3 Operating Instructions
3.1 Operation
3.1.1 Joystick operating modes
The joystick system can be operated in two (optionally three) operating modes:
1. Maneuvering mode
2. Thruster mode
3. GPS Hold mode (optional)
Maneuvering mode
Unlimited Maneuvering mode

When the joystick is in unlimited Maneuvering mode the power train (clutch and speed) and the thrusters are
operated and controlled simultaneously.
In the case of gearboxes with the trolling option, the trolling setting is automatically generated by the joy-
stick.
Limited Maneuvering mode

In the case of the limited Maneuvering mode, a distinction is made between two operating modes:
• Limited Maneuvering mode:
“Limited Maneuvering mode” arises as a result of thruster failure.
• Single-shaft Maneuvering mode:
The limited “Single-shaft Maneuvering mode” arises as a result of shaft failure.
Thruster mode
• Thruster mode:
Only the thrusters are operated and controlled when the joystick is in Thruster mode. Clutch engage-
ment/disengagement and speed are not controlled.
Thruster mode can also be activated without relinquishing command at the propulsion control lever. This
makes it possible to control clutch engagement/disengagement and speed using the propulsion control
lever and to control the thrusters with the joystick.
• Standby:
The joystick is in Standby mode when thruster operation is deactivated.
Note:
Depending on the make of thruster, the input signals from the manufacturer's control unit have priority over
the control signals from the joystick (regardless of the operating mode).
GPS Hold mode (optional)

TIM-ID: 0000059702 - 002
The position at the time of selection is maintained in GPS Hold mode. The system automatically compen-
sates for external influences e.g. wind drift, currents etc.

TIM-ID: 0000059704 - 001

3.2 Operation
3.2.1 Maneuvering mode
Features
In maneuvering mode, the vessel can be operated very easily from one of the control stands using the joy-
stick system.
When the joystick is activated, it can be used to control the vessel's movements. Consequently, the vessel
operator is able to perform complicated maneuvers easily and safely when space on the water is tight.
In every operating mode, the joystick system processes the vessel operator's settings via the joystick and
controls the propulsion engines and the thrusters with targeted and precise movements.
In addition the joystick system helps the vessel operator with bow alignment and prevents unintentional
turning of the vessel caused by the wind or currents.
If the thruster is not available (due to failure or overheating), the joystick system can be operated in limited
"Maneuvering" mode. Only the main engines can be operated in this operating mode.
If a shaft is not available (e.g. due to a shut down engine or due to communication problems), the joystick
system can be operated in limited "Single-shaft maneuvering" mode. Only one main engine and the thruster
can be operated in this operating mode.
When the joystick is moved the vessel executes a motion at a speed proportional to the degree of control
lever inclination. The more the joystick is inclined, the more the vessel speed increases.
The sections below describe basic maneuvers using the joystick.
Ahead
TIM-ID: 0000059705 - 001
If the propulsion control lever is pushed forwards, the vessel moves ahead at a speed proportional to the
degree of control lever inclination.

During the first part of the control lever travel, the joystick system controls the gearbox to limit the vessel
speed.
During the second part of the control lever travel, the joystick system keeps the gearbox engaged in Ahead
and controls the engine speed to increase the propulsion and therefore the vessel speed.
The joystick system influences the control system in such a way that events that can lead to engine or pro-
pulsion system damage are excluded, e.g. Ahead engaged too quickly or changing from Ahead to Astern too
quickly.
Smaller lateral movements of the joystick in the cone during such maneuvers are ignored to keep the vessel
sailing in a stable direction.
To maintain the selected direction, the joystick system automatically compensates for any bow rotations
when moving in Ahead direction. In certain cases, e.g. windy conditions, it is possible that the vessel may go
off course. Manual compensation involving a combined turning maneuver is possible in this instance.
Astern
Pulling the control lever backwards propels the vessel astern.

During the first part of the control lever travel, the joystick system controls the gearbox to limit the vessel
speed.
TIM-ID: 0000059705 - 001
During the second part of the control lever travel, the joystick system keeps the gearbox engaged and con-
trols the engine speed to increase the propulsion and therefore the vessel speed.
The joystick system influences the control system in such a way that events that can lead to engine or pro-
pulsion system damage are excluded, e.g. Ahead engaged too quickly or changing from Ahead to Astern too
quickly.
To maintain the selected direction, the joystick system automatically compensates for any bow rotations
when moving in Astern direction. With this maneuver, however, it is very difficult to maintain the direction
once the vessel has adopted a certain motion. Any inexactitudes can be compensated manually by executing
a combined turning maneuver.

Lateral motion
Moving the joystick to one side propels the vessel accordingly in a proportional lateral motion.
To maintain the selected direction and to make control easier, the joystick system automatically compen-
sates for any bow rotations in the event of sideways motion. In certain cases, e.g. windy conditions, it is
possible that the vessel may go off course when maneuvering. Manual compensation involving a combined
turning maneuver is possible in this instance.
The thruster must be used intensively to move the vessel sideways. Electrical thrusters may overheat when
used for longer periods whereupon overheating protection is tripped thus blocking them. We therefore rec-
ommend using this feature sparingly.
TIM-ID: 0000059705 - 001

Diagonal motion
Complex maneuvers can be executed by combining various movements (ahead, astern, lateral motion and
rotation).
When the joystick is moved diagonally the vessel executes a diagonal motion.
To maintain the selected direction and to make control easier, the joystick system automatically compen-
sates for any bow rotations in the event of diagonal motion. In certain cases, e.g. very windy conditions, it is
possible that the vessel may go off course. Manual compensation involving a combined turning maneuver is
possible in this instance.
The thruster must be used intensively to move the vessel diagonally. Electrical thrusters may overheat when
used for longer periods whereupon overheating protection is tripped thus blocking them. We therefore rec-
ommend using this feature sparingly.
We recommend initiating diagonal motion when the vessel is stationary or moving slowly to minimize dynam-
ic effects on the hull and facilitate diagonal motion.
TIM-ID: 0000059705 - 001

Rotation
Turning the knob of the joystick propels the vessel around its center of gravity at a speed proportional to
joystick rotation.
TIM-ID: 0000059705 - 001

Rotation and lateral motion
Combining joystick movements allows lateral motion to be combined with rotation.

This allows the vessel to complete any maneuver of which it is capable under its own power depending on
the weather and environmental conditions.
TIM-ID: 0000059705 - 001

Turning
To perform a turning maneuver, move the joystick forward and, at the same time, turn its head in the desired
direction.
Operate the bow and stern thrusters independently of each other

Moving the joystick diagonally upward causes the bow thrusters to move the bow in the corresponding direc-
tion.
Moving the joystick diagonally downward causes the stern thrusters to move the stern in the corresponding
direction.
TIM-ID: 0000059705 - 001

Moving upward to the right
Moving the joystick upward to the right causes the bow thruster to move the bow toward starboard.
Moving upward to the left
TIM-ID: 0000059705 - 001

Moving the joystick upward to the left causes the bow thruster to move the bow toward port.
Moving downward to the right
Moving the joystick downward to the right causes the stern thruster to move the stern toward starboard.
TIM-ID: 0000059705 - 001

Moving downward to the left
Moving the joystick downward to the left causes the stern thruster to move the stern toward port.
