INTRODUCTION
Installation
Calibration
Carburetion
From the point of view of installation, the wiring harnesses have been simplified in fact
the installers have just to plug male and female connectors and vice versa; all
connections by wires have been removed.
For what concerns calibration, the software has been improved both in terms of
communication speed and in terms of ease of use; moreover there is a new function for
smart diagnosis of LPG/CNG components of the system.
From the point of view of carburetion, the system has new algorithms and a constant
communication with petrol ECU through EOBD connection, which assure air/gas mix in a
constant stoichiometric ratio at different engine conditions and at different gas
characteristics.
COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
REDUCER
Pressure reducer is a device which supplies a stable gas flow in terms of pressure and
temperature, its capacity adjusts according to engine power when running. The gas
pressure in the reducer is pre-set and it is vaporized through the heating system by the
cooling liquid of engine. Pressure reducer is furnished with a safety valve which opens if
internal pressure of reducer gets more than 6 bar to reduce it.
Working pressure of reducer should never be lower than 25C, for this reason there is a
temperature gauge on the reducer body to gauge its temperature and send this
information to ECU through an electric signal so that ECU can:
Switch engine from petrol to LPG once it gets the temperature conditions set
during calibration
RAIL
Rail is a rigid duct with one input and 2 or more outputs according to the number of
electroinjectors to feed; its function is to lead gas flow coming from reducer to each
injector. There are different configurations for rail, in particular:
3 outputs
4 outputs
5 outputs
You can use one or more of them to fit any engine type. On the rail there is a sensor to
gauge gas temperature and a shunt to gauge gas pressure. Those data converted into
electrical signals are sent to ECU so that it is informed instant by instant on gas conditions.
The right position for rail is between reducer and electroinjectors, the maximum length of
hoses to electroinjectors should be 20 cm.
There are two kind of LPG rail:
STANDARD TYPE
HD TYPE
You should choose the rail according to the injectors type.
RAIL TYPE HD
INJECTORS
The electroinjectors are electromechanical devices which, controlled by ECU, inject the
right quantity of vaporized gas upstream the aspiration valves of each cylinder by the
vacuum phase. The number of electroinjectors depends on the number of cylinders to
supply.
There two kind of electroinjectors:
ROMANO FAST
ROMANO HD
The ROMANO FAST injectors vary according to the diameter of gas outlet nozzle.
Depending on the power and number of cylinders of the vehicle, you can use the following
types:
HD 2.6
HD 3.0

All LPG HD injectors should be used together with HD reducers. Compared to other
injectors in the market, ROMANO ones are not affected by gas impurities. From
installation point of view, you have to check that hoses connecting injectors to nozzles on
the aspiration manifold are maximum 10 cm. long.
INJECTORS TYPE HD
ECU
RISN Antonio ECU is the device which, interacting with other components of LPG/CNG
system, controls the full system granting the right functioning of vehicle complying with
antipollution regulations and safety requirements.
ECU can control automatically:
the system, switching from petrol to LPG and vice versa as soon as the system
gets the appropriate working conditions and/or system safety.
Each injector to inject the right quantity of gas into each cylinder by the vacuum
phase.
Lambda sensor
Carburetion trim (if available)
This system gives the possibility to make a connection with EOBD plug of the vehicle in
order to have the adaptativity of gas carburetion which allows adjustment both of petrol
parameters range and of LPG quality which can vary at every refueling.
ECU is also furnished with a serial port to be connected to PC where you can set both the
system configuration during installation and the system diagnosis during control and
maintenance.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
To install a LPG/CNG system means making some changes to the vehicle so its very
important to follow some simple rules to get the appropriate installation and functioning
avoiding any kind of problems to LPG/CNG system and to the same vehicle.
Please notice that:
You have to make sure that all fixed pipes/hoses are free from obstructions or
tight spots
You have to install the reducer in the engine compartment on unmoving parts
You have to make sure that cooling system shunt works properly in order to
assure a good heating for reducer
You have always to disassemble the aspiration manifold and check its internal
shape before making any hole. You can disregard this suggestion only if you
already know manifold shape.
You have to make holes on the manifold so that the nozzles are parallel to
sucked-up air flow
You have to make sure that nozzles dont exceed the centre-line of manifold
hoses
Rail should be fixed close to reducer and not so far from injectors; the maximum
length of hoses connecting rail to injectors should be 20 cm.
You have always make sure that there is no gas leakage from hoses, pipes and
connections
You dont have to replace the standard fuse with one of bigger amperage
ECU and its cables should be positioned far from high voltage components or
wires. In particular for ECU we recommend to follow the instructions as per
Pict.1 and Pict.2
Before any EOBD connection you have to check the type of connection of
vehicle through handheld tester to make the right wiring connection to pins of
EOBD plug.
You have to fix the switch in a position easy to reach by the driver
You have to make sure that youre loading the appropriate settings during
configuration
LPG pressure value at idle speed is about 1 0.1 bar for aspirated vehicle
LPG pressure value at idle speed with HD reducer is 1.5 0.1 bar
CNG pressure value at idle speed is 1.5 0.1 bar
You dont have to exceed the reference pressure limit values not to alter
functioning of injectors
You have to make sure that MAP connection is accurate, in particular, double
check that, when speeding up and decelerating, the software shows a variable
MAP value (dont consider this instruction for valvetronic vehicles)
You have to make sure that map/configuration has the right stoichiometric ratio
i.e. it is not too rich nor too poor in order to avoid problems to catalyst, lambda
sensor and valves.
14
Advise the customer that if the GAS system fuse burns, the connections
of the devices to which it is connected will be restored. It is strongly
recommended not replace the fuse with another one with a higher
amperage rating since it may cause irreparable damage.
Do not open the control unit box for any reason, especially when
the engine is running or the key is in ignition, to avoid irreparable
damage.
ROMANO will not be held responsible for damage to property or
injuries to persons if unauthorized personnel tamper with its
devices; such tampering will also invalidate the WARRANTY

Cod.SA144U
Cod.SA143 E
Cod.SA143INV
N.B.: Since there are a lot of models, the cut-off wiring harness is not included in the kit so
you have to order it separately according to the vehicle you have to fix.
To understand which is the appropriate wiring for the vehicle, first you have to identify the
pin of the petrol injector connector where the positive arrives. To detect which is the
positive wire, follow these instructions:
Disconnect all connectors from injectors
Take a multimeter and set it to read the DC Voltage
Ground the negative probe
Put the positive probe in one of the two connectors of injectors wiring
Ignite and check immediately if you have +12V
If you have +12 V then the connection is positive.
Fig.2
Fig.1
WARNING: some vehicles have a timed +12V injectors so after some seconds from
ignition it could disappear.
We suggest to check the polarity of all connectors of injectors wiring to verify that all of
them have the same polarization.
28
and the
Code SA144SJ wiring harnesses is furnished with JAPAN type plugs and longer cables to
be used on SUBARU vehicles with BOXER engine. You have to use this type only if the
positive of petrol injectors is on PIN B and the negative is on PIN A as per pict.2
SA144E
Cod. SA144E wiring have one 6-contacts connector. It can be used only on some models
of FIAT, CITROEN or PEUGEOT which use the same connector for injectors wiring. To
know on which vehicles it can be used, follow the instructions of wiring harnesses
29
Cod. SA143 and cod.SA143INV have type BOSCH connectors to be connected directly
to petrol injectors. To understand if you have to use Cod. SA143 or Cod. SA143INV you
have to check polarity of petrol injectors wiring and then you have to use:
Cod. SA143 - if the positive of petrol injectors is on PIN A and the negative on
PIN B as per pict.1
Cod. SA143INV if the positive of petrol injectors is on PIN B and the negative
on PIN A as per pict.1
SA144U
Cod. SA144U have no connectors; this wiring harnesses should be used on all these
vehicles where you cannot use the other harnesses or where it is not possible to use the
original connectors of injectors. To fix this wiring you have to cut all the negative wires of
petrol injectors following the order of our drawings. The pair of injector cut-off wires are
exactly the same so there are not positive and negative wires, this makes connection
easier.
The WHITE-RED wire should be connected to one of the positive wire of injectors.

EOBD CONNECTION
Through the EOBD connection of the vehicle, it is possible to get some useful information
to have a more accurate carburetion of the vehicle.
Through the software you can view some carburetion parameters of Petrol ECU such as:
Carburetion trims (Slow trim and fast trim)
Tension of post-Lambda sensor
Which can be useful for installer to get the appropriate carburetion of the vehicle. In
addition to the above mentioned parameters, the ECU, by slow trim and fast trim signals,
is able to adjust gas injection time instant by instant according to the different engine
conditions.
To have the right connection and allow ECU get a faster connection, connect the hand
holder tester to OBD plug of the vehicle and check the displayed connections code.
If the tester gives back the following connection code:
