NOTES
The software program described in this manual applies to
different types of ECU.
NS, The software automatically recognises the connected ECU
TO USE THE NEW FUNCTIO by means of firmware that is loaded by the manufacturer
NE-
SOFTWARE VERSION 2.16.8 during the initial programming stage.
EDS THE FIRMWARE BELO W:
Certain program windows and functions are only visible/
LRE194_#00371.plr available on some versions of ECUs. In such cases, the
words LSI PRIME or LSI ONE appear alongside the function
LRE198_#00361.pln as do the customised icons that identify this latest version.
EVO_#00470.ple
As regards the LSI PRIME LRE184 -188 ECUs, refer also to
OR LATER UPDATES previous software manuals “Omegas 2.6.4” or earlier.

The LSI ONE version can be installed on 2-3-4 normally


aspirated and turbocharged cylinder engines.
The MAP sensor that comes with the unit must always be
fitted.
At present, the combined injectors are series “AEB and Lo-
vato J-K” with various types of calibrated nozzles.
The field of application is described in the “Component In-
stallation Manual”.

A range of minimum/maximum settings is available for se-


lection.
WARNING if you enter a value that is outside the range, the
maximum or minimum applicable value will be saved, not
the previously set value and no warning window will appear.

The boxes and drop-down menu open together when you


press the button for the box.

To activate any changes made to the program, press “En-


ter”.
The parameters in “RED” can be changed only if the ignition
is OFF as the software string at the bottom of the “F1 Ve-
hicle Configuration window; “F1 Gas change over” reminds
us.
To correctly save changes to the parameters in “RED” made
with the engine running, you need to:
- switch the engine off;
- wait until the switch is OFF (if delayed ignition);
- re-start the engine.

FUNCTIONS NOT DISPLAYED IN THE SOFTWARE

Emergency start function (can be set “in acceleration” or “in deceleration”).


The gas system allows an “emergency start” system to be implemented in the event of problems
with the petrol feed system (i.e.: out of petrol, broken petrol pump, etc..)
Customers must be aware however that this option can only be used for a maximum number of
10 times.
To start the engine on gas:
• turn the vehicle ignition key on and wait until the dashboard lights up (for vehicles with key cards
“insert the card”);
• hold the switch button down for at least 5 seconds without starting the engine (at this point,
the green led will come on);
• start the engine.
The engine will now start on gas.

To zero the number of emergency starts performed, press “Zero errors” in the “F3 DIAGNOSIS”
WINDOW.

* Emergency starts can only take place with the ignition on. When the dashboard lights up, the
switch has to stay lit for the time needed for the emergency start procedure to take effect.

the signal amplifier.


Note
1 The WEAK setting must be selected when rpm signals are
sent to the ignition coil amplifier transistor. Use STANDARD
for connection to the negative pole of the ignition coil with
two wires.
Although either of the above settings can be used in the
event of connecting to the tachometer, the WEAK SIGNAL
G setting is preferable.
With signals of less than 2V (only LSI ONE), an extra signal
I
amplifier will have to be fitted.

G When you untick the function, a message appears in-


LSI ONE

forming you that the “brown” wire must remain disconnec-

culate the engine regime starting from the time the engine
J speed data is input.
Select SINGLE COIL if the engine has a coil for every cylin-
der and if the signal is taken from the negative or transistor
on the coil.
Select DOUBLE COIL if the engine has a coil that feeds
two cylinders and if the signal is taken from the negative or
transistor on the coil.
Note: you may need to make this selection for some engi-
nes with one coil per cylinder.
Use Rev-counter for other cases.
2 Select Rev-counter 2 if the revs displayed in the “Revs”
setting are double the actual speed.

J Type of change over:


• In acceleration, the number of engine revs must exceed
the previously set threshold which is mentioned later
(Rev threshold for change-over);
• In deceleration, the system must recognise an engine
speed that is greater than the value set in “Fuel change
rpm threshold” and the petrol cut-off condition.
Note - The choice of these headings may be dictated by the characteristics of the engine (see FUNCTIONS NOT DI-
SPLAYED IN THE SOFTWARE” in the chapter “NOTES”).

• When you select “Start on gas”, the “Fuel Change RPM


Threshold” message disappears and the engine starts
on gas with no need to follow the emergency start pro-
cedure with the switch.
WARNING we recommend the use of this selection only for real engine problems while running on gas and even then,
only for a very limited period of time. LANDI RENZO S.p.A. will not accept any responsibility for damage caused by use
of this function (see FUNCTIONS NOT DISPLAYED IN THE SOFTWARE” in the chapter “NOTES”).

• Select Monofuel for engines that run exclusively on gas


fuels. When you select this function, a message 2
will appear and the “Fuel change rpm threshold” mes-
sage will vanish.
- Once the system recognises ignition, it instantly goes to
gas mode and disables all petrol functions;
- When the engine starts, the gas injectors are activated
immediately without waiting for rpm threshold.

K Rev threshold for change-over: (range 550-3000


rpm): minimum rpm above which fuel change occurs. De-
fault setting 1600rpm.
K
L Water temperature for change-over: (range 40-90
L °C) Together with the fuel change rpm threshold, this para-
M meter is evaluated by the ECU for changing the fuel feed
from petrol to gas.

M Start on gas with hot engine (range 50-90°C): select


the heading and set the water temperature above which the
engine will be fed directly with gas at start-up.

Note - for Valvetronic/Start & Stop - is normal for the sy-


stem to enable the safety function when there are no rpm

the change in fuel source occurs when, once the set time
has elapsed, the following conditions are available:
“Type of change over”; “Rev threshold for change-over”;
”Water temperature for change-over”.
This delay can be managed by means of a message that
lets you associate a delay of between 5 and 300 seconds
with a determined temperature.
At start-up, the ECU detects the temperature of the engine
coolant.

U tors); on the sensor placed in series to the low pressure gas
pipe (for the OMEGAS - EVO system) or on the sensor on
V
the gas filter (for systems with Keihin injectors). When the
ignition is switched on, the ECU detects gas temperature
and enables the passage from petrol to gas once the preset
time delay has elapsed and once the conditions related to
type of change and fuel change rpm thresholds have been
verified.

Press the message cells “(sec)”, a modification window will


appear then select the mode you want:

added to or subtracted from the value expressed as a per-
centage in the cell.

T Overlapping times (range 0 - 2”);


Overlap occurs when the petrol injectors and gas solenoids
are open at the same time. The purpose of this occurrence
is to allow gas to flow into the regulator/injectors and to pre-
vent any post-change irregularities in the engine.
Note - It is usually not necessary to change the setting from
“0” except in sporadic cases.

U Max petrol inj time for gas change-over: (range “2


- 20”, default 12 ms), this parameter is the petrol injection
time above which a change to gas is temporarily disabled. It
prevents jerky changes to gas under acceleration.

F Initial emulation delay: this is the period of delay that


occurs between the change to gas and emulation starting.
The note under the message indicates that if you want to
set the strategy, the value must be a setting other than “0”.

G Exit cut-off leaning (range: -100;100), parameter as-


sociated with “Leaning number injections”.
The number is expressed as a percentage of the lean/rich
mapping system readings when the ECU exits from the en-
gine cut-off stage.

H Leaning number injections (range: 0; 255), this is the


number of injectors undergoing percentage changes com-
pared with mapping system values..
Note - this function can be useful when the engine stops or
tends to stop on when going back to idle due to a mixture
that is too rich or too lean. It can also be used to rectify
emissions in the event of excessive “HC”.

A Type of gas level sensor: This allows you to set the


type of gas sensor that has been fitted.
The following gas level sensors can be set:
• A.E.B.;
• 0 - 90 ohm;
• Landi Renzo;
• Sensata HD
• Non standard;
• Non-standard inverted.
“Landi Renzo” default setting.
For preset sensors: The fuel level thresholds have already
been loaded in the program for AEB, 0-90ohm, Landi Renzo
and Sensata HD sensors.
Selecting NON STANDARD” or “NON STANDARD INVER-
TED” lets you customise the settings by the type of gas level
sensor used and select suitable thresholds in ascending or
descending order in the boxes:“Reserve”; “1/4”; “2/4“;”3/4“.

To save the value you have selected, press “Enter” (as men-
tioned earlier in “Notes” on page 3). When you have com-
pleted the sequence press “Accept”.
As an alternative, the switch LED thresholds can be set with
the following procedure:
*) With the fuel tank empty, put in the amount of fuel you
want to consider as the “Reserve” level;
*) connect the ECU then turn the switch to “Petrol”;
*) press 1 “Set min level” (a number will appear alongsi-
de);
*) fill the fuel tank up to the top;
*) press 2 “Set max level” (a number will appear alongsi-
de);
*) Press 3 “Find levels”, the will automatically calculate
the intermediate levels and show them in the boxes above;
*) press 4 “Accept” to save the data.
Note
If you make any mistakes in the procedure, drop down me-

K 1 - WITH THE KEY ON, the gas ECU reads the voltage
from the sensor and associates it with 1 bar (atmospheric
pressure)
2 - At 3000 rpm, the change from petrol to gas takes
place
3 - At IDLE, the gas ECU reads the voltage from the sen-
sor and associates it with the MAP pressure
(= Gas pressure at injector unit – P regulator).

A This is the main carburretion map and the three main


variables are:
- RPM in X coordinate
- Petrol Tinj in Y coordinate
- K Coefficient in the cells
The gas injection time computing sequence is obtained
from:
• petrol injection time;
• petrol injector in-between time;
• gas injector in-between time;
• K coefficient of map;
B • gas pressure compensation;
• water temperature compensation;
• gas temperature compensation.

B Modify map refs.: the following mapping break points


can be modified:
- RPM (range: 200 - 8000)
- Injection times (range: 0 - 40 ms)
To optimise fuel mix mapping, we recommend limiting the
values to suit the characteristics of the engine by identifying
the maximum engine speed and maximum petrol injection
time.
Note - Carry out these modifications before calibrating the
system. Variations to parameters following calibration may
cause incorrect carburretion.
C C Start calibration: This key lets you start manual point
to point calibration. This calibration system is explained in

bration”.

LSI PRIME
or 2 (compared with previous software versions where a
specific firmware version had to be used). This system can
be applied when the median values of the mapping system
appear very high (over 230-240) following auto-calibration
and despite this, the fuel mix remains lean. Following appli-
cation of this strategy, auto-calibration MUST be repeated.
Note
Use of this strategy is only advised if you are already using
the biggest injector size available. Otherwise, use a bigger
F size of injector.

LSI ONE F Setting of the multiplication factor occurs automatical-


ly during auto-calibration and can neither be seen nor ma-
nually modified. The P1 and P2 parameters and respective
“T; inj; and “K” refer to two points that are interpolated to ob-
tain the correct “K factor” and represent the possible range
in line with injection times. In practice, if the injection time
is less than P1, the program takes the “K factor” value corresponding with P1. Between P1 and P2, it interpolates the
“K factor” value on the straight line that passes through both points. If the “T.inj” is greater than P2, the “K factor” of P2
will be taken.
Note - we recommend that you leave the default settings unaltered.

I Pressure, J Diff pressure: These are the correc-
tions expressed as percentages that are used to correct the
fuel mix every time there is a shift from nominal mapping
H conditions (Water T >70°C, Nominal gas pressure and Gas
T = 50°C).
They consist respectively of values for temperature and
pressure and of a positive or negative corrective value ex-
I pressed as a percentage.

The pressure correction linearly interpolates the correction


values between two successive values whereas the two
temperature corrections are structured at the thresholds
I
(logic “up to x°C”). The cells temperature and pressure re-
ference cells (in blue) can be modified as can the correction

pears on selection 4 .
Note - the default settings are obtained from the laws of
physics, any variation of these values may compromise the
system.
Note - In the EVO version of the program, the absolute
3,600 pressure correction value is usually displayed.
The “Pressure diff” string is only visible if Landi 2.0, AEB,
Lovato J-K injectors are set in “F1 gas change”. Again with
4 this injector setting, the “Pressure” string has no function.

Petrol injector dead time; Gas injector dead time : The-
se are two characteristic parameters regarding injectors
and serve to compensate for any delays the opening and

It is possible to differentiate between main injections (range
0-5”) and extra injections (range 0-5”) as in the latter case,
non-linear performance from the gas injector is to be ex-

L Times +: The gas in-between injection time is the diffe-

LSI PRIME

Rpm for filtering (rpm) (function combined with “K filter”). Use the two cells to set the rpm cut-off value (up to: “X”
RPM; above: “X” RPM) the set regime comes into play. The strategy is not active.
K filter: (range 0-255; default 128) the default value matches the corresponding value in the map cell. In practice, the
map values are split into 256 parts.
By decreasing this value e.g. to “115” in the “up to” column, the mix becomes about 10% leaner up to 1200 rpm.
By increasing this value e.g. to “150” in the “above” column, the mix becomes about 17% richer above 4500 rpm.
T.inj. threshold for filtering: (range 0-5 m”, default 0.6 m”). The value above which the strategy intervenes.
Note - This strategy is used under acceleration (transitory states) when the map values do not allow linear power
distribution unlike functioning at constant load and speed where the map values are correct. An example would be to
make acceleration linear with engines running on methane.

N Correction bar: allows the progress of correction to-


N wards optimal fuel mix to be displayed, in other words: the
bar shows the variation in petrol injection time (acquired
before changeover) while running on gas.
The bar is BLUE when running on gas and RED on petrol.
Use of the correction bar is explained in more detail in the
paragraph entitled “Fine-tuning carburretion mapping”
in “F4 Automatic calibration”.

The ECU uses the Peak and Hold technique to command


A
the injectors. This consists of supplying a high voltage (12V)
for a few milliseconds, after which power to the injector is
cut off then restored through a maintenance current for the
remainder of the injection time.
Injectors that need saturation commands are not compati-

Note
- do not use this strategy in the presence of powered Lam-
bda probes (might cause the “Check engine” warning light

O
jection: by default the check is disabled and therefore the
return to petrol for continuous injection is also disabled even
if the injection time exceeds the time of the engine cycle.
P Note - This option has been inherited from the previous SW
program (used exclusively with 184-188 ECUs that were
unable to operate gas/petrol mixes at high rpm/engine lo-
ads). Although 194-198 ECUs keep this functionality unalte-
red, they lose usefulness in that the ”automatic petrol con-
tribution at high rpm” allows the engine to run on gas and
to inject some petrol to make up for the lack of gas if the
injection time needed for correct running is greater than the
time available for injection.
When you enable this function, the following appears:

P Continuous inj. time for Petrol switch back (range


0-5s): in the case of continuous petrol injection (continuous
injection is detected if the injection time is longer than the
time between two TDCs), a strategy for managing gas injec-
tion time cuts in.
Q In practice, the gas injection time will be calculated by giving
R the computing sequence a petrol time equal to the engine
cycle i.e. the time between two consecutive combustions of
the same cylinder and by using the value of the last map-
S ping coefficient (12th line, 12th column). If the time of the
T cycle is greater than the maximum calibrated petrol injection
time, this will be used to calculate the gas injection time.
U
Q Enabling the manual injection sequence: Checking
this item allows you to set an association between petrol
injectors (or better, between the signal from the correspon-
ding injection cut-off cable) and the matching gas injectors.
This item is disabled by default therefore the association is
direct (same cylinder).
With the engine running on petrol, press S Get petrol
injection sequence: the ECU will detect the injection se-
quence.
WARNING In R Petrol injection sequence: the values
are shown in red! This means that once the association has
been acquired (while running on petrol) you will need to stop
then re-start the engine.
Note - the ECU manages error controls and we therefore
recommend acquiring the sequence with the engine idling
where extra injections do not usually occur.

The example below proposes advancing by 1 injection with


the sequence detected being 1342 (ACDB).
We can see that petrol injector “A” activates gas injector “C”
(that is the next injector in sequence); petrol injector “B” ac-
tivates gas injector “A” (that is the next injector in sequence)
and so on.
- cyl petrol: ACDB
- cyl gas: CDBA
If you want to advance by two injections, the table is as fol-
lows (always with the ACDB sequence):
- cyl petrol: ACDB
- cyl gas: DBAC

V Enrichment in acceleration: (range -50; 50): the

LSI ONE
maximum default setting (50) leaves the fuel mix mapping
unaltered (corresponding with the window “Tip IN” in “F7 K
V insertion” for Omegas ECUs).
Lowering this value decreases the petrol injection times
read during transitory states compared with the standard
values that are used to define gas injection times.
Note - this strategy is useful for engines running on metha-
ne that, under acceleration, do not have optimal power di-
stribution characteristics (due to an over-rich mix).

W Weakening on MazdaTM (range: 0;-50): this acts as


a corrector strategy that modifies the fuel mix “to a false
lean mix” (there is a minus sign in front of it) in situations
where multiple injections are detected in the same engine
revolution.
In practice: if in addition to the main injection on one cylin-
der, a second injection is detected that is close to half of
the time that remains until the next injection the “K value”
measured on the mapping will be decreased in percentage
to the value set in this cell.

The reference to MazdaTM is simply because the first time


that changeover conditions from “sequential” to “full group”
injections (2 injections to the same cylinder during the same
engine revolution ) were detected, it was on a Mazda engi-
ne.
If this setting is not changed, in the event of changing from
“sequential” to “full group injection”, the engine would run
have an “too rich”.

F9 Autocalibration

B
C
D

This page sets several key parameters for the auto-calibration procedure:
A Autocalibration RPM: (range 500;3500); this is the engine speed at which auto-calibration should be carried out.
During auto-calibration, the degree of tolerance is ± 300 RPM (e.g. at 3000 rpm, the range is from 2700 to 3300).

B Water temperature for autocalibration: (range 20;80); this is the water temperature threshold that must be exce-
eded to allow the AUTO-CALIBRATION PROCEDURE TO BEGIN.
Note - it is best to carry out the auto-calibration procedure at an operating temperature of no less than 70°C.

C Petrol injection time tolerance: (range 0.02;1); this is the tolerance accepted as the variation to petrol injection
time following switching to gas during auto-calibration.

D Changing nominal petrol injection time: (range 0;1); this is an offset that can be used to set the petrol injection
time around which calibration may be necessary.
Example on petrol at 3000 rpm, the petrol injection time is “2.3 ms”; the value set in the cell is “0.2ms”, the program adds
2.3+0.2; the new objective in changing to gas should be 2.5±0.1ms;

E Default injection times at 3000 rpm (ms): this is the actuated injection time (LPG and CNG depending on the
individual cylinder cubic capacity), at the first switch to gas during the auto-calibration ante procedure. If this time is
similar to the real time, the automatic calibration will be less complex.

A Sequential fuel changeover: this function allows the


switch from petrol to gas to be performed gradually. The
petrol/gas injectors will be gradually deactivated one by one
every 5 injections. This strategy allows a smooth passage
from petrol to gas.
A
B Automatic petrol contribution at high rpm: this ena-
bles the function when gas injection times exceed the maxi-
B mum time needed for injection. any missing gas is supple-
mented by petrol.
Some program versions have this function enabled by de-
fault.

Operation at idle:
C Gas: At idle speed, the runs on just gas.

E feeds the engine with 20 injections of petrol then goes back
to gas automatically.

LPG - TURBO Q 0-25%, a modification window appears in which, 7


with reference to gas pressure, you can set the percentage
CNG - ASPIRATED of petrol you want to inject to replace gas (range 0-25%).
The ECU reads the pressure and up-dates the percentage
CNG - TURBO of the “split” to apply every 20ms.
Different pressure default settings are based on the para-
meters set in “F1 Gas Change”, “Fuel” (LPG/Methane) and
“Engine Type” (Normally aspirated/Turbo).
Note - the value of the percentage entered is the number of petrol injections to an individual cylinder for every 100 overall
injections to that same cylinder. The ECU injects petrol cyclically to one cylinder at a time. With this parameterisation
and the maximum “split” percentage, a cylinder will always be supplied with petrol.
The example shows settings of 19 and 25% of the “split” percentage
In the “Enter values” section, select

Example
with a setting of 10%, only one cylinder at a time is gradually supplied with petrol (red square) for 10 injections, then just
gas is injected for the remaining 90 injections to each individual cylinder;

• The Omegas 2.16.3 program (or later) manages calibration using data from the engine management system K
line or CAN. This allows the ECU to adapt over time (within certain limits) to changes in conditions to the installed
system.
• At the moment, auto-adaptivity can be used with petrol ECUs fitted with an OBD connection (from EURO on) that
have standard FAST and SLOW integrators i.e. with reference to zero and that have upper limits of ±25% and ±50%.
• Once the electrical connections have been made, The PC software displays the fast and slow petrol ECU “correc-
tors” (see section “F7 Enter K) thus avoiding the use of a second device for showing these parameters.
• The vehicle must be correctly mapped without auto-adaptivity with the auto-calibration procedure and correct car-
burretion must also be confirmed.

Electrical connections:
Use the cables available in the gas wiring harness for the connections based on the type of line present on the vehicle
(connection types 1-2-3, line K; connection type 6-7-8-9, CAN).
The wires to have electrical connections are easily identified near the original vehicle OBD connector.
Connect the corresponding wire to the OBD socket after which you need to set the type of connection so that the gas
ECU can receive data from the petrol system.

Type of petrol trimmers


Procedure to identify if the petrol ECU correctors are “right” D or “in-
verted” E .
Conditions:
• adaptivity disabled and ECU correctly calibrated;
• positions itself at idle with engine running on gas;
• decrease the area on the map where the ball is hovering by 5-10 points;
• Check if the petrol ECU fast and slow correctors go to positive values
shift to “straight” (as shown by the words: if carburretion is lean then
positive correctors); if they go to negative values shift to “inverted” (as
shown by the words: of carburretion is lean, then negative correctors);
• ONCE THE TYPE OF CORRECTOR HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, RE-
SET THE AREA OF THE MAP THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY CHANGED
BACK TO THE ORIGINAL VALUES.

F Adaptivity sensitivity (range 100;200): Increasing the


F value decreases the time that the ECU takes to handle the
correction in adaptivity.

Operation

Once the electrical adaptivity connections have been made,


E the adaptivity function will not work if “OBD (A) Adaptivity”
is not selected. The window will up-date asking you to se-
lect the type of petrol corrector (“C” or “D”) and displays the
adaptivity sensitivity (“E”).
Once connected, the software in the “F7 Insertion K” drop-
down window “Correctors” (in “F1 vehicle configuration”) will
show the fast and slow correctors of the petrol ECU. This
delay is to avoid conflicts if an OBD diagnostic tester is con-
nected at the same time as it will always have precedence
over OBD communication with the gas ECU.

Note
If after the idle area has been modified, the petrol correctors
do not change, this implies the presence of other hidden pe-
trol connectors that take on the change that has been made.
In this case, change the modified idle setting back to its ori-
ginal value, wait a few minutes then repeat the idle area
modification (decrease by 5-10 points). Note that the fast
petrol corrector will shift by a few pints for several seconds
and will then return to its original value: if the shift is towards
the positive sign, this means that the correctors are straight.
Otherwise they are inverted.

Auto-adaptivity
When the coefficient (gas corrector “E”) is activated for the
first time, it will only shift by a few percentage points and
only over time and when necessary will it take on different
values to change the gas mapping and thus the gas ECU.

There are two gas correctors: one acts at idle and the other
at other engine speeds. Depending of the area of mapping
involved, the corrector in use at that moment will be applied.
There is also an Open Loop state in which the square around
the word “Correctors” (“n”) is coloured red. In this state, the
gas corrector remains locked at the value detected at the
time the Open Loop state began.

The operational diagnosis page shows possible component and system malfunctions that can occur while the engine is
running on gas. If an “error” is displayed, once you have resolved the problem that caused it, you can reset using the
“reset error” button D . The “Reset errors” key also cancels the emergency start counter (see “NOTES” section Emer-
gency start function).The detectable malfunctions are as follows:

• ECU SELF-DIAGNOSIS: an error message appears if a voltage greater than 6 volts is detected for more than 150
seconds downstream of the ECU internal relay with the ignition OFF. This situation matches a “stuck” relay. A dia-
gnostic error message also appears if a voltage of less than 6 volts is detected for more than 5 seconds downstream
of the relay with the engine running.

• GAS INJECTORS: an error message appears for a specific injector if open or short circuit situations are detected
consecutively for a certain number of injections (10) on that injector’s coil.

• LOW PRESSURE: while operating on gas, an error is saved if the gas levels drops below reserve (1 or more LEDs
lit on the switch) and if the pressure reading stays at a level of less than 250 mV (value that only applies if the sensor
is disconnected) for a certain time (3 seconds).

• HIGH PRESSURE: while running on gas, an error message appears if the pressure reading stays at a lower level
that that of the last correction vector value + 300 mbar for a certain time (5 seconds).

• ENGINE TEMP. NOT CONNECTED: only available of the “Enable fuel change with water temperature” function
has been enabled on the Temperature page. The diagnosis function activates if no signal comes from the vehicle or
optional temperature sensor for 10 seconds.

• LOW ENGINE TEMP: the diagnosis function activates if the ECU reads a temperature that is lower than the value
set alongside the software string for 10 seconds.

• HIGH ENGINE TEMP: The diagnosis function activates if the ECU reads a temperature that is higher than the value
set alongside the software string for 10 seconds.

• GAS TEMPERATURE NOT CONNECTED: the diagnosis function activates if no signal is detected coming from the
gas temperature sensor on the gas low pressure line for 10 seconds.

• LOW GAS TEMP.: the diagnosis function activates if the ECU reads a gas temperature that is lower than the value
set alongside the software string for 10 seconds.

• HIGH GAS TEMP: the diagnosis function activates if the ECU reads a gas temperature that is higher than the value
set alongside the software string for 10 seconds.

• SYSTEM’S SOLENOID VALVES EV1: an open or short circuit on the gas interception solenoid coil or corresponding
wiring can be diagnosed with the engine running on gas. The fault is signalled when the power consumption mea-
sured does not fall within the designated operating range for 5 seconds.

• EV2 VALVE: an open or short circuit on the multivalve solenoid or tank coil(s) or corresponding wiring can be dia-
gnosed with the engine running on gas. The fault is signalled when the power consumption measured does not fall
within the designated operating range for 5 seconds.

• SENSOR POWER AND SWITCH: an error is signalled if the ECU does not detect the connection to the switch and
sensors while running on gas. The fault is signalled when the power consumption measured does not fall within the
designated operating range for 5 seconds.

The “STATUS” column shows the matching malfunction.

The recovery actions are as follows:


None - With the function enabled, the switch does not signal any malfunctions.
Switch to petrol - With this function enabled, the switch signals an error (with the buzzer and rapid flashes of the green
LED ) and changes to petrol automatically. The next time the engine is started, the system will try to change to gas and
if the error is no longer present, the engine will run normally.
Only petrol - With this function enabled, the switch signals an error (with the buzzer and rapid flashes of the green LED
) and changes to petrol automatically. To go back to normal driving on gas, you will need to resolve the problem and
reset the error in “DIAGNOSIS”.

GAS TEMPERATURE TOO COLD
is programmable (range -40 + 175).
Note - we recommend setting this value at a temperature that suits the type of fuel used with a minimum value of ~
0°C for LPG and ~ -20 for Methane. We recommend that you do not go lower than this threshold. For LPG this would
prevent gas being injected in its liquid state while for Methane, it would prevent making the system work at the limits of
temperature. In addition, if diagnosis is enabled, you need to set a lower value than that in “F1”, “F1 Gas change”, “Delay
in Petrol-Gas change with gas temperature”. Setting a higher value could cause an error to be saved at the moment of
fuel change to gas.
E Operating times

F Gas injector cut-out


When you select “Off”, the corresponding cylinder will be

• When the initial parameters were entered in “F1 Gas chan-
ge”, the program loaded a base map in the ECU.
• If a calibration history obtained from a similar engine is
available (same manufacturer and cubic capacity), loading
this calibration data into the ECU will lead to much simpler
auto-calibration.
• Procedure:
Has the engine temperature reached 80-90 °C?
• Press “SEND” on the bar (or “Enter” on the keyboard) to

• Another message can appear if the water temperature
sensor signals that operating temperature has not been re-
ached. For the sake of simplicity, it is better to wait until such
temperature is reached.

the procedure, it is very important during this stage to ensure that the accelerator pedal is kept steady. The au-
tomatic calibration stage serves to set the ECU baseline and therefore to facilitate any later manual calibration
operations.

Injector and nozzle sizes


At present there are three OMEGAS injector sizes:
- Small: from 0 to 18.5 kW/cylinder - [3 cyl. --> 55 kW; 4 cyl. -->74 kW]
- Medium: from 15 to 27.5 kW/cylinder - [3 cyl. 45 ÷ 82 kW; 4 cyl. 60 ÷ 110 kW; 6 cyl. 90 ÷ 165 kW; 8 cyl. 120 ÷ 220 kW; ]
- Large: from 25 to 40 kW/cylinder - [4 cyl. 100 ÷ 160 kW; 6 cyl. 150 ÷ 240 kW; 8 cyl. 200 ÷ 320 kW; ]
Each injector cap shows the size of the injector:
Small injector: GREEN cap
Medium injector: BLACK cap
Large injector: WHITE cap

As with the previous series of injectors, the size of new


injectors is indicated by different coloured caps on each

The size of plastic bodied “EVO/ ECO P” injectors is indicated


with numbers (from 1.6 to 2.6) on the bottom of the holder.

The size of interchangeable metal calibrated nozzles is shown


on the hexagonal part of the nozzle (from 1.6 to 2.6). The
higher the number, the higher the flow rate.

Plastic calibrated nozzles are identified by colour:


RED 1.6
YELLOW 1.8
GREEN 2.0
BLACK 2.2
WHITE 2.4
GREY 2.6

To ensure that you use the right size of nozzles to be


fitted to injector rails, refer to the tables and check-list:

LPG VERSION 1) Calibrate the GAS system correctly;


pressure= 1 bar; 2) Establish an idling speed with the engine running on
GAS;

Calibration fine tuning.


Once auto-calibration has been comple-
ted, we advise that you check the OBD
correctors (fast and slow) do not change
the fuel mix so as to bring the petrol ECU
in line.
With 194-198 model ECUs, the “fast” and
“slow” OBD correctors A can be displa-
yed (in “F7 Enter K” “Correctors” drop-
down menu). With 184-188 or OMEGAS
EVO models, you need to connect the
OBD tester OBD to the diagnostic socket
C and set it to display the correctors.
Check that the OBD correctors stay at ap-
A proximately the same values in determi-
ned fixed points on the mapping when the
engine is running on gas and on petrol.
WARNING
To determine corrector shifts, it is impor-
tant to remain as stable as possible within
a mapping cell. It goes without saying that
during these checks, variations in engine
speed or engine load do not provide accu-
rate data.
Another check to perform is that the petrol
injection times stay at approximately the
same values whether engine is running on
gas or petrol (ref. B ).
If these values do not match, manually
adjust the mapping.
D When you press “Start calibration” C
the “Switch” button appears D . This al-
lows you to change directly from petrol to
gas and vice versa without having to wait
for the usual programmed time. Each time
you press “Switch”, the corrector bar starts
from the optimal value “0%” then shifts to
positive or negative.
Keeping the rpm and engine load stable
at various mapping points, press “Switch”.
the corrector bar E
starts from the optimal
E value “0%” then shifts to
positive or negative.
B Keeping the rpm and en-
gine load stable at various
mapping points, press
“Switch”.
In the first few seconds,
B
you will notice a shift in
petrol injection times and
in the correctors.

Double clicking on an individual cell lets you modify the


mapping values.
Selecting “Absolute” mode, the number you enter is the
number that will appear in the cell.
Selecting “Linear” mode, the number you enter is the
number that will be added to that currently in the cell.
Selecting “Percentual” mode, the number you enter is
the percentage increase that will be added to the number
currently in the cell.

WARNING
In “Absolute” mode, the program suggests an estimated
value of the correction to make, we advise you to think
carefully about whether to accept this proposed figure or
to just slightly change the value to be entered.

If you want to change the fuel mix in “transitory fuel mix


states”, you will have to make select other cells at the
same time F . In this case, we advise you to select “Per-
centual” mode so that you can correct the mapping better.

We would remind you that changing large areas of the


mapping is the same as modifying the “4x4” mapping (F5
F Change calibration) where the cells of the main map are
grouped in “3 x 3” . G .
With every gas-petrol-gas change, the fuel mix bar E
takes a second to stabilise then show the average percen-
tage of the last 10 injections. The correct fuel mix should
show a value near 0% for a few seconds and then, over
time, the instability of the position of the ball inside the sin-
gle cell caused by interpolation of the cells alongside brings
this value to implausible shifts. To check whether the cor-
rection is acceptable, select “gas-petrol-gas” again.

WHEN YOU ARE SURE THAT THE FUEL MIX IS COR-


LSI ONE

RECT, RUN THE ENGINE AT IDLE AND CHECK THAT


THE GAS INJECTION TIME IS BETWEEN 4.5-6ms AS
SPECIFIED IN THE LSI ONE INSTALLATION MANUAL.

Pay close attention to the correct fuel mix in the “OPEN


LOOP” area (especially the part related to high engine spe-
eds).
With the Lambda probe under power, replicate the satura-
tion value (in Volts) of the Lambda probe in petrol mode
while the engine is running on gas.
With the linear Lambda probe, use the values of the “Fast”
and “Slow” correctors (or OBD tester) to replicate while run-
ning on gas.

The “Start calibration” button has changed function and


become “End calibration”. When you press this button,
a message will inform you that the calibration process will
end.

This additional function allows significant changes to be


made to the mapping system in the ECU.
Each cell in this map corresponds to 9 cells in the main
map “F1- F7 Enter K”

When running on gas, the RED box corresponds to the


area that is currently in use. When you press this box, it
turns BLUE.

To increase or decrease the percentage correction,
use the “Increase area (Page Up) or Decrease area (Page
Down) keys. After modification, the cells turn YELLOW.
To perform a complete diagnosis of the vehicle, it may be useful to use the OBD tester and
connect to the Lambda probe.

A Using SAVE CURRENT CONFIGURATION allows you to save the actual file regardless of the type of fuel in use.
The program automatically recognises the type of ECU connected and saves the file in the relative 3 or 4 cylinder folder
or, in the case of LANDIRENZO Omega only, the 5, 6 or 8 cylinder folder.
Selection of the type of CNG or LPG fuel in “F1- F1 GAS CHANGE”, will affect the saving of the files in the relative folder.
Vehicle makes that are not on the list can be loaded to the appropriate folder on your PC.

B You can use up to 50 characters to name the calibration you have created. We suggest using an easily identifiable
procedure such as:
make of vehicle, cubic capacity, year of manufacture, type of engine (brief or detailed), type of injectors (possibly injec-
tor/nozzle size), type of fuel, operator code/vehicle registration number etc. The date and time the data was entered will
also be automatically saved by the system.

C D If you want to save mapping data in a specific folder, select the make of vehicle before pressing “OK” otherwise
this data will be saved in the shared “Config” folder. LPG - Config. CNG.

The Load New Configuration function allows you to load


previously saved calibrations regardless of the type of fuel
in use. The system automatically detects the type of ECU
connected be they 2, 3, 4, or (for LANDIRENZO Omegas
only) 5, 6, 8 cylinder versions.

The program automatically shows only the files containing


at least one calibration.

Once the calibration data has been loaded, you can go ahe-
ad and check that system and/or customisations operate
correctly.

You can also visualise the configurations on the PC without


being connected to an ECU as well as modify and save the
data.
