If you are new to AGM, we thought you might like to know something about the history of AGM products.

One of AGM's very first products was the Pulse Duration Transmitter ("Quantimer") which by the way,  is still as popular today as it was 35 years ago.

It was key to utilizing a technology based on monitoring and controlling basic oxygen demand (BOD). Incorporating this technology would allow existing waste water treatment plants to have increased capacity, resulting in reduced capital expenditures as the population grew.  The Pulse Duration Transmitter conditioned the very low millivolt level BOD sensor signal and telemetered it to the BOD monitoring and control equipment.

The Pulse Duration Transmitter was then used for many other applications requiring telemetering of flow, level and pressure sensor signals. Primary users were municipalities and gas/oil companies. This lead the way to the replacing of the older, more expensive electro-mechanical transmitters.

Electro-mechanical receiver/recorders were now being replaced with electronic ones that required a 4/20 madc input. This created a need for converting a pulse duration signal back to a 4/20 madc signal for input to the new recorders.  The Pulse Duration Receiver ("Timeverter") followed suit in product development.

At this point, a metamorphosis was about to occur in the world of Instrumentation and Control. Older electro-mechanical and pneumatic Instrumentation and Control were giving way to solid state devices.

AGM lead the way. As each new requirement arose, AGM quickly produced a product for the requirement. For example - On/off controllers for pumps and furnaces; valve position controllers; speed, temperature and pressure sensor signal converters; computing devices for Summation, Integration, Mass Flow/BTU calculation and Load Control. Emphasis was on low installation and maintenance costs.

It wasn't long after that, that the microprocessor (PLC/PC) was introduced to the world of Instrumentation and Control. Computer based Distributed and Centralized Control systems are now being incorporated. But, only large users can afford these systems because they are very costly to install, startup and maintain.

AGM's microprocessor based products were designed with the user in mind.  They are pre-programmed, factory tested and ready for installation and startup upon delivery. 

All AGM products include technical consultation, software/calibration changes and remote diagnostic support at no additional cost.

So, no matter what your Instrumentation and Control requirements are, AGM has the right products for you.
