Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Teledyne Analytical Instruments (TAI) Model PEM-9004 Gas
Analysis Computer is a multifunction analyzer with integrated
calculating functions. The system is ideally suited for monitoring
heaters, exhaust lines, and other flue gas installations.
The PEM-9004 analyzes the gaseous products of a combustion
process and provides critical information on the state of the effluent
stream. Information is available on-screen and via printed reports. Data
can also be output to a remote device via the USB communication port.
The system is battery operated, lightweight yet rugged so it can be
moved and rapidly setup at any location.
The analyzer measures and displays the O
2
, CO, and with the
appropriate option, SO
2
, and NO content of a gas. It also senses and
measures draft or pressure and the gas temperature at the sampling point
as well as the ambient temperature. An internal database of common
fuels supplies thermodynamic data for calculations that the monitor
performs on the sampled data, to determine the CO
2
and NO
x
concentrations when equipped with the appropriate optional sensors.
The instrument also calculates combustion efficiency, excess air and
other parameters critical in assessing efficiency in a combustion process.
Measured data and test results can be stored in a 100 record
database for later recall and printed on demand from the monitor’s
integral printer. Data can also be monitored remotely via an integral
USB communications port. Numerical data can be output in a variety of
units for customer reports.
Gas and electrical ports along with the display and all operator
controls are accessible from the front panel.
Table 1-1 and 1-2 highlight the PEM-9004 monitoring capability.

values respectively.
