NOTES
The software program described in this manual applies to
different types of ECU.
The software automatically recognises the connected ECU
by means of firmware that is loaded by the manufacturer
during the initial programming stage.
Certain program windows and functions are only visible/
available on some versions of ECUs. In such cases, the
words LSI PRIME or LSI ONE appear alongside the function
as do the customised icons that identify this latest version.
As regards the LSI PRIME LRE184 -188 ECUs, refer also to
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 Lovato J-K with various types of calibrated nozzles.
The field of application is described in the Component Installation Manual.
A range of minimum/maximum settings is available for selection.
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 Enter.
The parameters in RED can be changed only if the ignition
is OFF as the software string at the bottom of the F1 Vehicle 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.

Selecting AEB lets you set the matching value of the nozzles fitted to the injectors.
The procedure for determining the right nozzles for an engine type are described in the Automatic Calibration section.

F Displacement: (range 900-8000cc.): enter the cubic

capacity in cm3. Given the cubic capacity and the number


of cylinders, the software calculates the capacity of each
cylinder then feeds the ECU with a basic carburretion map
that helps optimise the system during auto-calibration.

Leave the Standard setting with signals that fluctuate from


5V to 12V. Select Weak for signals that vary from 2V to 5V.
When you selectCustom the Range (0-5) option appears that lets you set the engine RPM signal minimum voltage value. This application is used when the signal measured is lower than 2 Volt. This parameter avoids the use of
the signal amplifier.
Note
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
setting is preferable.
With signals of less than 2V (only LSI ONE), an extra signal
amplifier will have to be fitted.

Select SINGLE COIL if the engine has a coil for every cylinder 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 engines with one coil per cylinder.
Use Rev-counter for other cases.
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 DISPLAYED 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 procedure 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 message 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.

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


rpm): minimum rpm above which fuel change occurs. Default setting 1600rpm.

Water temperature for change-over: (range 40-90


C) Together with the fuel change rpm threshold, this parameter is evaluated by the ECU for changing the fuel feed
from petrol to gas.

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

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

This function allows the engine to start in gas mode after an
S & S thus avoiding delays.
The program displays the connection to power supply warning message.

Disable switch: this function forces the engine to run


on just gas with the exception of starting the engine from
cold, in cases of saved diagnostic errors and in the event
of running out of fuel. In the last two cases, the buzzer will
sound continuously unless the Buzzer Timer is enabled.

Q Buzzer timing: with this function activated, the buzzer

sounds for just 5 seconds when the system changes back

unified view, a customised settings bar is also available


from this software for LSI ONE.
The table shows how the delays in changing from petrol to
vary with coolant temperature.
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.

Delay in petrol-gas passage from with gas temp:


If the water temperature sensor is not connected, management of delays in changing from petrol to gas take place
based on the temperature of the gas detected by the gas
sensor
on the injector rail (for engines with Landi and Matrix injectors); on the sensor placed in series to the low pressure gas
pipe (for the OMEGAS - EVO system) or on the sensor on
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:
- Absolute, the written value is that which appears in the cell;
- Linear, the written value (positive or negative) will be added to or subtracted from the value in the cell;
- Percentual, the written value (positive or negative) will be
added to or subtracted from the value expressed as a percentage 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 prevent 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.

mapping system readings when the ECU exits from the engine cut-off stage.

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

number of injectors undergoing percentage changes compared 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.

Press K Start guided search for external MAP parameters and follow the instructions:

1 - WITH THE KEY ON, the gas ECU reads the voltage

from the sensor and associates it with 1 bar (atmospheric


pressure)

- 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).

Note - the ECU must be correctly mapped on gas.


Following the MAP learning procedure: the return to petrol
will take place based on the low pressure differential value
for the return set in F4 gas level reference C instead of
on the pressure vector for the change to petrol in F4 gas
level reference D.

Gas pressure meter:

E Offset; F Slope (set by default).

These values refer to the type of sensor fitted to the gas


system.

G Subsonic flow threshold: this is the MAP/Pressure

gas ratio above which the speed of gas exiting the injector
is no longer in sonic stall (i.e. independent of the gas pressure and equal to the speed of sound of the gas at a given
temperature, but dependent on the MAP/Gas P ratio). If the
MAP is connected, the MAP/Gas P ratio can be calculated
and the gas injection times will be corrected to take into account the decrease in gas exit speed due to the increase in
the MAP/Gas P ratio.

E
G

Note
The procedure is performed with gas-powered engines
at 3000RPM and at idle. In the learning process, the
software measures the differential pressure which is
equal to the regulator calibration pressure:
Press.diff = Press.gas - MAP
The software program then obtains the MAP by reversing the formula:
MAP = Press.gas - Press diff.
and saves the corresponding value in volts.
It obtains the MAP characteristics from the slope and
intersection of the straight line between the two points
recorded at 3000 RPM and at idle.

T water: The minimum temperature threshold to enable the characterisation procedure (it is preferable if the engine is at a normal temperature regime. We suggest setting
a value of more than 70C);

M MAP threshold (V): the minimum voltage for enabling

the characterisation procedure (the preset default setting is


acceptable);

P reg. (bar): the pressure needed to calculate the second point of sensor linearisation (exit pressure from the
regulator default setting based on fuel setting and engine
type setting i.e. normally aspirated or turbo).

A This is the main carburretion map and the three main

variables are:
- RPM in X coordinate

from:
petrol injection time;
petrol injector in-between time;

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.

F K factor: lets you multiply the map K values by 1.5

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 application 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
size of injector.

F Setting of the multiplication factor occurs automatical-

ly during auto-calibration and can neither be seen nor manually modified. The P1 and P2 parameters and respective
T; inj; and K refer to two points that are interpolated to obtain 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.

tions expressed as percentages that are used to correct the


fuel mix every time there is a shift from nominal mapping
conditions (Water T >70C, Nominal gas pressure and Gas
T = 50C).
They consist respectively of values for temperature and
pressure and of a positive or negative corrective value expressed 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
(logic up to xC). The cells temperature and pressure reference cells (in blue) can be modified as can the correction
values cells (blank) from the modification window that ap-

It is possible to differentiate between main injections (range
0-5) and extra injections (range 0-5) as in the latter case,

Note - we recommend that you leave the petrol and gas inbetween injection times unchanged. With 184-188 ECUs,

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.

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-

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.
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 loads). Although 194-198 ECUs keep this functionality unaltered, they lose usefulness in that the automatic petrol contribution 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 injection time cuts in.
In practice, the gas injection time will be calculated by giving
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 mapping coefficient (12th line, 12th column). If the time of the
cycle is greater than the maximum calibrated petrol injection
time, this will be used to calculate the gas injection time.

this item allows you to set an association between petrol

The example below proposes advancing by 1 injection with

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


maximum default setting (50) leaves the fuel mix mapping
unaltered (corresponding with the window Tip IN in F7 K
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 methane that, under acceleration, do not have optimal power distribution characteristics (due to an over-rich mix).

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 cylinder, 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 engine.
If this setting is not changed, in the event of changing from
sequential to full group injection, the engine would run

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 70C.

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 2.50.1ms;

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.

B Automatic petrol contribution at high rpm: this ena-

bles the function when gas injection times exceed the maximum time needed for injection. any missing gas is supplemented by petrol.
Some program versions have this function enabled by default.

Operation at idle:

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

D Return to petrol: on returning to high rpm, the system

feeds the engine with 20 injections of petrol then goes back

E Petrol: under the rpm settings set below, the engine

When you press the message cell

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

with reference to gas pressure, you can set the percentage


of petrol you want to inject to replace gas (range 0-25%).
The ECU reads the pressure and up-dates the percentage
of the split to apply every 20ms.
Different pressure default settings are based on the parameters 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
- Absolute, the written value is that which appears in the cell;
- Linear, the written value will be added to or subtracted from the value in the cell if it is not 0;

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 correctors (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 carburretion 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.

Operation

Once the electrical adaptivity connections have been made,


the adaptivity function will not work if OBD (A) Adaptivity
is not selected. The window will up-date asking you to select the type of petrol corrector (C or D) and displays the
adaptivity sensitivity (E).
Once connected, the software in the F7 Insertion K dropdown 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 connected 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 petrol connectors that take on the change that has been made.
In this case, change the modified idle setting back to its original 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.

reset error button D . The Reset errors key also cancels the emergency start counter (see NOTES section Emergency 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 diagnostic error message also appears if a voltage of less than 6 volts is detected for more than 5 seconds downstream

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

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.

SYSTEMS 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 measured 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 diagnosed 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.

are commanded by a single ECU output).
Diagnoses about:

The diagnosis regarding:
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 ~
0C 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

The guided procedure allows simple calibration of the ECU.


When the initial parameters were entered in F1 Gas change, 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:
Press SEND on the bar (or Enter on the keyboard) to
start AUTO-CALIBRATION .
The only thing that will stop auto-calibration at this stage
is if the ignition (15) or rpm signal is cut off. Resolve the
problem and re-start the procedure.
Another message can appear if the water temperature
sensor signals that operating temperature has not been reached. For the sake of simplicity, it is better to wait until such
temperature is reached.

The program will ask you to:


stabilise the engine speed at 3000 rpm with the vehicle in neutral; the position of the petrolgas switch is irrelevant as the software will take care of changing fuel thus testing the outcome of the calibration. To speed up
the procedure, it is very important during this stage to ensure that the accelerator pedal is kept steady. The automatic calibration stage serves to set the ECU baseline and therefore to facilitate any later manual calibration
operations.
the program instructs you to release the accelerator pedal and leave the engine at idle.

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
injector (ref. A).
Unlike the first series of injectors, the cap holder too is customised by injector type (ref B).

Calibration fine tuning.


Once auto-calibration has been completed, 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 displayed (in F7 Enter K Correctors dropdown menu). With 184-188 or OMEGAS
EVO models, you need to connect the
OBD tester OBD to the diagnostic socket
and set it to display the correctors.
Check that the OBD correctors stay at approximately the same values in determined fixed points on the mapping when the
engine is running on gas and on petrol.
WARNING
To determine corrector shifts, it is important 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 accurate data.
Another check to perform is that the petrol
injection times stay at approximately the
same values whether engine is running on

C
A

gas or petrol (ref. B ).


If these values do not match, manually
adjust the mapping.

When you press Start calibration

the Switch button appears D . This allows 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.

E
B

the corrector bar E


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.
In the first few seconds,
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 Percentual 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
Change calibration) where the cells of the main map are

grouped in 3 x 3 . G .

LSI ONE

With every gas-petrol-gas change, the fuel mix bar E


takes a second to stabilise then show the average percentage 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 single cell caused by interpolation of the cells alongside brings
this value to implausible shifts. To check whether the correction is acceptable, select gas-petrol-gas again.
WHEN YOU ARE SURE THAT THE FUEL MIX IS CORRECT, 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 speeds).
With the Lambda probe under power, replicate the saturation 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 running 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.
The page also shows:

C Petrol injection times and Lambda probe voltage


D WARNING: Use EXIT to leave the program. This will allow the calibration carried out to

be loaded to the ECU. Always exit the screenshot using indicated keys and NEVER with the

X at the top right of the screen except under extreme circumstances such as the program

freezing.

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 injector/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 ahead 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.
