Thor VM1A Vehicle-Mounted Computer 73
Enhanced Dock with Thor VX8/VX9 Screen Blanking
This dock is designed for use when the Thor VM1A is replacing a Thor VX8 or Thor
VX9. This dock utilizes the existing vehicle wiring from the earlier computer and
supports screen blanking through that wiring.
Note: For the VMX Enhanced Dock: COM1 is used for screen blanking (via the power cable
connector) and is unavailable when the screen blanking box is attached. When a
screen blanking box is attached, any external serial device, such as a scanner, must
be connected to the COM2 port on the dock. If a screen blanking box is not connected
via the power cable, the COM1 port on the dock is available for a serial device.
