7.3.2 Neutral Delay [C201]
• The Throttle position drops to Idle.
• The Transmission shifts to Neutral.
• The Control System pauses at this position until the delay has timed out.
• The Transmission shifts to the opposite gear (Astern or Ahead).
• The Throttle position moves to the Control Head’s present lever position.
7.3.3 Fixed Neutral Delay [C202]
• The Throttle drops to Idle.
• The Transmission shifts to Neutral.
• The Control System pauses at this position for the amount of time programmed (duration)
with Function C3 Proportional Pause Time (regardless of prior throttle setting).
• The Transmission shifts to the opposite gear (Port or Starboard)
• The Throttle position moves to the Control Head’s present commanded position.
7.3.4 Calculating Proportional Pause Time C3
The amount of pause required is determined as follows:
A Place the Control Head lever(s) to the Full Ahead position.
B Leave the Control Head lever(s) at this position for whichever of the following two is longer:
• Sixty seconds.
• The vessel’s speed through the water reaches maximum.
C Quickly move the Control Head lever(s) to Ahead Idle or Neutral, (depending on Function
Code C4 setting) while starting the stop-watch.
D When the engine(s) RPM reaches Idle and the vessel’s speed through the water is within two
knots of the standard Idle Ahead speed, stop the stop-watch.
E Program Function Code C3, Proportional Pause Time, as described in the Set Up Procedures,
to the time expired on the stop-watch.
CAUTION: The Fixed Neutral Delay feature was added in order to accommodate Thruster Control installations.
Damage to the drive train may occur when used for reverse reduction gear applications.
NOTE: The pause on a through Neutral shift is proportional to the speed commanded and the time at that
speed. The Values listed for Function Code C3, Proportional Pause Time, are the maximum possible delays.
When shifting from Idle Ahead to Idle Astern or vice-versa the delay is zero. The time required to build up to
the maximum pause is six times the Value selected. In addition, in order to build up to the maximum delay
Value, the System must be commanding Full Throttle. The Pause when shifting from Astern to Ahead is either
half or the same as the Ahead to Astern delay depending on the Value selected for Function Code C4
Proportional Pause Ratio.
NOTE: A stop-watch is required to accurately program the Proportional Pause Time.
