One of the foremost reasons for choosing an electronic dynamometer is added functionality. The radio or hardwired options available with the EDxtreme offer the convenience and safety of remote operation. Additionally, data from the dynamometer(s) can be downloaded to a PC via an RS-232 connection for compilation and analysis or to generate hard-copy printouts.

Remote control and radio communications are not new to the Dillon product line. In fact, it is the depth of Dillons experience in this area that led to meaningful innovations in the design of the EDxtreme and its optional remote Communicator.

Improved radio performance

Unlike the single frequency products on the market today, the EDxtreme radio dynamometer utilizes leading edge 2.4Ghz radio frequency technology to eliminate common interference. This technology will automatically hop from frequency to frequency to establish and maintain the strongest, most reliable communication.

Dynamic Monitoring and control

The optional Communicator is an extremely powerful hand-held remote that can define the function and manage the operation of one or more EDxtreme dynamometers using wired or radio technologies. Through the programmable SOFTKEY interface, one Communicator can monitor multiple dynamometers within the same airspace. In multiple-link lifting arrays, the Communicator can display readings at any or all lift points and calculate the total load.
