See Power Supply Connector (page 9-6) for connector pinout
For the VM1D Standard Dock and VM3D Enhanced Dock, power options include:
• 12-48 VDC Vehicles (10-60 VDC Direct Connection) (page 4-18) - Direct connection to vehicle power.
• 60-144 VDC Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Side of Lid) (page 4-23) - Requires the use of a DC/DC
power supply.
• 60-144 VDC Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Top of Lid) (page 4-26) - Requires the use of a DC/DC
power supply.
• VX6 / VX7 Adapter Cable (page 4-29) - For applications where the Thor VM3 replaces a previously installed VX6 or VX7.
• Thor VX8 / Thor VX9 Adapter Cable (page 4-30) - For applications where the Thor VM3 (with a VM1D Standard Dock or
VM3D Enhanced dock( replaces a previously installed Thor VX8 or Thor VX9.
• Screen Blanking (page 4-32) - Optional connection to blank the Thor VM3 display while the vehicle is in motion.
• External AC/DC Power Supply (page 4-38) - For use when DC power is not available to power the Thor VM3, such as in
an office environment.
For the VMX3D Enhanced Dock, power options include:

an office environment.
Power Cable Cautions
Power Cable Routing
CAUTION - When routing the power cable:
• Route power cable away from the outside of the fork truck.
• Choose a mounting location so that the power cable does not extend outside the vehicle and that provides sufficient
clearance so that the power cable (especially the dock connector end) is not pressed against part of the vehicle.
• Use the proper Strain Relief Cable Clamps (page 4-16) to secure cable.
• The power cable is less flexible in low temperature environments. Avoid sharp bends.
Regularly inspect power cable for damage, especially in low temperature environments. Contact Technical
Assistance (page 10-1) for replacement cable options.
