Uncompromising on Safety -- adaptable to the need
The EDxtreme exemplifies the trademark precision and rugged construction of Dillon dynamometers. Its highly refined design draws on the inherent strengths of premium grade materials to achieve a 5:1 minimum factor of safety.
While the EDxtreme may be configured for something as simple as a digital hanging scale, it offers a higher level of intelligence. With user-defined functions and sophisticated communication options, the EDxtreme readily adapts to multi-tasking operations or multi-link systems capable of monitoring a series of critical stress points from a single location: it is the definition of application versatility.
Extreme engineering
Building a precision instrument that can survive real-world punishment requires masterful engineering. This is where Dillon's experience shines through. The engineers assigned to the EDxtreme drew on a depth of industrial application knowledge and conducted exhaustive materials testing to achieve the highest structural integrity.
Superior strength and corrosion resistance - High capacity models are constructed of electroless nickel-plated aircraft-quality alloy steel. Lower capacity models are anodized aircraft-quality aluminum. 5:1 factor of safety - This measure of strength and safety is maintained in all capacities. Computer modeling confirms the low stress and the long product life that is inherent in the EDXtreme design. Retained hardware - Allows permanent attachment of centering spacers, which eliminates fumbling during high capacity rigging. NEMA 4X/IP55 - The EDxtreme is clearly the choice for reliability in any environment -- in plant or out on the job site.
Xtreme accuracy: 0.1%
High resolution and accurate repeatable readings are essential to proper weighing. The higher standards set for the EDxtreme meant taking the time to ensure that material characteristics, load element design and strain gauge meshed perfectly. The result of that effort is a typical accuracy of 0.1% of full scale capacity. The enhanced resolution made of 1 part in 5000 provides the level of readability needed for refined weighing.
Xtreme ease
- Exclusive SOFTKEY interface - Dillon has eliminated confusing menus for faster setup and simple operation. In addition to lbf, kgf and Newtons, programmable functions can correct for gravitational variations and allow the use of custom units of measurement.
- Wide andle LCD - Provides improved readability over a wider viewing angle and is available with backlighting for low light conditions.
- Battery operation - The EDxtreme is powered by two standard C-cell batteries. Batteries are easily accessible for fast replacement.

Configuration
Options
A basic stand-alone model can be easily upgraded "in
the field" to accommodate changing needs. Remote configuration,
data acquisition and single-point monitoring of multiple
links are all possible with the hardwired or radio communicaiton
options available with the EDxtreme.
Stand-alone EDxtreme for simple, direct measurement
applications. Available option: basic Communicator with cable for direct connection of Communicator to EDXtreme. |
 |
Single network with one EDxtreme radio dynamometer
and optional Remote Communicator |
 |
Single network with multiple EDxtreme radio dynamometers
and one optional Communicator.
The Communicator offers the ability to monitor the
load at each link as well as viewing the total weight
of multiple dynamometers. |
 |
Multiple network with multiple EDxtreme radio
dynamometers and Communicators.
The Communicators can be set to monitor any dynamometers
in the system or assigned to a specific link or links. |
 |
An RS-232 interface is standard on both the EDxtreme and
optional Communicator for connection to a host PC.
Communications unlock the full potential
of the EDxtreme:
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 Dillon's
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.
