The wiring diagram in Figure 2 shows the loca-tion of each connector along with a referencenumber that is useful to determine the functionslinked to each connector. The first step consists

in determining whether the selected harnesscan be installed on the vehicle, which requiresknowing the number of cylinders fitted on thevehicle.

e-G@S INJECTION is constituted by generalharness with standard automotive connectorsand has been specifically designed to allowmechanical installers to easily connect the har-ness of the system and accurately position thecables.The harness comprises a series of connectors

with a different design and number of electriccontacts to allow them to be uniquely identi-fied. These features minimise potential mista-kes and allow even inexperienced users tocomplete the initial installation of the system.

HARNESS FOR 4- AND 8-CYLINDER ENGINES (LPG\METHANE)e-G@S harness can be used to manage engi-nes with 2-8 cylinders. Harness is available intwo versions that can be respectively used forengines with 2-4 cylinders and 5-8 cylinders.

There are minimum differences between thetwo versions: the first version does not haveconnectors (2,4), while the second one repre-sents the full version of the harness with allconnectors included and must be used forengines with a maximum of 8 cylinders.

The first thing to determine during installation istherefore the type of engine where the GAS(LPG or methane) system will be installed. Thenumber of cylinders of the engine enables todetermine the most suitable harness, which canbe selected using the following table.

Harness for LPG and METHANE

e-G@S INJECTION harness can be used forboth types of fuels chosen for the changeoverand does not require the use of different con-nectors or special configurations. This meansthat it is basically possible to use the sameharness for LPG and METHANE injectionsystems.

The electrical installation differences are mini-

mum because the connections that transmit thecontrol signal to the rear valve on the LPG tankbecome, for methane, the electric connectionthat controls the timing advance processor thatis required for METHANE systems. Due to theabsence of the rear valve on METHANE tanks,it is in fact necessary to use the electric con-nection to control the timing advance processor,when present.

If the level indicator you have purchased froma generic manufacturer requires two wiresonly for connection, it surely is a RESISTIVEsensor. TO connect it to the general harnessof e-G@S, cut the connector and connect thewhite and black wires. Do not connect the redwire, which must be insulated and removed.

Locate the black and white wires referring tothe color coding and the wiring diagram of thesignals (GND, Signal) and connect them tothe sensor on the tank provided by your sup-plier.

CONNECTION:TANK LEVEL SENSOR

Resistive sensor

Locate the sheath that contains the threewires required for the connection of the levelsensor placed on the GAS (LPG / METHANE) tank, which measures the amount of fuelinside the tank.There are substantially 2 typesof commercial level indicators: resistive andpowered.Resistive level indicators only use two of thethree wires in the sheath, while powered sen-sors use all three wires because they need an

external power supply.

The following sections provide both generaland functional connection instructions, divi-ded by type of level indicator.

All models of harness (product codes425.380, 425.381, 425.382 and 425.383 )have an electric termination that groups thethree wires of the level sensor.The sheath hasa specific marking to simplify identification.After locating the cable, it is possible to startconnecting the level indicator.

e-G@S level sensors are fitted as standard

with a connector suitable for general harness. Ifyou are using a generic level sensor, you willhave to use the existing wiring and remove therelevant connector (see following figure) .

Powered sensorAs the name itself suggests, powered sensorsrequire a power supply that supplies voltageto the sensors. System e-G@S is designed toprovide a power supply of +12V, which is isappropriate for most commercial level sen-sors.The power supply is loca-ted in the sheath thatcontains the three wiresfor the level indicator andcorresponds to the redwire.Although mechanicalinstallers must be familiar

with the connection procedures of each typeof level indicator, the following colours arealways used as reference:

Attention: before cutting the wires with scis-sors, disconnect the harness from the powersupply or remove the 56-way harness board fromthe ECU in order not to damage the electronicboard due to short circuits.

CONNECTION:TEMPERATURE SENSOR ON REDUCER (LPG / METHANE)

Installation

The temperature sensor located on the reducer enables to measure the operating temperatu-re of the aluminum body and therefore also to continuously monitor the temperature variationsto which it is exposed.

Installation: locate, on the main harness (product codes 425.380 and 425.381),the 2-way male connector (female plug)and insert it into the connector at the endof the temperature sensor installed in thereducer body (see Figure 5).

The procedure is the same for both LPGand METHANE systems, except for thefact that the reducer of methane modelsdiffers from that of LPG models. The tem-perature sensor is however exactly thesame for both systems.

Figure 5: installation of the temperature sensor (LPG / METHANE)

Figure 6: pressure sensor (LPG / METHANE)

CONNECTION:PRESSURE SENSOR (LPG / METHANE)

The pressure sensor is a differential pres-sure sensor. If installed in LPG or METHA-NE systems, it enables to improve thevehicle carburation following the gas pres-sure variations that occur during normaloperation.

Locate, on the main harness (product codes 425.380 and 425.381), the 3-way male connec-tor (female plug) and connect it to the connector on the pressure sensor following the visualindications provided in Figure 6.

CONNECTION:CHANGEOVER SWITCH (LPG / METHANE)

Figure 7: details of the changeover switch connector

Figure 8: connection of the changeover switch connector

The changeover switch connector shownin Figure 7 can be used for the connectionto the changeover inside the vehicle.

Its correct installation is guaranteed bythe special tab on the connector that ena-bles it to be safely and firmly fixed to thechangeover switch.

This ensures a firm fixing of the switch toelectric terminations and preserves theinstallation over time on board of the vehi-cle.

Locate, on the main harness (productcodes 425.380 and 425.381), the 4-waymicrofit connector, the tab and the fixingpoint on the changeover switch as shownin Figure 8. Changeover button:

The changeover button is located towards the centre and can be pressed to run the vehicle on GASor PETROL or alternatively to toggle between the GAS and Petrol modes.

It pressed, it enables to switch to GAS mode from the PETROL mode or vice versa.

Attention: if you are using a changeover switch with product code 425.375, you will hear anacoustic warning every time you press the changeover switch and the operation is comple-ted. This feature is not however available on changeover switch with product code 425.374.

The ECU software enables to configure anautomatic changeover when the gas tank isempty.

After detecting the absence of pressure in theengine feeding circuit, the software automati-cally switches to the petrol operating mode.The absence of gas is signaled on the chan-geover switch by the lighting of the LED rela-

ted to the petrol operating mode and the blin-king red LED that signals the depletion of gas.

These indicators signal to that the vehicle hasbeen switched to petrol (red LED) because ofthe depletion of the gas in the circuit (blinkingred LED).

Forced GAS starting

Sly injection enables to start running the engi-ne on GAS, LPG or METHANE. After startingthe engine, it is however necessary to main-tain the idle speed in order to allow the engi-ne to reach the optimum operating parame-ters.

Procedure

Before turning the ignition key, press and holdthe button down, then turn the ignition key tostart the vehicle and wait for the engine tostart.

The acquisition of the vehicle injectors signal isvery important and must be performed verycarefully and professionally.

The injectors signal is acquired using the spe-cial harness supplied with KIT e-G@S SLY-INJECTION, which acquires the signal fromthe original vehicle connectors and transmits itto the ECU.

The ECU interprets the injectors signal and

uses it to determine whether to start the vehi-cle engine, stop the petrol flow and feed gasfuel (LPG/METHANE) to the vehicle engine.

To able to acquire the injection time signal, onlyone device is required:

Figure 9: straight harness Figure 10: reversed harness

The injector emulator inside the ECU, which is connected to specific harness, can be used to stop the ope-ration of the injectors and replace them with a dummy load in order to avoid annoying problems like the

lighting of the Check engine indicator.

There are two types of INJECTOR DISCONNECTOR harness:

Straight harnessReversed harness (identified by the red strip on the connector)

To select the harness, follow this procedure:

I - Disconnect ALL the connectors of all the injectors.

II - Switch the vehicle on.

III - Locate the side with +12 V voltage on the disconnected female connectors, as shown in the figures, in order to determine if voltage is supplied to the right or left side of the con-nector. If voltage is supplied to the left side, use the straight harness; if it is supplied to the right side, use the reversed harness.

Figure 9 provides details on how to connectthe injector disconnector harness to theappropriate connector (1,2) on the ECU har-ness (product codes 425.380 and 425.381).

These automotive connectors significantlysimplify the connection procedure while mini-mising potential mistakes. To quickly check if

the installation has been performed correctly,it is sufficient to check that the color codedwires match the terminations with the samecolours on the connectors. In other words, theyellow wire must be connected to the yellowtermination, the green one to the green oneand so on.

This harness differs from other versionsbecause it is does not have the two end con-nectors for each ECU injector. Due to theabsence of the connector, wires are loose andis is therefore necessary to determine theinstallation sequence in order to understandwhich wires must be connected to injectors A,B, C and D.To start, disconnect the original vehicle con-

nectors in order to locate the injector controland injector supply voltage signal. This meansin other words that it is necessary to determi-ne whether the harness is straight or reversein order to correctly perform the required con-nections.Universal injector disconnector harness gene-rally has 9 wires that must be connected asfollows:

The figure on the right shows how to con-nect the injector A of the general harnessto the original petrol injector of the vehicle.

Locate the control signal of the injector, cutthe wire and connect the two ends thatremain after cutting the general harness.

Connect the YELLOW/BLACK wire to thecut wire that returns towards the originalpetrol ECU and the yellow wire to the wirethat returns to the original petrol injector.

This signal can be acquired from one of the power signals of the original vehicle injectors (+12 Volt) or from a traditional point like the fuse box provided that it does not supply voltagewhen the ignition is on.

RG10 LPG reducer/vaporizer

INSTALLING THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS

The RG10 vaporizer/reducer has beenspecifically designed to be used with Sly-Injection.

Its special shape and the geometry of itsducts ensure an efficient thermal exchan-ge, enable to supply high power enginesand maintain the temperature of dischar-ged gas stable.

The LPG passes through a coil inside thevaporizer body and is converted from liquidto gas prior to the reduction of pressure inorder to guarantee a continuous and stabledischarge flow.

The sealing components in Viton of thevaporizer/reducer, designed to handle thegas in gaseous form and at temperaturesabove 0C, significantly reduce maintenan-ce costs and are exposed to less deterio-ration in time.The operating pressure may range from0.6 to 1.8 bar.

PRESSURE SENSOR FOR INJECTION SYSTEMS(e-G@S SLY INJECTION system)

e-G@S SLY INJECTION uses a differentialpressure sensor that is enclosed in a spe-cial aluminum housing designed to protectthe sensor from impacts and high mecha-nical stresses.The housing has two small cylindrical endson one side and an electric connector onthe other side.The two cylindrical ends enable the electro-nic device inside the housing to measureboth the positive pressure on inlet + andthe negative pressure on inlet -.The two cylindrical ends, called acquisi-tion tubes, that project from the aluminumhousing are used to connect the pressuremeasuring tubes, while the harness with

the special 3-wire connector is designed tobe inserted into connector CN5 of theCAB01 harness on the ECU side.The housing and pressure sensor areshown in Figure 10, which also shows thelocation of the differential pressure insidethe aluminum housing. Sealing is guaran-teed by an aluminum cover that completelyseals the housing, leaving only the electricconnection on the outside.

To correctly fit the pressure sensorin place, it is sufficient to observe afew simple instructions:

- Place the pressure sen-sor on the highest pointof the positive pressureoutlet connected to theGAS injector.

- Place the pressure redu-cer vertically with thepressure tubes pointingdownwards (Figure 13)in order to prevent theentrance of contami-nants into the sensordetection points.

INSTRUCTIONS: if the PC calibration ortester interface displays a zero pressure, youmay have accidentally reversed the positiveand negative pressure inlets.

LPG FILTER

The filter placed in between theLPG/METHANE reducer is used to filterthe impurities contained in the LPG orMETHANE.Impurities may originate from differentsources and have different dimensions; forexample they may be constituted by smallmetal fragments released during the instal-lation of the system piping or metal resi-dues present in the supply system.The useof this component further protects the GASinjector guaranteeing a safe and reliableoperation.

The filter does not generally need to befirmly fixed to the vehicle structure nor pro-tected from water sprays or excessiveheat. It is generally installed inside the

system between the LPG/METHANE redu-cer and gas injector group.It is however very important to place the fil-

ter vertically as compared to the ground,being carefully to correctly orient the upperand lower sections. The lower section is fit-ted with a cylindrical unit that contains the

filtering element.When the gas enters the filter fromthe top and passes through the lowercylindrical air space that acts asexpansion vessel, the filtering ele-ment removes the larger contami-nants, leaving the oil and gaseousresiduals on the bottom of the cylin-drical unit. This dual action ensuresthat the gas output from the filterdoes not contain large contaminantsthat could damage the rail injectorsand minimises the presence of oilresiduals and non combustible impu-rities.

The reference in the figure shows theGAS entrance direction: the GASenters from the INLET point of the fil-ter, is discharged from the outlet pointand is then conveyed towards theGAS electronic injectors through a

special pipe.

E-GAS INJECTOR

EXPLODED VIEW OF THE GAS INJECTOR

The INJ01 injector manufactured by E-GAS Srl is designed to power engines with acylinder power of approximately 40 KW (*).Thanks to its extraordinary performances andreliability, this injector also guarantees maximum safety and reliability during changeoverprocedures. Model INJ01 can be used on all ECU models produced by E-GAS Srl,though it is necessary to contact the local office for information on specific requirementsand on the settings of the calibration programs.The following diagram shows the components of this inject and the assembly position.(*) These data may be changed by the manufacturer at any time.

This device enables to create an LPG orMETHANE reservoir and convey it to singleinjectors using connections with pipesapproved for the use of GAS. The gascomes from the reduction stage producedby the reducer, is filtered and then conve-yed to the injector flute (see point 1)through a tube.

After passing through all the locations shown in point 3, the gas reaches the single injec-tors installed close to the engine suction manifold. The ECU then drives the injectors sothat GAS is distributed inside the engine in accordance with the strategies implementedin the software and electronics.

Point 2 is the connection point that can be used for the pressure positive sensor.

Point 4 is the connection point that can be used for the connection of a gas heater that,if present, heats the whole flute through the screw fixture present on its flat area.

INJECTOR GROUP

The injector group is constituted byseveral injectors and in particular by oneinjector for each cylinder.The opening time and sequence of theinjectors are determined by the ECU inreal time by using complex data algo-rithms supplied by the original petrolECU.

INJECTOR G

ROUP


PASSIVE INJECTORS FOR INJECTION SYSEMS

Passive injectors are special metal nozzlesthat have to be installed in the plastic or alu-minum manifold situated close to the petrolinjectors.

Their function is to convey the gas towardsthe suction manifold that is closer to the head,where the air/fuel mixture is injected to allowthe combustion inside the cylinders.The positioning of these special passive injec-tors is one of the most critical steps of theinstallation phase of GAS systems becausetheir location within the collector needs to bechosen very carefully. They should be ideallylocated so that the GAS injection is as closeas possible to the location of the petrol injec-tors, in order to ensure that the engine reac-tions resulting from the GAS injection aresimilar or very similar to those that occurwhen petrol is injected and when the vehicleis running on petrol.It is important to note that this is the greatestor more significant difference between LPG or

METHANE gas and traditional injectionsystems for internal combustion engines, inthat these injection nozzles allow the GAS tobe consistently distributed within the manifold.The fuel is mixed with air in a controlled man-ner within the manifold thanks to the inletdynamics and within the interval of time spe-cified for the original vehicle injection system.In traditional systems, the manifold is insteadfilled continuously and completely with GASfrom an inlet that is placed upstream and thatis generally situated at a large distance fromthe valve inlet. This configuration inevitablysaturates the manifold suction nozzles withfuel mixture causing back flashes in the mani-fold along with severe damage especially ifthe vehicle manifold is made of plastic.

The figure provides a diagram of a section ofan hypothetical suction manifold of an enginewith traditional injection system fitted withpassive injectors installed in the most conve-nient locations.The selection of the injector locations is veryimportant, because their correct installationnot only optimises the system operation butminimises problems during the installation ofKIT e-G@S Injection.

INSTALLATION

Locate the areas on the walls with asmaller thickness and that are situatedas close as possible to the injectionpoint on the plastic or aluminum mani-folds. The positioning of the M6 passiveinjectors is very important both for tech-nical and functional reasons. Therefore,once the drilling point has been chosen,it is important to ensure that the drillingdoes not damage the original compo-nents of the vehicle like moving parts orthe vehicle petrol injectors.

Locate the drilling point for each GASinjector, then drill the holes using a 5mm drill bit. Remember to coat the drillbit with a small amount of grease priorto drilling so that the shavings adhere tothe drill and do not fall into the manifold.

Thread the hole with a 6MA screw tap,remove the dirt or shavings and insertthe passive injectors. During this opera-tion, carefully observe the orientation ofthe passive injectors verifying that thegas exit direction matches the injectiondirection of the originalpetrol injectors. Thesmall moulding alongthe edge of the passi-ve injector identifiesthe exact location ofthe gas exit hole.

Carefully remove allthe shavings producedduring the drilling andthreading operationsbecause their accumu-lation inside the mani-fold could damage theengine. Attention: theaccumulation of sha-vings can be preven-ted by applying a lightcoating of grease to

the drill bit and by frequently removingthe shavings during the drilling andthreading phases.

Carefully screw the passive injectorsusing a thread-locking compound andby inserting a 3.5 mm Allen wrench inthe upper section of the passive injec-tors.

Always verify that the exit hole of thepassive injector faces the suction val-ves (see figure below).

CONNECTING THE LAMBDA PROBE

The connection of a Lambda probe to SLY-INJECTION is an OPTIONAL operationand is not required to run the vehicle onGAS or METHANE.

The connection of the system through theyellow harness wire (refer to theInstallation manual of electric equipmentpin_22 pages 4 and 5) is useful when youneed to observe, during the calibration and

road test, the dynamic behaviour of theLambda probe using the PC or terminalinterface.

The sections that follow briefly describe themost common connectors used on vehi-cles, without specifically referring to theirshape or color.

3-WAY CONNECTORConnect the black wire, LAMBDA signal, ofthe connector to the yellow wire of the har-ness (refer to the Installation manual ofelectric equipment pin_22, pages 4 and 5 ).

4-WAY CONNECTORThe 4-way connector is similar to the oneshown in the figure. It has a LAMBDA signalwire that can be coded with three differentcolours, depending on the vehicle manufac-turer. Regardless of the color, this wire mustalways be connected to the yellow harnesswire (refer to the Installation manual ofelectric equipment pin_22, pages 4 and 5 ).

ATTENTION! The yellow wire must be connected to the wire of the original vehi-cle connector by simply acquiring the signal without interrupting it, that is withoutinterrupting the electric continuity of the original vehicle wire. This ensures thatthe signal is always returned to the original vehicle ECU and does not affect theoperation of the ECU.

CALIBRATING THE E-G@S SLY-INJECTION SYSTEM

The vehicle can be calibrated using a PCgraphical interface, after installing the cali-bration program from the installation discthat can be ordered from the local distribu-tor of SLY-Injection.Insert the CD-ROM into the appropriatedrive. Depending on the PC model, the pro-gram starts automatically and displays awizard with detailed instructions on how tocomplete the desired operation.During installation, it is possible to choosetwo different languages for the wizard thatdisplays all the information you require tocomplete the operation. After the installationof the program, you will also be able tochoose different communication languages

to customize your program after set-up.

A vehicle can be CALIBRATED with fivesimple steps that are described in sequen-ce on the following pages.Perform the steps described following thedisplayed instructions. Please note that du-ring the first three steps, it is important toensure that the vehicle is running on petroland that only the red LED is visible on thechangeover switch.

Step 1: calibration of the engine speedStep 2: calibration of the maximum injection time of the vehicle engineStep 3: selection of the type of fuel used by vehicle through the

(ADVANCED SETTINGS MENU), i.e. LPG or METHANEStep 4: calibration of the vehicle GAS/PETROL conversion constantStep 5: calibration of the GAS vehicle transitions

Important: always verify that the vehicle is running on PETROL before performing stepsfrom 1 to 3 of the calibration procedure.

Step 1: CALIBRATION OF THE ENGINE SPEED

The ENGINE screen, which displaysautomatically when you open the programor when you press the button in the upperleft, displays the vehicle engine data; forexample the GAS pressure, the injectiontime, the reducer temperature, the fuellevel, etc. The layout of the ENGINEscreen is shown in Figure 1 : ENGINEscreen above.The upper central section of Figure 1:ENGINE screen shows the vehicle speed

while it is running, The engine speed is enclosed by two yel-low buttons: - that reduces the enginespeed read by the interface and + thatincreases the engine speed read by theinterface, as shown in Figure 2.

During the first minutes following the vehi-cle start-up and for approximately tenseconds, the system determines whetherto read the speed from the brown wire ofthe general harness or from the vehicleinjection time.If the brown wire has been connected toa valid rpm signal, like the one producedby the vehicle coils or petrol ECU, the pro-gram automatically rebuilds the speedsignal using this connection or otherwiseuses the information provided by the injec-tion signal.

Attention: if you decide not to use thebrown wire, remember to cut it close

to the large 56-way connector of thegeneral harness after installation.

TipCurrent vehicles do not sometimes providea reference for the engine speed on thedashboard. In this case, it is necessary toensure that the engine idle speed displayedranges between 800 and 900 rpm. If anindicator is present on the dashboard, it issufficient to ensure that the data on thedashboard and calibration interface match.

Step 2: CALIBRATION OF THE MAXIMUM INJECTION TIMEOF THE VEHICLE ENGINE

Screen TINJ. MAXcontains two textboxes with a blackbackground that dis-play a scroll text withinformation on theinstant injection time(box TINJ) and themaximum injectiontime measured step by step (box MAX ), asshown in Figure 3.If you slightly press the accelerator pedal,you notice that the maximum injection timedisplays in box MAX.The acquisition system enables you toacquire the maximum injection time with aminimum offset even after one fast accele-ration or when the vehicle is running. Youalso obtain the same results if you start thevehicle at idle speed and accelerate to ahigher gear.After acquiring the maximum injection time,press SAVE to store the results in theECU. If you do not wish to save the results,you can press CLOSE to close the win-dow and return to the (ENGINE) calibrationwindow without saving your data.

Button RESET can instead be used toreset the value of box MAX, but the one ofthe ECU. This button is sometimes usefulto check the maximum injection time calcu-lation several times. Even in this case, youwill need to press SAVE to store theresults.

Attention: button SAVE saves theacquired value and closes the displa-yed window.

In the ACQUISITION OF INJECTIONTIMES window, you can press the yellowbutton in the upper left to open the win-dow where you can calibrate the maximuminjection times. This operation enables todetermine the type of injectors installed onthe vehicle, because the algorithm is auto-matically selected by the program depen-ding on the injectors installed.The base algorithm has a different configu-ration for FULL GROUP, SEMI-SEQUEN-TIAL or SEQUENTIAL INJECTORS, whichensures excellent results for every existingengine configuration.

Attention: the button flashes alternati-vely in yellow and red until you comple-te this calibration step. The buttonstops flashing and permanently lightsin yellow when you press SAVE afterdetermining the maximum injectiontime.

Step 3: SELECTION OF THE FUEL USING THE (ADVANCED SETTINGS MENU), I.E. LPG OR METHANE

Step 4: CALIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE GAS/PETROLCONVERSION CONSTANT

From screen SETTINGS, which can be opened by pressing the button on the upperleft, you can access the screen shown in Figure 4: System Settings. Figure 4.

In the central section of this screen you can select the typeof fuel (the default setting is LPG) by simply clicking LPGor METHANE.The algorithm of SLY-Injection enables to obtain excellentperformances when the correct type of fuel is selected. Ifyou select a different fuel as compared to the one used bythe system, you will not be able to optimize the system.

Step four is essential for the calibration of the vehicle. Therefore, it is important to care-fully read all the following paragraph because it contains important engine informationbesides illustrating the recommended calibration procedure.Before starting the calibration, always verify that the engine is running on petrol and loca-te the section situated next to the lower edge (see Figure 6) in the ENGINE screen (seeFigure 1).

Figure 6: calibration of SLY-INJECTION

The calibration screen displaystwo buttons, and , thatallow you to increase and reduce

the calibration constant in steps of100 every time you press the but-

tons.In this example, the calibration

constant is 1,200.

1) Verify that the vehicle is running on PETROL and wait a few minutes for the engi-ne to reach a stable idle speed and its rated parameters , that is the optimum tem-perature and a stable injection time and speed. Allow the reducer temperature to reachat least 50C.

2) Run the engine at idle speed and disconnect all the accessories connected to theengine like the air conditioning unit and lights, in order to simplify the comparison of theGAS/PETROL injection time.

3)Visually memorise the PETROL injection time in the above-described conditions.

4) Switch to the GAS mode: to perform this operation, you can press the space bar onthe keyboard to allow the system to automatically switch to this mode or the changeoverswitch. The green LEDs of the changeover switch will start to blink. As soon as theseLEDs light, accelerate and decelerate to allow the system to change mode. As soon asthe screen on the right displays LPG and METHANE confirming the change, reduce theengine speed to idle.

5) Check the GAS injection time and perform the necessary adjustments to set thecalibration. If the vehicle is running LEAN after the changeover, which means that theinjection time is greater than the one stored for the PETROL mode in the same load con-ditions (that is without electric fan or sudden loads), you will need to increase the cali-bration constant by pressing ; otherwise press . It is initially advisable to use keys+ and - that enable you to decrease or increase the value in steps of 100 points andsubsequently use the keys of the joystick to fine tune the adjustment. Carefully readthe information contained in Table 1 that provides information on how to adjust the cali-bration constant depending on the lean or rich conditions found. To check the injec-tion time, you need to quickly switch from the GAS to the PETROL mode and vice versausing the spacebar on the keyboard.

Optimum calibration is achieved when,regardless of the operating mode, theinjection time in GAS mode matches thevalue for the PETROL mode.To obtain matching values, it is necessaryto adjust the calibration constant by usingthe +/- buttons to increase or reduce thevalue when the vehicle is running on GASor the PC joystick, which is shown in Figure6.To check the calibration values, usemodern instrumentation like a practicalEOBD tester, which enables to check the

self-adaptive offset of the vehicle and verifythat the variations in the GAS andPETROL modes do not differ significantly.To obtain a good calibration, it is advisableto switch from GAS to PETROL severaltimes, control that the injection time in bothmodes matches and adjust the calibrationconstant as described above.

USING THE JOYSTICK TO CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM

Joysticks available on desktop and porta-ble PC are generally similar to the oneshown in Figure 7.You can use a joystick with SLJ-Injection,when screen ENGINE shown in Figure 1displays, to fine tune the system by usingbuttons 1 and 2 to increase or reduce thecalibration constant by 10 points at a time.

This parameter is useful to improve thevehicle response to sudden accelerationswhen the vehicle is in use. By changing thevalue on the vertical bar of the calibrationscreen you can increase up to a maximumof 120% and reduce down to a minimum of0% the attenuation of the GAS injectorresponse.The more you increase this value and thesmaller is the amount of gas suppliedduring transitions. If you use buttons 3 and4 of the joystick, you can increase or redu-ce the attenuation by 5 points at a time.

As a general rule this variable can beeasily configured when the vehicle is run-ning by starting the engine at low speedand accelerating.Although the optimum value cannot bedetermined automatically, it is possible tocan find it by observing the Lambda valueand determining the drivability of thevehicle or using an EOBD tester.

Please remember that all vehicles tend toreact with a RICH Lambda after suddenaccelerations. Therefore, it is important notto set an excessively lean value in theseconditions.

In doubt, determine the values taking intoaccount the fuel used as shown below:

SLY-Injection enables you to calibrate thetransitions in terms of engine response byusing the vertical slide shown in Figure 8.

Transitions are expressed in percentagevalues. Therefore a large value indicates

an attenuation in terms of gas fuel supply.

It is important to pay specific attention tothe configuration of the LEDs on the chan-geover switch and of the maximum/mini-mum levels of the tank indicator.e-G@S can be used both with poweredand non powered sensors and with straightand reversed sensors. Pane Current levelshows the tank fuel level measured at aspecific time, while panes MAX and MINrespectively show the maximum and mini-mum level of the selected sensor.The figure above shows, next to each LED(green or red), the percentage of fuel pre-sent in the tank to which the ignitionsystem is connected.

ExampleWhen the tank is full, all the four LEDs onthe changeover switch are on. When thelevel falls below 56%, the fourth LED onthe changeover switch turns off, while theremaining three green LEDs remain on toindicate that the level of fuel in the tank isequivalent to 56% of the total capacity. Thethird LED on the changeover switchremains on until the fuel level falls below22% and so on until the reserve value isreached.This value indicates the total fuel level isbelow 5% of the total tank capacity, a con-dition that is also signaled by the lighting ofan intermittent red LED on the changeoverswitch.To complete the tank configuration, you

need to set the maximum and minimumvalues for the tank level, which changedepending on models and sometimes evenfor the same model.To help installers perform this operation, e-G@S has developed a self-learning soft-ware that is able to acquire the maximumand minimum levels read by the tank sen-sor during the use of the vehicle respecti-vely after the first refueling and the firsttime the vehicle is left without GAS.The software basically configures the opti-mum values during the first vacuum andfull load condition of the vehicle.

How to set the MAXIMUM and MINIMUMvalues manually To set the values manually, right click theblank screen that displays the MINIMUM orMAXIMUM values, wait for the background toturn to red and enter the desired minimumand maximum value from the keyboard.After entering the desired value, pressENTER to confirm the entry. The back-ground of the box turns to white.

The figure above shows, next to each LED(green or red), the percentage of fuel presentin the tank to which the ignition system is con-nected.

How to configure percentage values

ExampleWhen the tank is full, all the four LEDs on thechangeover switch are on. When the level fallsbelow 56%, the fourth LED on the changeoverswitch turns off, while the remaining threegreen LEDs remain on to indicate that thelevel of fuel in the tank is equivalent to 56% ofthe total capacity. The third LED on the chan-geover switch remains on until the fuel levelfalls below 22% and so on until the reservevalue is reached.This value indicates the total fuel level isbelow 5% of the total tank capacity, a condi-tion that is also signaled by the lighting of anintermittent red LED on the changeoverswitch.

GAS MENU

DATA LOG and TIME LOG are two new features that can be used to store a date in day,month and year format and to memorise the actual operating time of the vehicle whenrunning on gas.

When the GAS ECU has not yet been initialised, that is during the initial usage period,the gas DATE and TIME blink until the ECU is initialised at least one time from the cor-responding menu.

(RESET DATE) INITIALIZE DATE:If you are using a PC, you can perform this operation through the Gas Menu in the upperleft section of the toolbar, under option Settings as shown in the following figure.

Click RESET DATE LAST CHECK with the left button of the mouse to save the value inthe ECU and set a specific time reference.

This date, which can be used as reference, can either be the date of the last ordinarymaintenance operation or the date of a specific event.

(RESET TIME) INIZIALITIZE TIMEIn the same menu you can also select RESET TIME ON GAS, to allow the most recentversions of the software and ECU to automatically store the elapsed time in hours andminutes when the vehicle is running on gas. If you press RESET TIME ON GAS, you canreset the counter and start from zero. You can use this option at any time to effectivelymonitor the minutes and hours during which the vehicle has been running on gas.

CONTROLLING THE LAMBDA SIGNAL

The Lambda control performed by the e-GAS ECU software is based on short and longterm considerations and aims at optimising the carburation of the vehicle when it is run-ning on methane with low and medium engine loads and with high engine loads that cor-responds to the power operation of the vehicle.

The trend of the analog signal produced by the Lambda probe is read and interpretedusing two specific algorithms that analyze the waveform of the signal produced by thevehicle probe.

The aim of the analysis is to identify the two specific operating areas that describe thebehaviour of the vehicle in OPEN-LOOP and CLOSED-LOOP mode.

The underlying idea is to convert the petrol operating logic into a similar logic when thevehicle is running on methane gas.

The system divides the global behaviour of the vehicle into two specific operating areasdepending on the engine load.

When the engine load is low or average, the vehicle is expected to operate with a car-buration that continuously searches for the Lambda-ONE value, so that it is always withinthe official standards specified by the manufacturer.

The software supports several types of Lambda probes and enables the user to use thecalibration software with the ECU core value to set the average value of the Lambdasignal that represents value LAMBDA ONE.

This consequently enables the user to find the optimum carburation with low andmedium loads in accordance with the optimum search specifications set for carburation.The software also enables to calibrate the Lambda value to search in the high load orOPEN-LOOP area.

This option ensures an optimum carburation setting based on the settings specified bythe user, who can set the desired Lambda value that the software has to search whenthe vehicle is running on gas and in the OPEN-LOOP in order to optimize consumption,guarantee compliance with standards and closely monitor the engine temperature.

CLOSED - LOOP

The following figure shows a typical Lambda signal during the engine monitoring phase.The signal alternates between a rich area 1 and a lean area 2, oscillating within therange of the max and min Lambda signals.The average value between the maximum and minimum limits is the ideal changeoverthreshold, that is the threshold where the LAMBDA changeover should occur if the chan-geover is performed correctly.

Lambda algorithm settings

The following section explains how to the set the components of the LAMBDA algo-rithm.

The aim of this chart is to allow the user to immediately understand the behaviour of thevehicle Lambda signal when the vehicle is running on gas and petrol.

the Lambda values read by the EGAS ECU and displayed in point 9 are always withinthe correct range defined by the vehicle manufacturer.EGAS enables to search for the value corresponding to Lambda one without setting aminimum and maximum value.

The box in point 0 displays the Lambda values (in millivolts) that correspond to the yel-low signal wire of the general KIT SLY-INJECTION harness. However, the user has to setin box of point 7 the electric value in millivolts that corresponds to the value of Lambda1.

If this value is not available, perform the following procedure:

1- Set the vehicle in Petrol mode.2- Enter in the box of point 7 a value that ensure a perfect distribution of the red andgreen bars on the chart, as explained in point 1. The green bars correspond to electricvalues that are above those entered in the box in point 7, while the red bars representlower values. Therefore, the electric value inserted in the box of point 7 is the electricvalue of the probe that corresponds to Lambda1, that is the stoichiometric value of a cor-rect carburation.3- The operation is now completed.

Electric Lambda value in Closed LOOP mode corresponding to LAMBDA1 (POINT 7)

Enter in the corresponding text box the electric Lambda value that corresponds toLAMBDA 1, which is turn equivalent to the stoichiometric value of a correct carburation.

Electric Lambda value in Open LOOP mode corresponding to LAMBDA1 (POINT 8)

Enter in the corresponding text box the Lambda electric value in that corresponds to theLambda value of the vehicle running at full power. To search for the value to enter, per-form the following procedure:

1- Set the vehicle in Petrol mode.2- Drive the vehicle along the road and accelerate with a high year to place the vehiclein maximum load conditions. Then, check that the electric value specified in point 9 cor-responds to the maximum value and enter a value decreased by 20% for LPG and by40% for methane in the box of POINT 9.3- The operation is now completed.

Type of probe (POINT 5)

Displays the type of Lambda probe installed.

- VOLTAGE: indicates that the probe is a traditional one with one, two, three or four wires.- CURRENT: indicates that the probe has five wires, which optimises the measurementof the parameters. It is important to remember that if this probe is installed on the vehi-cle, the yellow wire of the KIT SLY-INJECTION harness does not have to be connectedbecause the displayed values cannot be read by electric systems. The actual connectionof the probe could alter the information transmitted to the PETROL ECU.If the probe is a current model probe, the vehicle is quite recent and it is therefore pos-sible to use KIT EOBD, which does not require direct connections to the vehicle currentprobe for reading purposes (that is it does not require the connection of the yellow wire).

Enabling of the Lambda signal control (POINT)

- Enable Lambda signal control: if this control is enabled, the program uses the ECUalgorithms to obtain the configurations set in points 7 and 8.- Disable Lambda signal control: the algorithms are not used and the system does notcontrol the Lambda signal.

Straight or reversed PROBE (POINT 3)

- Straight probe: ordinary probe; higher values indicate that the fuel is rich, lower onesthat it is lean (98%).- Reversed probe: special probe; higher values indicate that the fuel is lean while theminimum values indicate that the carburation is lean.
