About the Docks
The Thor computer assembly consists of two parts: the VM1A computer and the
dock. The computer contains an internal UPS battery that, once fully charged, pow-
ers the computer for approximately 30 minutes when the unit is not mounted in
the dock.
There are three available vehicle-mount docks:
•
VM1D Standard Dock
• VM3D Enhanced Dock
• Enhanced Dock with Thor VX8/VX9 Screen Blanking
Additionally an off-vehicle dock is available for the computer for use in environ-
ment such as an office where AC power is available:
•
VMXD Enhanced Dock for Off-Vehicle Use
All docks provide:
• A mount for the computer. The dock attaches to a vehicle via a RAM or U bracket
mount or to a RAM table stand for use in an office environment.
• Conditioned power for the VM1A. The vehicle-mount docks accept 10-60VDC
power input directly or 50-150VDC power input with a DC/DC converter. The off-
vehicle dock requires an AC/DC power supply.
• Mobility of the VM1A, since the dock remains attached to the vehicle the
computer can easily be moved from one vehicle equipped with a dock to another.
•I/O ports.
• Strain relief provisions for cables.
• Headset connection via an adapter cable. When a headset is not attached, the
microphone and speakers are active.
