Fuse Requirements

•For all voltages, use the 3A fuse from the kit or a slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage

rating greater than the vehicle input voltage.

Note: For North America, a UL Listed fuse is to be used.

Power Cable Identification

The DC power cable is included with the dock and is one of the two styles below:

Power cable with right angle connector and 6 wires:

Power cable with straight connector and 4 wires:

Note: Correct electrical polarity is required for safe and proper installation. See Wiring Diagram

for additional wire color-coding specifics.

The Thor VM1 DC input wires (Red, Red/White DC+ and Black, Black/White DC-) and

the Blue ignition input wire are galvanically isolated. The Green ground input is used for

electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.

Warning: For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be

connected to a fused circuit on the vehicle. If the supply

connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be

installed in the positive lead within 5 inches of the battery’s

positive (+) terminal. Use VM3055FUSE (or equivalent) to

install the fuse as shown below:
