ChapterChapterChapterChapter 1111 INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
This is an electronically controlled Gas Sequential Injection System. It can be installed in nearly any petrolfuel injection vehicles, in particular in all last-generation catalytic fuel injection vehicles. The system is amulti-point sequential injection system, 100% “follower” and where no OBD emulation device is required. Itis available both for the LPG and the CNG versions.
Gas is injected through the injector rail directly into the manifold near the intake valves, thus achieving anoptimal fuel mixture and improving gas exhausts level. The gas injection timing is directly driven by theoriginal petrol signal.
The Gas Sequential Injection system is composed of the following items: an ElectronicElectronicElectronicElectronic ControlControlControlControl UnitUnitUnitUnit, amicro-micro-micro-micro- SwitchSwitchSwitchSwitch, a GasGasGasGas PressurePressurePressurePressure RegulatorRegulatorRegulatorRegulator, a GASGASGASGAS InjectorInjectorInjectorInjector RailRailRailRail.

- Always disconnect the Battery when installing the Gas system.
LGC copyright www.lgc.hk2
- Never place the 15 Amp fuse in fuse housing until the system is fully installed.- Place the ECU and all cables far from heat sources and far from high voltage sources (such as battery cables,spark plugs, coils, etc.).- Place the ECU in vertical position with connectors above.- Solder and insulate all electrical connections.- Use only gas hoses specific for CNG.- Keep all Gas hoses as short as possible.- All hoses connecting the Gas injectors to the Manifold MUST have the same length.- Check the system for GAS leakage after completing the installation.

Should the provided connectors are not compatible with the original ones of the vehicles, it is suggested to cutthe connectors and connect the wires, by welding.
The wire controlling the Petrol injectors have a different color on every cylinder, therefore, it is good practiceto check the polarity by using a multimeter. Once checked solder the wire ends and pay attention to the colorof each wire and their related sequence.
Should a mistake happen and the wrong signal be taken from the wrong wire, the following information willnot be displayed in your PC, that is; “Time of injection Petrol”, “RPM number” and “Status of the Injectors”.This information is present when viewing the screen “MONITOR”. Should this occur, check all wires andrepeat the above mentioned operation.

Installation instructions:
The Injectors Rail should be installed as follows: connect the Rail outlets with the respective petrol injectorconnection, therefore follow the correct firing sequence of the engine: cable “R1” to the cylinder Nr. “1”, cable“R2” to cylinder Nr. “2”, “R3” to the cylinder Nr. “3”, cable “R4” to cylinder Nr. “4” This device should beinstalled in the engine compartment, away from heat sources and protected from water or humidity.
The hoses connecting the injectors rail to the manifold must have the same length and will be as short aspossible.
In the case of installation of a 3 or a 6 cylinders engine the following is recommended:
Important note: should you use a 4 way injector on a 3 or 6 cylinder engine we recommend NOT to connectthe injector socket C3 and on rail R3.
Note: The first rail will be connected with the grey cables to be connected with the cable N2 and which runs

(The regulator we use now is different with the one shown above but similar, no problem to take it asreference.)- The outlet pressure of the reducer can be trimmed by acting on the screw placed on centre top of the frontcover. By turning the screw clockwise the pressure is decreased and by turning counter clockwise the pressureis increased.
- It is recommended that the outlet pressure of the reducer is trimmed as per the table here bellow

- The reducer can be installed in any position but it is recommended that the coil of the lock off is positionedupward. None the less, the reducer must be secured by fitting on to the bracket.
- It is not a good practice to connect the water circuit in series to the water flow, if set in series the water flowwill be limited to the engine and may create damage. Therefore, always fit the reducer in parallel to the waterflow and always bellow the radiator’s water level.
- The NTC or temperature sensor is fitted to the side of the alloy block of the reducer. When screwing thesensor take care and DO NOT apply excessive torque. The only function of the sensor is to measure thetemperature of the reducer. Always use the NTC provided with the given ECU and connect as per themanufacturer instruction.
- In the case the reducer is placed in a “big” size engine it is recommended to use an oversize CNG lock offand a steel pipe having 8x1mm in size.
- Connect the vacuum port placed on the side of the top cover of the front part of the reducer to the pressuresensor or ECU as recommended by the manufacturer or follow the indications provided in the “MAP SENSORCONNECTION SCHEME”.

The sequential injection system uses a gas pressure sensor to assure a good performance of the engine and toallow the best possible carburetion of the engines. The sensor is to be connected, using a rubber hose to theGas injector rail, to the manifold and to the vacuum port located on the cover of our reducer.
This device allows measures the following signals:- The MAP value (MAP: Manifold Absolute Pressure)- The gas pressure inside the injector Rail

Chapter 13 SETUP LAMBDA
LGC copyright www.lgc.hk20
- This section of the Software is useful when performing emission tests. We advise not to make use of it forevery day application, unless required. Reason is, that in time, the lambdas will become slow or die off. Whenthis happen the system will no longer work on gas unless this function will be deactivated or a new lambda isused. This function allows you to make a better control of the exhaust gasses.
- If in need, then make sure to connect Lambda Nr. 1.
- Activate the Fast Lambda corrector by clicking and selecting a value from 1 to 16. The values are from 1 lessimportant to 16 most important.
- The slow lambda can be activated as well, and is referred to the average calculation of a “X” number ofcycles. Basically works on its average.
- Click on SETUP LAMBDA for the programming process and acquisition of the same.
- LAMBDA PROBE it allows to fix the vehicle’s lambda signal.
- LAMBDA THRESHOLD it fixes the medium value of the Lambda Probe signal.
- SLOW LAMBDA CORRECTOR this parameter can be activated only if lambda is connected, will correctthe Gas air fuel ratio utilizing and ideal average of the Lambda signal.
- FAST LAMBDA CORRECTOR this parameter, if selected and if the lambda is connected, will allow tocorrect the fuel-air ratio utilizing the instant value provided by the system.
- LAMBDA MAPPING THRESHOLD it allows the emulation of the lambda signal, if connected thru the
LGC copyright www.lgc.hk21
signal wire. It works in function of the engine RPM and the MAP of the engine.
- HIGH EMULATION VALUE allows to fix in mVolts the maximum value of the emulated signal.
- LOW EMULATION VALUE allows to fix in mVolts the minimal value of the emulated signal.
- LAMBDA SETUP is an automatic procedure to acquire the lambda type signal, provided that lambda probeis connected
Note: If is necessary to utilize the LAMBDA CORRECTORS it is a must to connect the lambda 1 to the ECUwiring as indicated here bellow :
