1 PART ONEinstallation of the system1.1 List of standards
Regulations applicable to the installation process:
UNECE Regulation No. 115; UNECE Regulation No. 67; installation of systems to be used in Poland consistent with Appendix 9 Additional
requirements applicable to vehicles fitted with an LPG system to the Ordinance by the
Minster of Infrastructure of December 31, 2002 on technical requirements applicable to
vehicles as well as the scope of the necessary equipment; Journal of Laws No. 32 item
262;
other domestic regulations.1.2 Description of the LPG STAG 400 DPI system
1.2.1 Scope of useSTAG 400 DPI supply system has been designed to control injection of autogas in the case
of spark ignition direct petrol injection engines.
1.2.2 STAG 400 DPI operation principleThe system is based on typical elements including a tank along with its accessories, gas
tubes, LPG injectors and reducers. The system prepares fuel to be supplied to the inlet manifold
by vaporisation in the reducer and pressure stabilisation depending on the reducer setting.
Pressurised volatile LPG is supplied to the gas injectors installed in the vehicles engine, which
inject the fuel into the manifold through the gas tubes.
The injectors are opened by an electric signal generated by the LPG system controller.

1.3 Principles regarding installation of particular elements in a vehiclePrior to commencement of an LPG system installation process, the vehicle must be verified as
suitable. Vehicles displaying engine defects must be restored to a fully operational condition. Particular
attention should be paid to inspection of the ignition system.
With certain engines, it is recommended to replace selected elements of the ignition system just in
case or to warn the customer about the need to replace such elements. Failure to comply with the above-
mentioned recommendations may result in defective operation of an LPG fuelled engine due to reasons
not attributable to the LPG system itself or the installation method.

1.3.2 Autogas tanksSteel tanks are used. When choosing your tank, make sure that the fitting method ensures
fulfilment of the applicable strength requirements. This applies particularly to the vehicles, in the case of
which an LPG tank is mounted on a plastic support.
1.3.2.1 Cylindrical tanks
Picture 1.3.7A frame for a cylindrical LPG tank Picture 1.3.8A fitted LPG tank
Cylindrical tanks are mounted using a mounting
frame and bolt connections.
The required connection strength is ensured by
installation of mounting frames as well as bands,
the strength of which is confirmed through
relevant tests conducted by the tank
manufacturer.
The tank should be mounted perpendicularly to
the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Leave 10 cm
[1 cm = 0.393 in] between the tank and the
back seat. In the event the tank is mounted in
the boot, which is separated from the back seat
with a division and there is no possibility of
contact between the tank and the back seat,
there is no need to leave the 10 cm space.
Picture 1.3.9In the event a cylindrical tank is mounted along the vehicles longitudinal
axis, an element which prevents movement of the tank forward must be prepared.

of the vehicle using the parts provided with the tank
(Picture 1.3.12).Orifices must be cut out in the
bodywork in order to enable routing of the gas tubes,
ventilation of the gas tight housing (the inside of the
torus) as well as installation of the fitting bolts. A
plastic support should be placed underneath the
tank. Once the tank has been installed, gas tubes are
fitted as well as the wiring harness. All mounted bolts
and screws should be covered with an anti-corrosion
substance (Picture 1.3.13).

secured with a gas tight cover and routed outside of the vehicle (Picture 1.3.15).
Picture 1.3.14A fitted multi-valve Picture 1.3.15Gas tight tubes
The tank must be fitted with a suitable combined valve, also referred to as a multi-valve (Picture 1.3.14).Make sure the selected valve can be used with a given tank. Place a gas tight cover element underneath
the valve. The bolts securing the valve should be fitted diagonally. Subsequently, route the gas tubes
through cable conduit protection hoses and connect them to the multi-valve using suitable connections.
Electrical wires should be connected to the multi-valve according to the scheme. Subsequently, mount
the gas tight cover as well as the cable conduit protection hoses. Any leakages from the multi-valve must
be discharged out of the vehicle. For this purpose, the cable conduit protection hoses are tightly attached
to the sleeves installed in the orifices previously cut out in the bodywork (Picture 1.3.16). Such an outlet
must not be cut out in the inner wheel arch or another element, where it could be obstructed with mud
or snow, and must not be pointed to the exhaust (Picture 1.3.17). Vent tubes (cable conduit protection
hoses) should be as short as possible.

2.2 Programming the controller2.2.1 Auto-calibration
Auto-calibration is possible once the reducer temperature has reached the level of 60 C.Start
the engine and wait until the lambda probe starts working before proceeding with the auto-
calibration procedure. Appropriate LTFT and STFT corrections are important when running on
petrol. Usually correction values should oscillate around 0%. When performing auto-calibration,
the engine should work at idle run. Do not rev up the engine, AC and the lights should be turned
off. Do not move the steering wheel, as this might result in an incorrect course of the calibration
procedure. Once Auto-calibration window has been selected and Start button clicked, the
Choose engine code window will be displayed.
Figure 2.2.1Choose engine code window
Note! A valid engine code list can be found in the list of appendices.
Once the engine type has been selected, the auto-calibration procedure commences.
NOTE! In the event the engine code is selected incorrectly, the engine will malfunction and the
vehicle may become immobilised.
The progress bar informs the user about the state of the calibration procedure. During the
calibration process, the user can observe petrol injection times and switching on of subsequent
LPG injectors. Once all the injectors have been adjusted, the auto-calibration process is
complete.

Petrol injection time (the red line) as well as automatic switchover to LPG will be saved in
Calibration assistantwindow at stable driving conditions.
Figure 2.2.5 Calibration assistant window
Following the switchover, the green line indicates the current petrol injection time.
Correct the multiplier in such a manner as to make sure the green line corresponds with
the red one following the switchover. In order to facilitate the task, the assistant window
displays the rpm as well as the manifold pressure values saved while running on petrol
(marked with blue colour on the dials). In the event the saved rpm and manifold pressure
values are exceeded, the dials will become backlit in yellow. Lower the multiplier in the
calibrated point, in the event the green injection time indicator, following the switchover,
is situated on the left-hand side of the red indicator (the mixture too rich). Similarly, in
the event the mixture is too weak, the green indicator is situated on the right-hand side.
Increase the multiplier value in such a case. STFT and STFT (red colour) correction values
are frozen in the assistant window following the switchover in order to facilitate the task.
This represents the correction value, which applied in the calibration point just prior to
switchover to LPG. Additionally, following switchover to LPG, on the left-hand side of the
assistant window, an arrow is displayed, which informs the user about the recommended
multiplier correction direction. Following the switchover to LPG by the assistant,
depending on which map is being configured (LM or 2D), the nearest calibration area
point is activated. Pressing or causes immediate correction of the same. In
order to verify the multiplier, switchover to petrol and move back to the calibration point.
If necessary, it is possible to add calibration points by clicking the right mouse button on
the multiplier line. The second point along the multiplier line is calculated during the
auto-calibration procedure, while the engine is working at idle run. Having set all the
points in road conditions, also check the point calculated during calibration. Once the
vehicle has stopped, verify its settings and make adjustments, if necessary.
When setting the vehicle based on the injection times, it is a good practice to observe
STFT and LTFT correction indications using the OBD Monitor and Calibration assistant
windows or SXC 1011 diagnostic scanner, in order to verify correctness of the setting.Press STOP button to discontinue operation of the assistant.

Adjustment based on observation of STFT correctionwhile driving, when conditions
are stable and the cursor is on the selected point of the map, switchover to LPG and
observe STFT correction indications (using OBD Monitorwindow or SXC 1011 diagnostic
scanner). Set the multiplier point in such a manner as to make sure the correction
oscillates around 0%. In the case of a positive STFT value, elevate the multiplier point,
otherwise lower it. Continue until the required correction is achieved. Once the selected
map point has been set, increase the load to move to the next point (without switching
over) and repeat the above-mentioned actions.
Having initially set up the multiplier map, verify nozzle selection at the maximum load. Check
STFT correction at the maximum petrol injection times recorded, when pulling out with the full
load (the accelerator pedal pushed to the floor). Usually, the correction value should oscillate
around zero. In the event changing the multiplier has no effect and STFT correction remains
positive at all times or the lambda probe works in the weak mixture range, it means that the size
of LPG injector nozzles is too small and larger nozzles should be installed instead. Repeat the
calibration procedure, once the nozzles have been replaced.
Verify additional injections settings once the vehicle has been set up. In Parameters Advanced
settings Extra inj. correction tab, there is a slide control, which is used to set LPG injectors'
correction in the event additional injections occur. Additional injections are signalled with a
yellow backlit of the Gas Inj. Dose window in the Monitor window.
Figure 2.2.6 Inj. dose window
Such a situation usually accompanies dynamic engine performance, such as acceleration. In the
event additional injections are observed, watch STFT correction and if the mixture is too weak or
too rich, use the slide control to adjust the correction value as to make sure STFT indication isidentical with the one applicable to petrol (usually around 0%).
Figure 2.2.7Advanced settings window
Shifting the slide control to the right makes additional LPG injections richer, while shifting the
slide control to the left makes additional LPG injections weaker.
In the event setting the multiplier through the multiplier line (LM button in Maps tab) is
insufficient for the entire rpm range, use the 2D map (2D button in Mapstab).
