  • Page 97 Maintenance mode are not included in the averages calculated by the GC. 4.5.6  Conserve calibration gas To save calibration gas, the Rosemount 470XA has a unique feature called Cal-Gas Saver that reduces calibration gas usage significantly. During normal operations, the next stream will start to be purged through the sample loop from when the sample shut-off valve that is operated by the back-flush valve timing, at around 25 seconds, is opened, through to the start of the next analysis.
  • Page 98 4.5.7  New Module software assistant When you install a new analytical module on the Rosemount 470XA and turn on the power, the GC recognizes that a new module has been installed and starts the New Module software assistant, which heats up the oven, runs carrier gas through the analytical paths, and cycles the analytical valves to rapidly purge the system.

NOTICE Changing the CPU board will also start the New Module software assistant because of the mismatch between the CPU board and the analytical module.
  • Page 100 Using the Rosemount 470XA Manual June 2023 MS-00809-0100-0470 Figure 4-14: Calibration Concentration Information When the oven temperature has stabilized, the software assistant automatically runs the calibration gas and validates the module. The validation runs three analysis cycles of calibration gas and confirms that the analysis is within the pre-configured specifications. If the analysis is within the specifications, a calibration cycle is then run.
