ATTENTION! STAG AFR is an alternative to expensive exhaust gas analyzers. Due to high-speed measurements of lambda parameter (AFR - air-fuel ratio), it is possible to control air-fuel mixture not only in steady but also in transient engine operating states...
STAG AFR is provided with an analogue 0V to 5V output. It can be used to connect an external AFR indicator, as well as chassis dynamometers with an analogue input for the AFR reading, external data loggers and standalone/piggyback type ECM units.
The wideband oxygen sensor that comes with the kit is factory calibrated and requires no periodic calibration. If the probe requires to be replaced, the sensor of the same code (0 281 004 026) should be used. The use of improper sensor will damage it. Before mounting remove the transport protective plastic cap from the sensor.
turbocharger, as exhaust gas pressure variations upstream the turbocharger may cause a false reading. The sleeve should be placed at the maximum available distance from the cylinder head, and in turbocharged engines - from the turbocharger (50 cm minimum). Otherwise, the oxygen sensor can overheat and fail! When the probe is installed too close to the cylinder head it may overheat and fail! A gap of at least 50 cm should be kept.

For both studies the composition of the mixture only at maximum engine load (e.g. calibration of sequential autogas systems or fuel feed system equipped with a wideband oxygen sensor, where the air- fuel ratio at low and partial engine load is controlled by the engine controller), when the exhaust gas stream is strong, as well as the measurement at idle and at low engine loads when the ambient air might disturb the measurement at low gas flow, shown in (Fig.

5.4 "Gauge” tab Figure 7. Main window ("Gauge" tab). The Gauge tab contains a dial indicator of the measured value (default: AFR - lambda parameter) and corresponding numerical value is displayed below it. The dial indicator has colour-coded ranges that facilitate visual evaluation of the air-fuel ratio with no necessity to read an accurate value.
Green – rich mixture, for engines with factory installed oxygen sensors, the value within this range is correct at maximum engine load only, otherwise such values may occur at any engine load and rpm, Yellow – stoichiometric mixture (air-fuel ratio ensuring complete fuel combustion), for engines with factory installed oxygen sensors, the value within this range is correct at low and partial engine loads, ...
Fuel – used to indicate what fuel type is currently fed to the engine (only for computing AFR), Sensitivity – when the oxygen sensor is installed to close to engine exhaust valves, the result of measurement may change too rapidly, thus making its interpretation difficult;...

6. Guidelines for use of the STAG AFR controller In gasoline engine, the optimum air-fuel mixture composition (AFR - Air/Fuel Ratio) is one gram of fuel per 14.7 grams of air. For this ratio, all oxygen available in supplied air is theoretically used to completely burn all of the fuel.
6.2 Adjustment of LPG/CNG direct injection in spontaneous combustion engines Diesel engines are adapted to be fed with a lean mixture. To measure composition of very lean mixtures occurring at low and medium loads, it is necessary to observe oxygen content (in %) in exhaust gas (the "Measured value"...
