Software installation
To install the calibration software, put the CD-ROM in the computer drive and wait for the guided installation window
to open.
If the installation program does not start, select “Start” in the “Taskbar”. Choose “Run” and enter: "D:\setup.exe"
(where D stands for the CD-ROM drive).
During installation you will be asked in which directory you want to install the program. We recom-
mend you do not change the pre-set directory.
The program icon will be created on the desktop when installation is complete.
NOTE: For software installation, some systems may require Administrator privileges
Introduction
The calibration software can be launched without having to be connected directly to the control
unit.
To connect to the control unit it is necessary that the PC and the ECU are duly connected through
one of the following interfaces:
The control unit must also be connected to the +12 volt battery (red – black wire) and to the ground
(black wire).
NOTE: The USB and wireless interfaces require the USB drivers included in the CD-rom.

It is important to remember that all the settings made on the disconnected control unit will be lost
when it is connected, unless they are previously saved in a configuration file.
If the program does not connect, an error window will open. At this point check:
- the serial interface connection,
- that the control unit is connected to the battery and ground,
- if the sub key has been disconnected for more than an hour, to connect it will be necessary to
connect the panel for a few seconds and check that the switch turns on at the same time, or start
the vehicle.
To attempt connection again, open the “Connection” window and select “Connect”.
In the part underneath all of the pages, a display summarising the current values of the general system opera-
tion signals is provided.

This box displays the connected/disconnected status of the OBD communication protocol and the type of
6 protocol used for the connection (value displayed below the OBD connector):
OBD disconnected
Moreover, in case OBD errors are detected, the following symbols may be displayed:
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
Clicking on we access a Menu tree for setting the following parameters:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
To change the parameters, set the new values and press ok.
Clicking on “Enable colours on the map”, all the modified boxes will be highlighted.
Furthermore it is possible to set a minimum opening time value ( in milliseconds) for the GAS injec-
tors.
Enabling the diagnostic OBD connection ( ;) the user can select the control unit connection mode
to the OBD protocol:
• AUTOMATIC SELECTION: thought this option, the software automatically tries to connect to
the vehicle testing all the existing OBD connections and selecting the correct one.
• MANUAL SELECTION: though this option, the user selects the OBD connection of the vehicle
from a list of possible connections.
Moreover, the software allows the selection of the cancellation mode of the OBD errors eventually
detected:
; ENABLE FULL ERROR CANCELLING: through this option, all the OBD errors detected by the
control unit are cancelled.
; ENABLE SELECTIVE ERROR CANCELLING: through this mode, only a selection of errors
are automatically deleted. This list of errors is selected by AEB technicians and is not further
customizable.
; ENABLE ERROR CANCELLING WITH ENGINE OFF: though this option, all the OBD errors
detected by the ECU will be deleted once the engine is turned off.
; CONNECT WITH OR WITHOUT RPM: through this option, the OBD connection is enableb
even when the RPM signal is not detected.
WARNING
The VWOPTION check ( ; ) and the value indicated in the Scan Mode box 1 are parameters of
the vehicle configuration set for the correct reading of OBD values. The parameters are not to be
modified without consulting and obtaining the approval of our technicians.
NOT CONNECTED: the lambda probe value is not displayed and no type of emulation is activated.
REAR: While working on GAS, the rear lambda reference value is shown
on the lower-left side of the monitor
NOT CONNECTED: the lambda probe value is not displayed and no type of emulation is activated.
REAR: While working on GAS, the rear lambda reference value is shown
on the lower-left side of the monitor
Moreover, enabling at least one lambda sensor, the EMISSIONS menu will be displayed.
EXIT FROM CUTOFF TO PETROL: enabling this mode the vehicle will be running temporarily on
petrol when exiting a CUTOFF.
After the set time, the vehicle will switch automatically back to GAS.
PROGRESSIVE SWITCH: GAS is switched over to gradually one cylinder at a time when this func-
tion is enabled (recommended default option).
The switch over is usually smoother when this function is used.
If this function is not enabled, the PETROL injectors are all disconnected at the same time and switch-
ing over to GAS is immediate.
This function is automatically disabled when the engine is started in emergency mode
through the switch.
PETROL ENRICHMENTS: enabling this mode, the vehicle will be temporarily running on PETROL.
This can make the driving smoother especially in case of sudden accelerations, reducing the carbu-
retion gaps.
After the set time, the vehicle will switch automatically back to GAS
DELTA MAP: This is a value expressing the speed of pressure increase on the intake manifolds. If
the pressure in the intake manifolds rises suddenly (e.g. after an acceleration) and its values exceeds
the one input in the DELTA MAP box, the control unit will enrich the carburetion injecting petrol.
CONSTANT CONTRIBUTE: It indicates the chance of setting a constant gas contribute (in millisec-
onds) between the normal injections.
MANAGED AS EXTRAINJ: EXTRA INJECTIONS are very short injections made in addition to the
normal injection, and are given during petrol operation, usually during accelerations, to slightly enrich
the carburetion, thus improving engine performance.
The extra injections can be recognised by looking at the progress of the RED dot in the map, or the
petrol injection time that will switch from normal injection time (e.g. 8ms) to a much shorter time
(e.g. 0.8ms), to then immediately go back to the previous one.
If we control the extra injections like a normal injection during gas operation, we may enrich the
carburetion too much, with the risk that the engine runs too fast serrating (this happens above all
in natural gas systems, whereas the problem is usually less noticeable in LPG systems).
Modifying the related slider, the parameters of the gas extra injections can be changed increasing or
decreasing the gas injectors opening time during the extra injection.
By moving the slider towards the plus sign, we increase the gas extra injection time, whereas we
decrease it by moving the slider towards the minus sign.
MIN. GAS INJ. OPENING TIME FOR EXTRA INJ: Inputting a numerical value (in milliseconds) in
the given box, the minimum opening time of the GAS injectors will be set.
PETROL: Enabling this function, the extra injections will be managed only by the PETROL control
unit.
WITH DIFFERENTIAL GAS PRESSURE: This choice enables carburetion compensation based on
the differential gas pressure.
By differential gas pressure, we mean the pressure originated from the difference between the
pressure in the reducer output and that detected from the intake manifolds (MAP)
WITH ABSOLUTE GAS PRESSURE: This choice determines that the carburetion compensation is
based on the absolute gas pressure value.
By absolute gas pressure, we mean the reducer output pressure value.
WITH PETROL PRESSURE: This choice means that the carburetion compensations are based on
petrol pressure values.
By petrol pressure we mean the pressure on petrol rail injectors.
Note: The default parameters have been tested by our personnel, and changing them is
usually not recommended.
ACTIVATION DELAY FOR EMULATION: This box allows to input a time lapse, after which the lambda
sensor emulation will be activated.
¾ Connect the PURPLE wire to the lambda probe without interrupting the original connection
(therefore leave the GREY wire disconnected).
¾ Interrupt the original connection and connect the PURPLE wire to the sensor and the GREY wire to
the PETROL control unit.
0 ÷ 1 V - Select this option is the voltage fluctuates between these voltage values on the signal
wire:
• about 0 ÷ 0,2 V con miscela povera;
• about 0,8 ÷ 1 V with rich mixture.
0 ÷ 5 V - Select this option is the voltage fluctuates between these voltage values on the signal
wire:
• about 0 ÷ 0,2 V with lean mixture;
• about 4,8 ÷ 5 V with rich mixture.
UEGO - Select this option if the lambda probe is the linear type and if required to change the emission
values (using the GREY wire only).
NOTE: The default parameters have been tested by our personnel, and changing them is
usually not recommended.

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.
