Auto-On Disabled
When Auto-On is disabled, the Ignition Input signal, if connected via the Thor VM1 vehicle power supply
cable, is monitored.
When the Ignition Input wire is connected:
• If the Thor VM1 is Off and Ignition Input is Inactive, the Thor VM1 remains Off.
• If the Thor VM1 is Off and Ignition Input changes from Inactive to Active, the Thor VM1 boots.
• If the Thor VM1 is On and Ignition Input changes from Inactive to Active, the Thor VM1 remains On. If,
for example, a Thor VM1 is running on the UPS and is placed into a dock connected to a truck when the
truck ignition is On, the power management scheme may change based on the availability of external
power.
• If the Thor VM1 is On and Ignition Input changes from Active to Inactive, this event is treated the same as
a Power button press, which places the Thor VM1 in Suspend.
If the Ignition Input wire is not connected, the Thor VM1 only powers on when the Power button is pressed.
