Technical Manual of the

Calibration Software of the

Bora Injection System

MT-IS-SWI-NWBR-01.04-E dated 23/03/2017

Introduction

The new software is characterised by a totally innovative approach and strongly aimed at the management of gas, as fuel for the most recent spark-ignition engines.

The main innovation resides in the engine control software inside the control units that, thanks to the new management algorithms, allows for the optimisation of the gaseous fuel dosing in a simple and innovative way, allowing the installer to easily obtain the best results. In order to guarantee the greatest integration with the petrol engine control system and to satisfy the OBD requisites, the BORA software is equipped with advanced diagnostics of the gas system enabling communication with the original OBD system of the vehicle. The calibration Software has changed in both appearance and functionality, but also trying to help out installers as much as possible. The calibration software can be accessed without necessarily being directly connected to the control unit. To connect to the control unit instead, it will be necessary to have the pc and the control unit properly connected by means of an interface cable and a usb-serial adapter (if the PC is not equipped with a Serial port) that can be purchased from any retailer. Furthermore, the control unit must be connected to the +12V battery

(Red wire) and to the ground wire (Black wire).

1. Minimum computer requisites

Operating system: - Windows XP Service Pack 3, VISTA, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10

Windows or successive versions.

Memory ( ram ) : - At least 128 Mbyte.

Hard disk: - At least 1 Gbyte of free space at the moment of installation.

Video resolution: - 1024 x 768 or greater.

1.1. Software installation

To install the calibration software, insert the CD-ROM into the computer and wait for it to open the

Setup Wizard window. If the installation program does not start, select "Start" in the "Taskbar".

Choose "Run" and type: "D:\setup.exe" (where D stands for the CD-ROM player). During installation, you will be asked in which directory you choose to install the program; we recommend not changing the pre-set directory.

Once installation is completed, the icon of the program will be automatically created on the desktop.

3. Programming

The programming procedure of the New BORA software is based on 2 different types of files:

1. File .S19

2. File .ZCL.

Files with the S19 extension contain the algorithms and strategies used by the systems equipped with the New BORA Software. Each time the control unit is newly programmed, it is advisable to update the S19 software with the latest version present on the PC (obviously the PC must also be updated).

This allows you to have available all the functionalities and strategies that have been implemented up to that moment.

The files with .ZCL extension contain the characteristic data of the vehicle and of its mapping. For example, they contain type of system, type of engine (aspirated or supercharged), mapping

parameters, calibration parameters of all the signals coming from the acquired sensors, commutation parameters, any parameters for the GAS strategies, etc.

3.1. Control Unit Programming

If the control unit needs to be programmed, select the Inizialize control unit key from the main screen. Two different programming modes are available:

• Control unit inizialize

• Control unit program

3.1.1. Control Unit inizialize

Control unit inizialize is carried out when wanting to install a new vehicle for which the Configuration is not available. In such a case, proceed with the Configuration of the characteristic parameters and, subsequently, with the actual self-mapping. The control unit inizialize procedure consists of a first step, which involves the selecting of the fuel type with which the vehicle was equipped, and then selecting either LPG or Methane, fig. 3-1.

Fig.3-1

After having selected the box corresponding to the fuel type, LPG or Methane, simply press the

initialise key. The software and a standard mapping will be automatically sent to the control unit, which will allow for the calibration of the vehicle. Once programming is completed, you will move to the next step.

3.1.2. Parameters

It is the second step of the procedure; it is used to specify further information on the type of system installed and of the vehicle. (see fig. 3-3).

Fig.3-3

In particular, it indicates whether the system is Aspirated or Supercharged(turbo).

Some of the parameters are pre-set and are the same for all the Bora systems on the market; usually it is not necessary to modify them, others vary from vehicle to vehicle and therefore are to be set by the installer. The following describes the standard parameters (Bora) and those that differ depending on the system installed.

STANDARD BORA PARAMETERS DESCRIBE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE

INSTALLATION:

Petrol

• Engine displacement: indicate the total engine displacement in cubic centimetres (e.g. 1400 for a 1.4 litre engine).

NB. To confirm the value entered press the "Enter" key.

• Number of Cylinders: you must indicate the number of cylinders of the engine, which also the corresponds to the number of gas injectors installed and the number of petrol injectors connected.

• Engine Type: indicate whether it is a aspirated or a turbo engine.

• Injection Type: choose between sequential or semi-sequential type injection.

• START/STOP: indicate whether the vehicle is equipped with the Start/Stop device.

GAS

• Injector Type: indicate the type of gas injector installed, choosing from the list of those available. Remember that the choice of injectors depends on the vehicle's power: see sizing

table.

• OBD type: (Only for Bora systems): used to specify whether the system is connected with the vehicle diagnosis connector and whether the K line (1 wire connected) or the CAN BUS (two wires connected) line has been used. It is possible to determine the type of communication, and therefore which types of connections to perform, by connecting an OBD tester to the vehicle connector. As soon as the tester performs the communication, it will give its type with a number from 1 to 9. The connections and selection must comply with the indications in the following table.

• Rmp signal: Allows the control unit to detect the revs signal via the BROWN wire.

- Not Connected: Select only if you are connecting map Standard and OEM.

- Coil: Selecting the system calculates the number of motor revs from the coil. Set "Pulse

Signals" as always "Undefined".

- RMP signal or crankshaft sensor: Selecting, the system prepares the reading of the Motor

Revs from the source such as: Phonic Wheel, Timing Sensor and rev counter exit. Set the

"Pulse Signals" as the number of pulses from the timing sensor or the number of phonic wheel slots.

Selecting and by selecting the “magic wand” icon near the selection window "signal pulses" the gas ECU automatically recognize the type of signal generated by sensor on which the Brow wire is connected. To enable the automatic recognition, the vehicle engine must turned on and idling on petrol.

- Acqu. Coil: Selecting, the system prepares the reading of the Motor Revs directly acquiring the signal from the coil. Setting from "Pulse Signals" the number of pulses of the coil. Also in this case it is possible to use the “magic wand”, to automatically set the number of pulses of the coil.

• P1-Tgas: indicate the type of sensor used for gas pressure and temperature. The program automatically proposes the sensor that is generally used for the pre-chosen application.

• Water: View the type of sensor used. In the Bora systems equipped with the OBD

Communication function this information can be collected from the car's diagnosis.

Lambda sensors

By selecting the type of gas Probe the Gas ECU allows the reading of the lambda probe signal. Before selecting the type of Lambda Probe, it is necessary to check its operation.

If you want to read the value of the probe, connect the lambda probe to the PURPLE wire without interrupting the original connection.

• Standard: select with probe in voltage 0-1 Volt; 0-5 Volt; 0,8-1,6Volt.

• Standard inverted: select with probe in voltage 5-0 Volt.

• UEGO do not select and do not connect any wires when there are UEGO probes

• Not connected: select if no wire is connected to the lambda probe.

• Standard emul.: select in the event you want to perform an emulation of the lambda probe.

Connection the PURPLE wire in to original signal lambda probe.

Level sensor

This section is about calibrating the signal coming from the tank level sensor, so as to correctly display the level on the LED of the change-over switch.

• Zavoli 30K: set if the gas control unit is connected to a Zavoli 30K sensor (standard sensor supplied by Zavoli); for connection refer to the gas control unit's assembly diagram.

• Zavoli 30K S32: set if the Bora S32 gas control unit is connected to a Zavoli 30K sensor

(standard sensor supplied by Zavoli); for connection refer to the gas control unit's assembly diagram.

• 0-90: set if the gas control unit is connected to a sensor with 0-90 output signal (standard

MTM sensor); for the connection refer to the assembly diagram of the gas control unit.

• 1050: set if the gas control unit is connected to an AEB1050 sensor; for the connection refer to the assembly diagram of the gas control unit.

• 1090: set if the gas control unit is connected to an AEB1090 sensor; for the connection refer to the assembly diagram of the gas control unit.

• 807: set if the gas control unit is connected to an AEB807 sensor; for the connection refer to the assembly diagram of the gas control unit.

• Sensata HP: set if the gas control unit is connected to a Sensata sensor; for the connection refer to the assembly diagram of the gas control unit.

• NON STANDARD: Set this option if a resistive LPG or METHANE sensor is connected to a LINEAR variable signal (lower value (Ohm) with empty level and higher value (Ohm) with full level).

• INVERTED NON-STANDARD: Set this option if a resistive LPG or METHANE sensor is connected to a INVERTED variable signal (higher value (Ohm) with empty level and lower value (Ohm) with full level).

To correctly signal the gas level, it is very important to perform the electrical connection as per the gas control diagram.

By selecting the sensor installed, standard values are automatically set which, in most cases, correspond to the proper calibration of the sensors. It is also possible to perform the calibration of the level; it is necessary to position the vehicle with the tank emptied and to detect the sensor level signal under these conditions and pressing the Empty tank detection key; the recorded value appears in the box next to the key. After filling up with gas, it is sufficient to press the Full tank detection key, the recorded value appears in the box next to the key.

Reserve Indicator Buzzer

Select “Reserve Indicator Buzzer “. As the system detects a reserve electrical signal, the change-over switch generates a double bleeping sound

.

Change-Over Switch Dimming

This regulates the intensity of the change-over switch lights.

3.1.4. Self-Calibration

Before starting self-calibration procedure for the Bora and Bora Light systems, the connection to the

MAP sensor will be requested.

Self-calibration consists in acquiring the values of the various parameters when idling on petrol and in their processing on the basis of the supplied data (engine displacement, number of cylinders, injection type, etc.). It will then be implemented without the intervention of the installer. As soon as self-calibration starts, the key shown in fig. 3-5 will be enabled and will request to press start when the idling conditions with petrol have been reached.

Note the various gauges that indicate the progress of the self-calibration and other values.

During this phase, note the 4 red or green circles and the text box (Err%) that contains the error percentage that still needs to be corrected. The circles (one for each cylinder) are initially red, indicating that all the cylinders are petrol fuelled. Subsequently, partial change-over to gas is had of certain cylinders with subsequent change backs between gas and petrol, until reaching full gas functioning at the end of the procedure. During the entire procedure, the error box shows the gap between current situation and the optimal one. When the percentage error is below 5% (positive or negative), the box is green indicating a situation where one can proceed, otherwise it is red making it necessary to wait before changing-over other cylinders. At the end of the procedure, a message will signal that it has properly come to a conclusion.

Please note: at the end of the self calibration procedure it is important that the off-set value is negative, otherwise repeat the procedure and check for any problems in the installation.

In the event the gas ECU does not complete the self-calibration procedure it is possible to interrupt the procedure at any moment and, saving the configuration file, the gas ECU acquires the last off-set value available. In this way the fine tuning of the carburation in the map menu can continue.

Initial correction: Indicates the initial leaning or enrichment with which the self-calibration procedure starts. In LPG configuration the default value is 0, while with methane the default value is -20.

Varying this value in negative values you increase leaning, increasing it, it diminishes.

We recommend varying this value only in exceptional cases on specific vehicles.

3.1.5. Save Configuration

You will be able to conclude the procedure by saving the changes and adding the configuration to the archive, see fig. 3-6.

3.1.6. Program Ecu

Selecting the Program Ecu From Archive key accesses the screen for the programming of the

ZAVOLI control unit from the archive, see fig. 3-7, i.e. by using already available files (for example those of vehicles already developed in the past).

Fig.3-7

The programming will take place if the key contact is engaged, with the motor still or while running on petrol. If the vehicle is running on gas. the system will automatically perform the change-over to petrol before proceeding with the programming. To program, select from the archive the file to be downloaded depending on the type of system, brand, model and petrol of the vehicle. If the vehicle is distributed by ZAVOLI, the files are located in the ZAVOLI_MAPS folder, if the vehicle has been developed by the installer, the files are located in the USER_MAPS folder.

Increasing the value of the calculation coefficients (Off set) in the map, while maintaining the

PETROL injection time constant, will increase the GAS injection time, while decreasing this value the exact opposite will take place, i.e. the system will be leaner.

In order to perform a proper carburetion control, it is possible to read the lambda correctors on the program by connecting the wires to the OBD diagnostic connector of the vehicle. This function is active only with the gas control units;

To change the values, select one or more check boxes on the map and press the "Enter" key; enter the value to be attributed to the cell and confirm the value with the “Enter” key.

Or pressing "F12", value changes can occur in a linear manner through the table, "modify value" as seen in figure 4-1.

TEST USING THE INTEGRATORS/CALIBRATORS:

If the value of the calibrators/integrators shifts more than 3-4 units compared to the normal PETROL operation during GAS operation (e.g. the calibrator moves from 8% to 11-12%), correct the value in the map keeping in mind that:

- If the integrators/calibrators shift toward positive values, this usually means that the petrol control unit detects a weak carburetion, so in the box you are checking the K value should be increased until the integrators/ calibrators return to the values detected with PETROL.

- If the integrators/calibrators shift toward negative values, this usually means that the petrol control unit detects a rich carburetion, so in the box you are checking the K value should be decreased until the integrators/ calibrators return to the values detected with PETROL.

To check that the K values entered are correct, perform a few PETROL/GAS changes at a constant speed while checking that the calibrators/integrators are operating in a similar way with both

PETROL and GAS.

To perform a correct mapping, you have to road-test the vehicle keeping in mind that it will not be possible to perform the procedure described above in some map areas because the engine will not abide staying in the same map area during the PETROL/GAS changes as it is in a transient state

(acceleration or deceleration).

TEST USING THE PETROL INJECTION TIME

If the value of the PETROL injection time during GAS operation shifts compared to normal PETROL operation (e.g. 0.5/1 ms longer or shorter), correct the carburetion remembering that:

- If the PETROL injection time increases, this means that the petrol control unit is detecting a weak carburetion, so in the box you are checking the K value should be increased until the PETROL injection time returns to the values detected with PETROL.

6. Gas/Petrol

By selecting GAS/PETROL on the main screen, you can access a series of sections on settings and parameters of the vehicle. (fig.6-1)

Fig.6-1

The following describes the ECU parameters;

Petrol/Gas

Acceleration: The vehicle changes-over when the RPMs are above the minimum RPM parameter settable from the interface. If set to 0, the system change-over even at idle, if set to something other than 0, the system must exceed this threshold to change-over.

Deceleration: The vehicle changes-over only when the MAP is below the maximum MAP [mbar] parameter threshold that can be set from the interface. The default value is 2000 and indicates that the system can start the change-over under any operating conditions. If an appropriate value is set, e.g. 300 mBar, the vehicle will change-over only when the MAP drops below this threshold, which normally takes place during release.

Start on gas when warm: If the strategy is enabled when the two thresholds for regulator

Temperature and Petrol/Gas Change-Over Delay are validated, the vehicle will start-up directly on

GAS.

MT-IS-SWI-NWBR-01.04-E dated 23/03/2017

Delay Switching Cycles: With the value of 3 injections, with the example of a 4 cylinder vehicle, after change-over of the first injector, 3 injections will take place in which 3 cylinders will still be fuelled with petrol and only one with gas, after which for 3 injections, 2 cylinders will be fuelled by gas and 2 on petrol, after another 3 injections there will be 3 gas fuelled cylinders and 1 petrol fuelled one, and after 3 more injections, even the last gas injector will be activated.

Function Cold

Select “Function Cold” . In extremely cold weather conditions, the system doesn’t switch considering the GAS temperature, but only the regulator temperature.

Limit Conditions

Minimum DeltaP: corresponds to the DeltaP value (difference between the gas pressure in the rail and the MAP) below which, the vehicle will definitively change-over to petrol due to lack of gas.

Minimum Gas Temperature: If gas temperature drops below the set value ( -10°C default value), the system changes-over to petrol permanently, in order to prevent malfunctions due to temperatures that are too low.

Automatic Gas Status Change-over: Select the “Automatic Gas Status Change-over” checkbox.

When the car run out of gas, and the systems has changed over to petrol:

- LPG;

If the system detects a gas level increment of approximately 20%, it automatically sets the change-over switch to gas mode.

- CNG;

When the car ignition key is turned to ON position, the system automatically sets the change-over switch to gas mode.

Idle

Idle RPMs: (RPM threshold gas-petrol change-over): when the RPMs are below the value entered in this box, the strategy activates and the vehicle changes-over to petrol. The default value is 0: this value effectively disables the strategy.

Working on Petrol: (Maximum stay time on petrol):after this time, the strategy ends its effect and the vehicle changes back to gas, regardless of the RPMs. The default value is 10 seconds.

The strategy allows to solve any problems present during the return to idle. The strategy allows a change-over to petrol for a instants during the return to idle, with a negligible petrol consumption, but avoids the engine switch-off or the excessive lowering of the RPMs.

Always on petrol: The flag, to activate an unlimited idol on petrol.

Cut-Off Exit

Idle RPMs: (RPM threshold max change-over): when the RPMs are below the value entered in this box, the strategy activates and the vehicle switches to petrol. The default value is 0: this value effectively disables the strategy.

Length of Switching: (No. petrol injections): determines the maximum duration of the strategy. After the number of injections/ms indicated in this box (counted on the first injector), the system changes back to gas.

These strategies are used to resolve any problems during RPM lowering following a cut-off

(momentary shut-down of the injectors in situations of deceleration). It may be necessary to use this strategy, for example, to prevent engine shut-downs which occur as a result of sudden clutch pressure leading to a rapid decrease in RPMs.

The strategy allows change-over to petrol for a few moments following a cut-off, with a negligible petrol consumption, but avoiding the engine switch-off or an excessive lowering of the RPMs.

Change-over switch overlapping

This function allows to modify the parameters related to the fuels overlapping during the change-over process (Gas to Petrol and Petrol to Gas).

Supplying gas while running on petrol is useful to anticipate the gas pipelines filing, especially between the gas injectors rail and the intake manifold. This is especially true when using pipes exceeding the normal length.

Gas to Petrol (%)

During the “Gas to Petrol” change-over process, the last gas injection is calculated accordingly to the parameters you input in the “Gas to Petrol (%)” overlapping section. You can decide to enrich or lean the gas flow by modifying the last injection, before the change-over to petrol.

You can decide the percentage of the last gas injection during the change-over process. This is set to

100% by default, meaning a full gas injection. If you chose “0”, it means NO last gas injection before before change-over. To lean the gas flow you must reduce the value in %.

Petrol to Gas (%)

During the “Gas to Petrol” change-over process, the last gas injection is calculated accordingly to the parameters you input in the “Gas to Petrol (%)” overlapping section.

During the last petrol injection before the change-over to gas, you can set the system to supply a percentage of its corresponding gas injection. If you set to 100%, during the last petrol injection the system reaches the 100% (total) of the corresponding gas injection. The system is set to 0 by default, which means supplying the 0% of the corresponding gas injection, meaning supply NO additional gas injection in conjunction with the petrol one.

High Speed Operation

Gas: The system works entirely on LPG.

Automatic petrol contribution: (Lack of Gas compensation) Above a Duty Cycle Gas threshold, that can be calibrated through the Interface, you can inject a percentage of petrol that meets the demand of the engine. This strategy can be used to solve the problem of changing-over to petrol due to having reached the max D.C. Inj set at 100%.

Once the strategy is enabled, up to the set value (default at 94%) of the Duty Cycle GAS. the system will feed the engine only with LPG. Instead, when the system should open the GAS injector above the set value, the remaining amount will be provided by opening the petrol injector up to the 100%

limit set in the calibration file. The two fuels supplied together however represent a stoichiometric calibration.

Example: If the calculated Gas flow to supply the engine to satisfy the user's demand, should involve a Duty Cycle GAS equal to 98%, 94% of the flow will be supplied with LPG and 4% will be supplied with Petrol. When the calculation of the total Duty Cycle, LPG + Petrol, reaches 100%, the vehicle will change-over to petrol.

Manual petrol contribution: The strategy allows for the addition of petrol during gas funtioning.

This strategy, if enabled, maintains the functioning and the duration of the valve seats especially on vehicles known for this kind of problem. Function parameters that can be set by the operator:

✓ Minimum petrol ton: Minimum petrol injection time beyond which the system starts feeding an amount of petrol equal to the Petrol Contribution Ton parameter.

✓ Petrol Ton Contribution: Petrol injection time intended to be supplied to the engine.

RPMs for contribution from ... to..: RPM range within which, if the minimum petrol Ton parameter is exceeded, the system will start to inject petrol.

✓ Strategy operation: in operating conditions between the two thresholds of engine RPMs, if the petrol injection time exceeds the threshold set in the minimum petrol Ton parameter, an amount of petrol corresponding to the Petrol Contribution will be provided; the remaining petrol injection Time will be used to calculate the amount of gas to be injected.

Extra Fuel: This strategy allows you to inject a % of petrol in correspondence with a specific injectors rail pressure. It is also possible to select at which RPM the strategy activates.

Petrol: Strategy that allows, above certain RPM and MAP thresholds, the temporary change-over to petrol. This solution can be used to avoid problems due to the lack of fuel supply at high RPMs. The change-over parameters can be modified by the installer.

The changing-over back to petrol will not be indicated on the switch that will remain in GAS condition with the two-coloured green LED. The system automatically manages a changing-over back to GAS when dropping below the change-over parameters.

7. GAS Strategies

By selecting GAS Strategies, from the main screen you can access a series of strategies dedicated to the setting and modification of parameters. (fig.7-1)

Fig.7-1

Acceleration/Deceleration

This transient strategy compensates variations introduced by the petrol injection in a simple way, by setting with a cursor the leaning or enrichment that is desired.

Acceleration Control: The leaning and enrichment take place in conditions of acceleration, in the situation of this car hot. The value set corresponds to the percentage change of the calibration.

Deceleration Control: The leaning and enrichment take place in conditions of deceleration, in the situation of this car hot. The value set corresponds to the percentage change of the calibration.

Cold Acceleration/Deceleration

This transient strategy compensates variations introduced by the petrol injection in a simple way, by setting with a cursor the leaning or enrichment that is desired.

Acceleration Control: Leaning and enrichment take place in conditions of acceleration, cold vehicle.

The value set corresponds to the percentage change of the calibration.

Deceleration Control: Leaning and enrichment take place in conditions of deceleration, cold vehicle.

The value set corresponds to the percentage change of the calibration.

Injection management

Additional injections cut-off : Petrol Ton threshold under which the petrol Cut-Off is detected and the injection will not be repeated and fed with Gas.

Additional injections sensibility: If set greater than the Extra injections cut-off parameter, all fuel injections that have a value between these two parameters will be added to the main injection.

MAP threshold extra injected: The Map value can be set, from which the software carries out a complete cut of the extra injections .

Switch to petrol management

Activate the Strategy: “Flag” the check-box to activate the strategy.

Activation RPM: (RPM limit for switch over): when the RPM value is below the selected limit, the strategy turns on and the vehicle switches over to petrol.

Switch to Petrol RPM-Delta RPM/Cycle: (RPM cycle limit): when the number of rpm contained in a Engine Cycle fall below the indicated limit, the strategy turns on and the vehicle switches over to petrol.

Activation RPM-Delta RPM/Cycle: (RPM cycle limit): if the RPM raise above the selected limit, the strategy turns on and the vehicle switches over to petrol.

Switch to gas delay ms: (Maximum time on petrol): when the selected time has passed, the strategy ends its effect and the vehicle switch over to gas.

Deactivation RPM-Delta RPM/Cycle: (Rpm-per-Cycle difference): if the rpm raise above the selected value, the system switch to gas during one engine cycle, without waiting for the Timeout

(Switch to gas delay in ms).

Setup Injectors

Anticipated injection: The system, in order to anticipate the sequence, does not provide the Gas injector with its command, but that of the previous injector in the ignition order.

Example:

Generally, the ignition order for the 4 cylinder is the following: 1 – 3 – 4 – 2

The Anticipated injection strategy will use this new ignition order: 3 – 4 – 2 – 1

Therefore, via SW, the command of the Gas 1 Injector will go to the Gas 3 injector.

A a result, the command of the Gas 3 Injector will go to injector 4; the command of Gas 4 will go to injector 2 and the Command of Gas 2 will go to injector 1;

This strategy, if enabled, anticipates the gas injection compared to the normal petrol injection timing.

Anticipated injection can be used to solve problems of drivability due to engine timing changes, opening of the ducts of the variable fuel manifolds.

French Crossing: The system, in order to anticipate the sequence, does not provide the Gas injector with its command, but that of the previous injector in the ignition order.

Example:

Generally, the ignition order for the 4 cylinder is the following: 1 – 3 – 4 – 2

The Anticipated injection strategy will use this new ignition order: 2 – 4 – 1 – 3

Starting Correction on Gas: This type of thinning is active only in the start condition of the car.

The value set corresponds to the percentage change of the calibration.

8. Adaptivity

By selecting Adaptivity, in fact the new strategy allows the gas ECU to self-adapt through an automatic process, this way resolving all carburation problems related to the aging of the engine and to the variation of the fuel characteristics. (fig.8-1)

This section provides information relating to the various counters.

Time running on gas (hh:mm):

Indicates the total gas functioning time of the system, memorised in the control unit memory in days, hours and minutes. It is not possible to reset counter using the PC interface.

Time running on petrol (hh:mm): Indicates the total petrol functioning time of the system, memorised in the control unit memory in days, hours and minutes. It is not possible to reset counter using the

PC.

Forced start-up on gas: The Bora system allows a limited number of engine start-ups directly with gas. This functionality is to be intended as an emergency operation enabling start-up in case of no petrol or of malfunctioning of certain parts of the original petrol system (pump, injectors, petrol circuit).

To start the engine on gas, introduce the key contact, keep the change-over button pressed, wait for the double beep from the buzzer (about 4 seconds) and start the engine within 4 seconds.

Maximum forced start-ups on gas: Indicates the maximum number of forced start-ups allowed.

Service (hh:mm): Service hours counter.
