VX6 / VX7 Adapter Cable
An adapter cable is available to attach the Thor VM3 to a vehicle previously equipped with a VX6/VX7 DC power cable.
The adapter cable has a 5-pin connector to match with the VX6/VX7 power supply cable on one end and a 6-pin con-
nector to match to the Thor VM3 on the other end. This section assumes the VX6/VX7 power cable is properly con-
nected to vehicle power. Refer to the VX6 or VX7 Vehicle Mounting Reference Guide for details.
CAUTION - Because the VX6/VX7 supports 10-60 VDC power input, verify input voltages before using this
adapter cable with an existing VX6 or VX7 power connection installation.
