The dock provides a conditioned power output for the Thor VM3. By using a specified DC/DC power supply, input voltage of 50-150V DC can be accepted, see 60-144 VDC Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Top of Lid) (page 4-37) or 60-144 VDC Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Top of Lid) (page 4-37).Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible, see Fuse (page 3-4).External AC Power SupplyIf DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional external Universal Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level. AC to DC power input for the Thor VM3 is delivered to the Quick Mount Smart Dock via an optional external power supply and adapter cable. See External AC/DC Power Supply (page 4-46).Uninterruptible Power SupplyThe Thor VM3 contains an internal UPS battery. The user can Replace UPS Battery (page 1-83) The UPS battery is automatically charged when the Thor VM3 is placed in a powered dock, provided the safe charging tem-perature conditions below are met.When external power is removed, the UPS automatically powers the Thor VM3 with no user intervention. When running on UPS power, the power management timeouts may be different than when vehicle power is applied.The UPS allows the Thor VM3 to continue operation when not mounted in a dock or when the vehicle battery is being swapped. When fully charged the UPS battery is designed to power the Thor VM3 for a minimum of 30 minutes at tem-peratures of -20ºC (-4ºF) or greater. For the extended temperature version of the Thor VM3, the UPS provides a minimum of 10 minutes of operation between -20ºC (-4ºF) and -30ºC (-22ºF).If operating on UPS power and the UPS battery becomes critically low, the Thor VM3 performs a controlled shutdown.If there is no external power available, there must be 10% or greater power in the UPS battery or the Thor VM3 does not power on.The UPS status LED and the Battery Control Panel can be used to monitor the state of the UPS battery.Safe Charging Temperature RangeThe internal temperature of the Thor VM3 is the trigger for UPS battery charging.• The UPS battery is not charged when the internal Thor VM3 temperature is below 0°C (32°F). This corresponds to an ambient (room) temperature of approximately -10°C (-14°F).• The UPS battery is not charged when the internal Thor VM3 temperature is above 45°C (113°F). This corresponds to an ambient (room) temperature of approximately 35°C (95°F).

3 - 3• If the UPS battery cannot be charged due to a temperature extreme, the UPS Status LED (page 3-10) is amber. Move the Thor VM3 to a different location to charge the UPS battery.When the Thor VM3 is operated in an environment where the UPS battery is not able to charge due to temperature extremes, the Thor VM3 should be removed to a location within the safe charging temperature range during off hours. A discharged UPS battery cannot protect against data loss in the event vehicle power is interrupted.Charging Timeout• A fully discharged UPS battery normally recharges in less than 4 hours when the Thor VM3 is in a powered dock and within the safe charging temperature range.• If the UPS battery is not charged before an 8 hour (or 4 hours for some earlier software revisions) timeout period expires, the UPS Status LED (page 3-10) is amber.• The charge timeout is reset if charging resumes upon application of external power.• The charge timeout is reset if charging resumes when the Thor VM3 enters the permissible temperature range for charging.Charging and Power ManagementBackup BatteryThe Thor VM3 has a permanent Lithium battery installed to maintain time, date and CMOS setup information for a minimum of 90 days.

$3 - 8Keyboard Options••Integrated KeypadThe integrated keypad contains seven programmable keys, a blue modifier key and an orange modifier key.The P1 though P7 keys are user programmable.• When used with no modifier key, P1 through P7 can be configured for a user programmable function.• When used with the Orange modifier key, P1 through P7 provide secondary programmable keys, P8 through P14, and can be configured for a user programmable function.• The programmable keys can be remapped to provide a single keypress, a string of keypresses or to execute an application or command. Key remapping is configured via the Programmable Key (page 5-41) option in the Control Panel.• Programmable keys persist across a warmboot or power cycle.• When used with the Blue modifier key, P1 and P2 keys are used to adjust speaker volume and P5 and P6 keys are used to adjust display brightness.The Thor VM3 integrated keypad is backlit.• By default, the integrated keypad backlight follows the display backlight. When the display backlight is on, the integrated keypad backlight is on.• If the display backlight brightness is increased (or decreased) the integrated keypad backlight brightness is increased (or decreased).The integrated keypad backlight and the display share the same timer, which is configured in the Power Options (page 5-6) control panel.• The integrated keypad backlight can be disabled via the Options (page 5-23) control panel.Keypad LEDsSee Keyboard LEDs (page 3-12) for details.95-Key USB KeyboardThe Thor VM3 uses an optional rugged QWERTY 95 key keyboard, designed for ease of use with the Windows CE operat-ing system. The USB keyboard connects directly to the D9 USB connector on the Thor VM3 Quick Mount Smart Dock.• The 95 key keyboard supports all 104 keyboard functions (101 standard keyboard plus Windows keys) and includes an integrated pointing device and left and right mouse buttons. However, because the keyboard only has 95 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard).
