Wwan; Gps; Power; Vehicle Dc Power Supply - Honeywell Thor VM3 User Manual

Bluetooth simultaneously supports one printer as a slave Bluetooth device and one scanner, either as a slave or as a mas-
ter Bluetooth device.
• The LED on the Bluetooth scanner illuminates during a scanning operation.
• Multiple beeps may be heard during a bar code scan using a mobile Bluetooth scanner; beeps from the mobile Bluetooth
scanner as the bar code data is accepted/rejected, and other beeps from the Thor VM3 during final bar code data
manipulation.

WWAN

WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Networking) is available on the Thor VM3. A slot is provided for a SIM card.

GPS

GPS (Global Positioning System) is available on the Thor VM3.

Power

Vehicle DC Power Supply

Vehicle power input for the Thor VM3 dock is 10V to 60V DC and is accepted without the need to perform any manual oper-
ation within the Thor VM3 dock, see
a conditioned power output for the Thor VM3. By using a specified DC/DC power supply, input voltage of 50-150V DC can
be accepted, see 60-144 VDC Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Top of Lid)
Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Top of Lid)
Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible, see

External AC Power Supply

If DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional external Universal Input Power Supply can
be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level. AC to DC power input for the Thor VM3 is delivered to the
Quick Mount Smart Dock via an optional external power supply and adapter cable. See
(page 1-41).

Uninterruptible Power Supply

The Thor VM3 contains an internal UPS battery. The user can
The UPS battery is automatically charged when the Thor VM3 is placed in a powered dock, provided the safe charging tem-
perature conditions below are met.
When external power is removed, the UPS automatically powers the Thor VM3 with no user intervention. When running on
UPS power, the power management timeouts may be different than when vehicle power is applied.
The UPS allows the Thor VM3 to continue operation when not mounted in a dock or when the vehicle battery is being
swapped. When fully charged the UPS battery is designed to power the Thor VM3 for a minimum of 30 minutes at tem-
peratures of -20ºC (-4ºF) or greater. For the extended temperature version of the Thor VM3, the UPS provides a minimum
of 10 minutes of operation between -20ºC (-4ºF) and -30ºC (-22ºF).
If operating on UPS power and the UPS battery becomes critically low, the Thor VM3 performs a controlled shutdown.
If there is no external power available, there must be 10% or greater power in the UPS battery or the Thor VM3 does not
power on.
The UPS status LED and the Battery Control Panel can be used to monitor the state of the UPS battery.

Safe Charging Temperature Range

The internal temperature of the Thor VM3 is the trigger for UPS battery charging.
• The UPS battery is not charged when the internal Thor VM3 temperature is below 0°C (32°F). This corresponds to
an ambient (room) temperature of approximately -10°C (-14°F).
• The UPS battery is not charged when the internal Thor VM3 temperature is above 45°C (113°F). This corresponds
to an ambient (room) temperature of approximately 35°C (95°F).
