LEASED TELEPHONE LINES

ARE FOR THE BIRDS

TELEPHONE LINES ARE being replaced with optical cable, radio modems and cellular phones at  an ever increasing rate;  sometimes without prior notice.  This is causing operating and engineering problems, particularly for telemetry and control schemes used by water, sewer and pipeline companies.  However, these affected agencies are finding a simple solution to this situation using AGM's DATA HANDLER "plug and play" modules.  Advanced electronic hardware and software enable anyone to make the installation. Factory delivery can be made in one day. Cost is unbelievably low and can be amortized within a few months by savings of leased line expense. Perhaps, even if you are not having technical operating problems, you may consider the DATA HANDLER modules for realizing cost savings between "leased" and "dial-up" telephone service.

YES! You don't have to wait until your lease is up. The "Plug and Play" DATA HANDLER will work with your existing dedicated wire pair as well as dial up telephone lines and radio modems.

YES!  You save money by using the internal perpetual chronograph and date/time stamped data logging feature for optimizing data acquisition versus time of day phone usage charges.

YES! There are no hidden engineering or hardware costs. The DATA HANDLER interfaces with your existing remote sensor/hardware and local display/control equipment without any additional system modifications.

YES! Adding a remote site is as easy as adding a telephone number. Use the multiple telephone number, autodialing, and “logic" functions to expand your control system, one site at a time.

YES! The DATA HANDLER continually monitors communication integrity and will automatically switch to local control/data logging if any interruptions in service occur.

YES! For the same cost as a Simplex "Pulse Duration" telemetry system. You get complete supervisory control capability with the DATA HANDLER Full Duplex communications feature.

YES! Para-technical personnel are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for answering your questions, performing remote diagnostics and making any changes to control configuration settings as operating requirements change.

YES! The DATA HANDLER includes signal conditioning/isolation. The package is hermetically sealed and comes with an unconditional 7 year warranty.
