VMXD Enhanced Dock with Thor VX8/Thor VX9 Power Cable
Determine the type of power supply used with the previous Thor VX8 or Thor VX9 instal-
lation:
•
DC/DC Power Supply with Screws on Top of Lid
•
DC/DC Power Supply with Screws on Side of Lid
Caution: This dock is recommended for use when replacing an existing
Thor VX8 or Thor VX9 where screen blanking is used. This dock
eliminates the need for wiring changes by enabling the existing
VX8/VX9 power cable and screen blanking box to be used when
the VX8/VX9 is replaced by a Thor VM3 computer. These
instructions are for this dock model only! The Ignition Control
feature is not available when this dock is used.
Warning: The external DC/DC converter previously used with the Thor
VX8 or Thor VX9 must be left in place to provide ground
isolation. Connecting the dock power input directly to vehicle
power could result in a safety hazard or equipment damage.
Warning: The cable shielding must be connected to chassis ground.
Consult the instructions later in this section for the respective
power supply type.
Caution: COM1 is used for screen blanking (via the power cable
connector) and is unavailable when the screen blanking box is
attached. When a screen blanking box is attached, any external
serial device such as a scanner, must be connected to the
COM2 port on the dock. If a screen blanking box is not
connected via the power cable, the COM1 port on the dock is
available for a serial device connection.
These instructions for use with
only.
