Understanding AGD Product Numbers
Ever wondered what the digits in our product codes stand for?
Overview
Every AGD product is assigned a unique product number that defines its build specification. This reference appears on order confirmations and product labels and is used during manufacturing to ensure the correct product configuration is produced.
Understanding the product numbering system is particularly useful when:
- Ordering replacement units
- Identifying existing products
- Re-ordering customised products
- Confirming hardware specifications
Product Number Format
AGD product numbers consist of three fields:
Example
318 - 512 - 022
│ │ │
│ │ └── Interface / Output
│ └──────── Configuration
└────────────── Model| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Model | Identifies the product family and technology |
| Configuration | Defines power supply and build standard |
| Interface / Output | Specifies communications and output options |
Field 1 – Model
The first three digits identify the product model.
Example:
318This corresponds to the model referenced in AGD datasheets and manuals and is printed on the product label under MODEL.
Model Type Ranges
| Model Range | Technology |
|---|---|
| AGD1XX | AGD Test Equipment (General) |
| AGD2XX | Radar (8.2–12.4 GHz) |
| AGD3XX | Radar (18.0–26.5 GHz) |
| AGD4XX | Passive Infrared (8–14 μm) |
| AGD5XX | Inductive Loop (16–130 kHz) |
| AGD6XX | Vision-Based Equipment |
| AGD7XX | Not Used |
| AGD8XX | Not Used |
| AGD9XX | Nearside Signal & Miscellaneous |
Field 2 – Configuration
The configuration code is made up of three digits.
Example:
512The three digits represent:
- Supply voltage
- Build standard
- Build revision
Digit 4 – Supply Voltage
The first configuration digit identifies the product's operating voltage.
| Digit | Voltage Supply |
|---|---|
| 1 | 12 V DC |
| 2 | 24 V AC/DC |
| 3 | 230 V AC |
| 4 | 110 V AC |
| 5 | 12 V DC or 12–24 V AC/DC |
| 6 | 48 V AC |
| 7 | 40 V AC |
| 8 | 6 V DC |
| 9 | 32 V AC |
Note: The operating voltage is also printed on the product label.
Digits 5–6 – Build Standard
The remaining two digits define the build standard for that voltage variant.
Standard Products
200In this example:
- 2 = 24 V AC/DC
- 00 = Standard AGD production version
Custom Products
Custom configurations are numbered sequentially:
- 306
- 307
- 308
- etc.
Each unique customer-specific hardware or performance variant receives its own configuration number.
The configuration code is shown on the product label under CONF.
Important: If you require an exact replacement for an existing customised product, quote both the Model and Configuration numbers when ordering.
Field 3 – Interface / Output
The final three digits define the communications interface and output type.
Example:
022The seventh digit is currently unused.
Digit 8 – Interface
| Digit | Interface |
|---|---|
| 0 | Bluetooth |
| 2 | Wi-Fi |
Digit 9 – Output Type
| Digit | Output |
|---|---|
| 1 | Single Switched Output |
| 2 | Dual Switched Output |
| 3 | RS232 |
| 4 | RS422 |
| 5 | RS232 + Switched Output |
| 6 | RS422 + Switched Output |
| 7 | Ethernet |
Example Breakdown
Product Number:
318-512-022| Section | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 318 | Product model |
| 5 | 12 V DC / 12–24 V AC/DC supply |
| 12 | Customer-specific build standard |
| 0 | Bluetooth interface |
| 2 | Dual switched outputs |
Ordering Replacement Products
When ordering replacements, always provide:
- Model number
- Configuration number
This ensures any customer-specific hardware or firmware modifications are replicated correctly.
Notes
- This numbering system applies to current AGD products.
- Interface and output codes (digits 8 and 9) may not accurately represent legacy products.
- Always refer to the product label when confirming a product specification.
