LPG/CNG Controller ALEX OPTIMA PICO

the right choice for those looking for a solid control computer at a reasonable price

ALEX OPTIMA PICO is an innovative controller designed for 3- and 4-cylinder engines with multipoint fuel injection.

Small dimensions, high functionality and affordable price – these three features perfectly describe the versatile ALEX OPTIMA PICO controller (piccolo-small). Based on the experience and reliability of the ALEX OPTIMA nano and ALEX OPTIMA EXPERT controllers we have created a maximally simplified product. The use of innovative solutions has allowed the development of a device with minimal dimensions. This greatly simplifies its installation even in the most cramped engine compartments. This controller contains all the tools necessary to convert cars to LPG/CNG.

A simple intuitive program known from other OPTIMA controllers allows for quick calibration, and the small number of connections guarantees minimum interference in the original engine system. Limiting communication cables allows for quick assembly. Connection of RPM and plus signal after stations is optional.

PICO controller is designed for 3- and 4-cylinder units that do not require the use of a driver with OBD protocol support. The controller works with: Wankel, Valvetronic, naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines.

ALEX OPTIMA PICO and ALEX OPTIMA nano controllers have the same connectors and harnesses, so they can be used interchangeably.

If, during installation or tuning of the LPG system, the petrol injection function or correction map is needed, replace the PICO controller with a nano controller. Just like that, without drilling or disassembly - the harness and connector in both controllers are identical.
