Chapter 1 - Introduction
The Honeywell Thor VM2WG Vehicle Mount Computer (VMC) is a rugged, vehicle mounted computer running a Microsoft
®
Windows Embedded Standard operating system and capable of wireless data communications from a fork-lift truck or any
properly configured vehicle.
®
The optional Bluetooth module supports Honeywell Bluetooth printers and scanners. The Thor VM2WG provides the power
and functionality of a desktop computer in a vehicle mounted unit, with a wide range of options.
The Thor VM2WG is designed for use with a vehicle Quick Mount Smart Dock. The dock installs in the vehicle and connects to
vehicle power. The dock provides conditioned input power for the Thor VM2WG. Peripheral connections are on the dock. The
Thor VM2WG is designed to easily be removed from the dock with a latch on the lower rear of the Thor VM2WG housing. Since
the dock remains attached to the vehicle, the Thor VM2WG computer can easily be moved from one vehicle equipped with a
Quick Mount Smart Dock to another vehicle equipped with a Quick Mount Smart Dock.
The Thor VM2WG contains a UPS battery which, when fully charged, can power the Thor VM2WG for a minimum of 30
minutes. This can be when the Thor VM2WG is not attached to a Quick Mount Smart Dock or when the Thor VM2WG is
attached to a dock but the vehicle power is interrupted, such as when the vehicle battery is being changed.
