Power - Honeywell Thor vm3 User Manual

Power

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power
The Thor VM3 power mode timers are cumulative.
The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer begins the count-
down after the System Idle timer has expired.
When the User Idle timer is set to "Never", the power scheme timers never place the device in User Idle, System Idle or
Suspend modes (even when the device is idle).
The Display > Backlight setting is synchronized with the User Idle setting in the Schemes tab in the Power control panel.
Factory Default Settings
The default Power Scheme selected for the Thor VM3 depends on:
• if external power is connected to the Thor VM3,
• and, for ignition control, the status of the vehicle ignition signal.
The Power Schemes are defined below. The active Power Scheme depends on the user-selected power configuration
mode. However, if no external power is present, the Thor VM3 uses the UPS Power Scheme regardless of user selected
Power Configuration mode.
• AC/DC - When AC/DC has been selected for the Power Configuration mode, this Power Scheme is selected. Because
of the presence of external power, this Power Scheme has longer timeout values.
• Ignition Control/Ignition On - When either Ignition Control option has been selected for the Power Configuration mode
and the Ignition Switch is On, this Power Scheme is selected. Because of the presence of external power, this Power
Scheme has longer timeout values.
• Ignition Control/Ignition Off - When either Ignition Control option has been selected for the Power Configuration mode
and the Ignition Switch is Off, this Power Scheme is selected. This Power Scheme has shorter timeout values (compared
to Ignition On) to preserve the vehicle battery.
• Auto-On - When Auto-On has been selected for the Power Configuration mode, this Power Scheme is selected. Because
of the presence of external power, this Power Scheme has longer timeout values.
• UPS - When any Power Configuration Mode is selected but no external power is present, the UPS Power Scheme is
used. This Power Scheme has much shorter timeout values designed to shut down the Thor VM3 before the UPS battery
is depleted.
