The Thor VM1 can be connected to vehicle power as follows:
• Direct power connection (12-48VDC vehicles). See Connecting
the Power Cable, below.
• Replace a previously installed VX6/VX6 or Thor VX8/VX9 with an
adapter cable. See Adapter Cables, below.
• High voltage forklifts (over 60V). Refer to the “DC/DC Power
Supply Installation Instructions,” available at
www.honeywellaidc.com.
Connecting the Power Cable
The following power option is for 12-48VDC vehicles (10-60VDC
direct connection).
• Refer to the wiring diagram for wire colors and connections.
CAUTION - For installation by trained service personnel only.
Fuse Requirements
WARNING - For proper and safe installation, the input power
cable must be connected to a fused circuit on the vehicle. If
the supply connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse
should be installed in the positive lead within 5 inches of the
battery’s positive (+) terminal. The fused circuit requires a
maximum time delay (slow blow) fuse with a current rating as
noted below.
• For 12VDC input, use a 10A slow blow fuse that has a DC
voltage rating greater than 12VDC.
• For 24VDC input, use a 6A slow blow fuse that has a DC
voltage rating greater than 24VDC.
• For 36VDC input, use a 4A slow blow fuse that has a DC
voltage rating greater than 36VDC.
• For 48VDC input, use a 3A slow blow fuse that has a DC
voltage rating greater than 48VDC.
Note: For North America, a UL Listed fuse must be used.

• Choose a mounting location so that the power cable does not
extend outside the vehicle and that provides sufficient clearance
so that the power cable (especially the dock connector end) is not
pressed against part of the vehicle.
• Regularly inspect power cable for damage, especially in low
temperature environments.
