cable must be UNPLUGGED from the dock.
2. While observing the
actual battery terminals of the vehicle (if using unswitched power).
3. Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly sized "crimp" type
electrical terminals are an accepted method of termination. Please select electrical connectors sized for use
with 20AWG (0.81mm2) conductors.
4. Refer to the wiring diagrams following this section for wire colors and connections:
• Ignition Control Wiring Diagram
• Auto-On Control Wiring Diagram
• Manual Control Wiring Diagram
5. Route the power cable the shortest way possible removing any left-over cable. The cable is rated for a maxi-
mum temperature of 105°C (221°F). Therefore, when routing this cable it should be protected from physical
damage and from surfaces that might exceed this temperature. Cable should be protected from physical dam-
age from moving parts. Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to
deteriorate. Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the
vehicle.
6. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at approximately one foot inter-
vals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or penetrate outer cable jacket.
7. Connect the watertight connector end of the power cable to the Thor VM2 dock power connector by aligning
the connector pins to the power connector; push down on the watertight connector and twist it to fasten
