Thor VM3 with Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 User Guide 197
Power Configuration Mode
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Configuration Mode
There are three user selectable power configuration modes for the Thor VM3 available.
Additionally a UPS power configuration mode is supported and automatically selected
regardless of the user selected mode any time external power is not present.
Power control panel timeout values vary by the power configuration mode selected.
AC/DC Mode
This is the default power mode. In AC/DC mode the Thor VM3 is turned On when power
is connected. Ignition input is ignored when AC/DC Mode is enabled.
Note: When the UPS battery has been depleted or disconnected (the Thor VM3 is first powered
out of the box, the front panel has been replaced, etc.) power the Thor VM3 manually by
pressing the power button. After the initial power up, the Thor VM3 powers on
automatically when power is attached and AC/DC mode is selected.
Note: When AC/DC is used to power the Thor VM3 on automatically the Wakeup Timer must be
enabled.
