Thor Quick Mount

The Thor assembly consists of two parts, the Thor computer and the Quick Mount.

The Thor contains an internal UPSbattery that, once fully charged, powers the Thor for a minimum of 30 minutes when the unit
is not mounted in the Quick Mount.

The Quick Mount provides:

l A mount for the Thor computer. The Quick Mount attaches to a vehicle via a RAM mount.
l Conditioned power for the Thor. The Quick Mount accepts 9-60 VDC power input.
l COM1 and COM2 serial connections for a tethered scanner, printer, PC connection, etc.
l USB host and client connections via an adapter cable.
l CANbus connection via an adapter cable.
l Headset connection via an adapter cable. When a headset is not attached, the microphone and speakers on the Thor

are active.

l Strain relief cable mounts.
l Mobility of the Thor, since the Quick Mount remains attached to the vehicle the Thor computer can easily be moved

from one vehicle equipped with a Quick Mount to another.

External antenna connectors may be present on the back of the Thor. The connectors may include:

l 802.11 antenna connectors when the Thor is not equipped with internal antennas.
l External GPSantenna connector, when the Thor is equipped with GPS.
l External WWAN antenna connectors, when the Thor is equipped with WWAN.
