 In order to complete a vehicle configuration, it is necessary to input the vehicle specific details
filling the vehicle and gas system data.

N.B. Moreover, to keep system operation in good condition, do not leave the petrol tank
completely empty and do not disconnect the petrol pump.

NUMBER OF CYLINDERS
This parameter serves to tell the control unit how many cylinders the vehicle has and therefore how many gas
injectors it has to control:
set 3 CYLINDERS or 4 CYLINDERS, depending on the number of cylinders the vehicle has.
If a control unit for 5-6-8 cylinders is used, these options will also be displayed in the selection window: select
5 CYLINDERS, 6 CYLINDERS or 8 CYLINDERS, depending on the number of cylinders the vehicle has.

NOTE: Depending on the type of unit connected will be displayed only options allowed.
VEHICLE PARAMETERS
TYPE OF REVOLUTION SIGNAL
It sets up the control unit for reading the rev signal through the RPM wire (meant as the RPM wire
of the gas control unit cable):

STANDARD: select this option when the BROWN2 wire is connected to one of these signals:
- rev counter wire with 0 ÷ 12 V square wave signal;
- negative coil.
WEAK SIGNAL: select this option when the RPM wire is connected to one of these signals:
- rev counter wire with 0 ÷ 5 V square wave signal;
- static ignition control with 0 ÷ 5 V square wave signal;
These signals can be identified only by using an oscilloscope.

IGNITION TYPE
The control unit uses this parameter for correctly calculating the engine speed, which varies based on the type
of ignition on which the BROWN2 wire is connected. Set:

MONO COIL: for vehicles with one coil per cylinder if the BROWN2 wire is connected to the negative
terminal of one of the coils;
DOUBLE COIL: for vehicles with one coil every 2 cylinders if the BROWN2 wire is connected to the
negative terminal of one of the coils;
REV COUNTER: for vehicles with one coil and mechanical distributor if the BROWN2 wire is connected
to the negative terminal of this coil, or in all vehicles where the BROWN2 wire is connected to the rev
counter signal wire.
REV COUNTER 2: set this option when the engine’s speed is not read correctly on a 6 or 8-cylinder
vehicle with the BROWN2 wire connected to the rev counter.

8 - 22 ISW Digitronic Direct Injection I eng Rev.01032015-0

FUEL TYPE
This selection serves to initialise the control unit with the typical parameters set ahead of time for
correct operation with the type of fuel used. Select:
LPG: for LPG-powered vehicles
NATURAL GAS (CNG): for NATURAL GAS-powered vehicles.
When LPG or NATURAL GAS is selected, also the directory where the configuration files are saved
changes (see "Upload file").

INJECTOR TYPE
This window is used to select the type of GAS injectors that are supplied with the conversion kit.
When a previously saved configuration is loaded, this window indicates the type of injectors that
are used in the configuration.
If the GAS injectors installed on the vehicle do not correspond to the type shown in the window,
then you will need to load a configuration that uses the correct type of injector. If the installed
injectors do not correspond to the type that have been selected on the software, then the injectors
will be piloted with incorrect parameters and may cause malfunctions during gas operation.

ISW Digitronic Direct Injection I eng Rev.01032015-0 9 - 22

 N.B. Moreover, to keep system operation in good condition, do not leave the
petrol tank completely empty and do not disconnect the petrol pump.

RPM THRESHOLD FOR SWITCH OVER

Identifies the rpm at which you want the PETROL-GAS switch over to take place.

TEMPERATURE OF PRESSURE REGULATOR FOR SWITCH OVER

It indicates the temperature the reduction gear has to reach so that switching to gas is allowed.
The control unit WILL NOT SWITCH TO GAS beneath this temperature.While running on gas, if the temperature
value lowers more than the set parameter, the control unit keeps running on GAS anyway.
It is recommended to set a temperature between 20°C and 45°C since:
- setting a lower temperature could trigger the fuel change over if the reducer has not warmed up enough for
a correct Gas output.
- setting a higher temperature would postpone too long the change over to Gas.

PETROL-GAS SWITCH OVER DELAY

It indicates the minimum time from engine ignition for switching over from PETROL to GAS.
We recommend you set a time no less than 20 seconds in order to ensure correct system operation.

START & STOP

It enables the START AND STOP device if available on the vehicle.
If a STOP is detected, the gas electro valves are closed after 3 seconds and opened again at the following
START.

10 - 22 ISW Digitronic Direct Injection I eng Rev.01032015-0

TYPE OF GAS LEVEL SENSOR
It tells the gas control unit what type of level sensor was used:

AEB - set AEB if a sensor with an AEB standard output signal sensor (e.g. AEB1050) is connected. Refer to the
assembly drawing of the gas control unit for connection.

0 - 90 ohm - set 0 – 90 ohm if a sensor with output signal sensor ranging between 0 and 90 ohm (e.g. AEB1090)
is connected. Refer to the assembly drawing of the gas control unit for connection.

NOT STANDARD - Set this option if an LPG or NATURAL GAS resistive sensor with a variable STRAIGHT
signal (lower (Ohm) value with higher vacuum level and value (Ohm) with full level) is connected.

NOT STANDARD INVERTED - Set this option if an LPG or NATURAL GAS resistive sensor with a variable RE-
VERSED signal (higher (Ohm) value with lower vacuum level and value (Ohm) with full level) is connected.

NOTE: Setting NON STANDARD or NON STANDARD INVERTED in the “TYPE OF GAS LEVEL SENSOR” box, you
enable the settings necessary to set the level sensor as follows:
Set the reference values necessary for setting the level sensor as follows:
- manually move the sensor indicator starting from the full level and note the value indicated in “Level” for each
reference (RESERVE, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4).
- enter the values noted in the corresponding boxes.

We can then see the following changes on the switch:

RESERVE = LEVEL value when the red reserve LED turns on and the 1/4 LED turns off.
1/4 REFERENCE = LEVEL value when the 2/4 LED turns off.
2/4 REFERENCE = LEVEL value when the 3/4 LED turns off.
3/4 REFERENCE = LEVEL value when the 4/4 LED turns off.

This menu provides a numerical display of the multiplication coefficients called K the control unit
uses in calculating the GAS injection time.
The table displays the petrol injection times on the Y axis, while we find the engine rpm on the X
axis. The red dot displayed on the map identifies the rpm references and petrol injection time in
which the engine is running.
Moreover, if the vehicle OBDII plug is connected, the display shows the carburetion parameters
during GAS running (Slow and Fast Correctors). The values are expressed in positive or negative
percentage.

To change the K values, select one or more map boxes and press enter; a window with the following
modification modes will appear:
ABSOLUTE - the value corresponding to the one entered can be exactly placed in the map.
LINEAR - adds or subtracts (if a number with negative sign is entered) the entered value to or from
the one already in the box or boxes selected.
PERCENTAGE - adds or subtracts the entered value to or from the one in the box or boxes selected
in percentage.

If present, one or more er-
rors detected by the GAS
control unit are displayed
on this page.
There is an example of a
display of some of these er-
rors in the figure below.

When the GAS control unit detects a diagnosis error on the parameter read, takes the action selected in the
"Action in case of error" corresponding to the error detected.
Possible actions are:
• Signal only
• Switch to petrol
In the "Diagnosis", displays the corresponding parameter of diagnostics status determined.
The possible states are detected:
• ERROR
• OK
In case of diagnostic errors related to the gas INJECTORS the message “OK” means a correct detection of the
signal, while “ERROR” indicates a detection error on the injector A,B,C or D.
The diagnostic errors detected can be deleted from the control unit memory simply by pressing the lower right-
hand button “Reset errors”.
By enabling or disabling the check in the "Enable the diagnosis connection with the vehicle" (see "OBD
F5" menu) display of the diagnostic errors will be activated or deactivated.
The error detected will be signalled to the driver by the yellow LED coming on and remaining steady, and by the
slow blinking of the green LED on the switch. Moreover, the buzzer inside the switch will be enabled to simplify
identification of the alarm status.
To deactivate the audible alarm, just press the switch button to change the car from Gas set-up to the Petrol
position.

NOTE: Switching over to petrol is envisaged for some errors. In this case, the GAS control unit will
automatically switch over when the error is detected.
To return to GAS operation, it is necessary to shut down and re-start the vehicle.

Counters (hh:mm) register the vehicle's time of operation (shown in hours and minutes) during GAS ( ),

and PETROL ( ) operation, is found in the "Operating times" option.

From this submenu it is possible to update the FIRMWARE (the management program in the control unit) of the
gas control unit after updates.
The latest firmware version available when the CD-ROM is created is always included in the calibra-
tion software installation CD-ROM, whereas any subsequent versions can be sent by e-mail or on
any other removable support.

WARNING WARNING
The correct path for saving the programme file (firmware) is the following:
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\PERSONAL ACCOUNT\DOCUMENTS\MULTIPOINTINJ\
FIRMWARE where "PERSONAL ACCOUNT" is usually the"USERNAME" or the PC-ID.

IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THE SAME PATH TO SAVE POTENTIAL UPDATES

AND NEW FIRMWARE. IT IS ADVISABLE TO KEEP A COPY OF THE OBSOLETE FIRMWARE
IN THE PATH IN ORDER TO KEEP A FILE-HISTORY IN THE SAME FOLDER.

To update the FIRMWARE, select “REPRO-

GRAM”. The window “Select program file” will
be displayed.
Select the update file and click on open.
