Vehicle 10-60 VDC Power Connection

Caution:
For installation by trained service personnel only.
Caution: For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be connected to a fused circuit on the vehicle. This
fused circuit requires a 10 Amp maximum time delay (slow blow) high interrupting rating fuse. If the supply con-
nection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in the positive lead within 5 inches of the battery
positive (+) terminal. Note: For North America, a UL Listed fuse is to be used.
VM1054CABLE
Note: Correct electrical polarity is required for safe and proper installation. See the figures below for
additional wire color-coding specifics.

Connect Vehicle 10-60VDC

1. The Thor VM1 W must not be mounted in the Quick Mount Smart Dock. The power switch on the Dock must be turned
Off. The power cable must be UNPLUGGED from the Dock.
2. While observing the fuse requirements specified above, connect the power cable as close as possible to the actual
battery terminals of the vehicle (if using unswitched power).
3. Wiring installation:
Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly sized "crimp" type electrical
l
terminals are an accepted method of termination. Please select electrical connectors sized for use with 20AWG
(0.81mm2) conductors.
