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.
