 1 – Mount Vehicle RAM Ball(s)
Determine the position for mounting the RAM ball(s). Be sure to position the RAM ball(s) to allow access to the switches and
ports on the bottom of the Thor VX8.
Depending on the options ordered with the Thor VX8, the RAM ball may be:
l A single or dual RAM ball mounted directly to the truck
l A single or dual RAM ball mounted to a plate. The plate then mounts to the truck.
l A single RAM ball integrated with a mounting plate
l A single or dual RAM squeeze clamp style ball
l A single or dual RAM pipe clamp style ball
Additionally, some mounting plates contain a provision for another RAM ball which is used to mount the keyboard.
RAM Ball Mount
Depending on the option ordered, there may be a single RAM ball or dual RAM balls to mount the Thor VX8.
1. Determine the position for mounting the RAM ball base. Be sure to position the RAM bracket to allow access to the
switches and ports on the bottom of the Thor VX8.
2. Attach the RAM ball base to the vehicle mounting surface using four 1/4 bolts (or equivalent) fasteners.
Note: 1/4 bolts not included.
IMPORTANT: Mount to the most rigid surface available.
