Operation

Notes

The key to the operation of the X Thruster lies in parameter settings and fine-tuning, based on various conditions: “gasoline, diesel”, “natural aspiration, supercharged”, “duct installation position”, and “engine single cylinder displacement”. By integrating these conditions that affect the parameters, the system parameter values are determined.

If the appropriate parameters cannot be confirmed, phenomena such as “ineffective effect” and “abnormal fuel consumption” will occur, because the engine control has a self-adjustment mechanism in the detection of combustion, and the thruster can also affect the air-fuel ratio adjustment of the engine.

Based on the difference of individual vehicle conditions, after the system completes the initial setting, the power parameters should be fine-tuned based on the engine acceleration response to obtain the best vehicle response.

Due to the nanoscale oxide molecules’ ability to gradually remove existing carbon deposits, it is recommended to drive approximately 3000 kilometers before performing a parameter recalibration to achieve a responsive engine performance.

At any time, you feel that the vehicle is unresponsive or fails to feel the effect of the system, you can try parameter correction.

The power parameter fine-tuning is adjusted in units of 0.1, usually -0.1 is a more likely option.

If you are less sensitive to the engine response, please have the parameter fine-tuning confirmed by the dealer.

Work Overview

  1. First download the XThruster® app to your smartphone to complete the installation of the control program.
  2. Confirm that the thruster hardware installation is complete.
  3. Start the engine and wait for it to reach operating temperature.
  4. Connect to the XThruster® app using the controller.
  5. Log in to the app and set the power parameters as suggested. (Please ask the dealer for the recommended power parameters)
  6. Carry out a road test to confirm the parameters. Please leave it to the co-pilot to assist in fine-tuning the parameters to ensure driving safety.

Operation

O-01-00

The photo is the indicator light of the controller, and its representative meanings are:

  1. Green light: Power indicator, “Constantly on” when powered on.
  2. Blue light: Bluetooth indicator, “flashing” when not connected, and “constantly on” when connected.
  3. Red light: fault indication, “off” when normal, “flashing” when faulty.

Attention:

  • After the engine is turned off, the system switches to the “stop” state after about 3 seconds.
  • In the “stop” state, if there is no connection with the mobile app, the system directly enters the “sleep” state, and only maintains the “Green light On” and “Blue light Flashing” weak LED lights.
  • The power consumption when the system is “On” is about >= 3A。
  • The power consumption when the system is “stopped” or “sleep” is about 23mA。
  • When the engine is just started, it may take 30 seconds for the system to wake up from “sleep” (engine vibration and voltage rise). During the waiting period, the app may display the system “stop“, which is normal.。

System screen

After logging into the system correctly, the system information is as follows:

System Status“: “Stop” or “Start“, the controller senses the engine vibration and determines whether the system is started or in a sleep state (stop).

Device Status“: “OK” or “Error“, if there is an abnormality in the system, the error and fault code will be displayed.

For example: “Error 13“, the reaction tank cannot communicate with the controller.

Alarm On Off“: “On” or “Off“, the warning sound of the control unit is faulty, and the error warning sound of the control unit can be set to turn on or off.

Pharmacy Level“: “High“, “Medium“, “Low“, it shows the catalyst stock in the reaction tank. Due to the shaking of the vehicle during driving, this information can only be used as a reference. The actual measurement should still directly check the reaction tank gauge .

Sensitivity“: “1 ~ 9“, adjustable engine vibration sensitivity detection, “1” is the most sensitive.

Set Parameter“: Please set the parameter according to the recommended value, and fine-tune it through the actual road test.

Quick Setup“: Allows for quick configuration of power parameters based on vehicle engine specifications and installation method.

Login Out“: Cut off the connection between the control unit and the mobile phone. After the system completes the setting, it will continue to work according to the setting content, and there is no need to continuously connect to the mobile phone.

O-05-01

Set the sensitivity

Click the “Value” of “Sensitivity” to switch to the setting screen:

Sensitivity“: “1 ~ 9“, the adjustable engine vibration sensitivity, “1” is the most sensitive, and the most rapid response to the vibration after the engine is started.

The system control unit is activated according to the vibration after the engine is started. There is a vibration sensor inside, and the recommended value is “1“.

Modify“: After sliding the value to select the setting value, press “Fix” to save the new parameter into the control unit.

Whether the connection with the mobile phone is cut off, the system is powered off, the battery is replaced, etc., the parameters that have been set will continue to exist until the next modification.
