EDxtreme Dynamometer User’s Manual
Keep all the following in mind as you use the EDX dynamometer.
The system capacity is equal to the rating of the dynamometers. The
shackle rating should not be used to determine lift capacity of the system.
The shackles are rated in metric tons. Thus the 12-ton shackles are rated
to 26,450 lbf and are suitable for use on the 25,000 lbf dynamometer.
Any zeroed deadload must be considered as part of the ultimate load.
Although this instrument has a substantial overload protection rating, the
instrument should not be used above the rated capacity. Doing so can
significantly impact fatigue life of the instrument and cause premature and
abrupt failure. If a higher capacity reading is needed, Dillon insists that a
larger instrument be used.
Safety is always a concern in overhead lifting and tensioning applications.
To limit your liability always insist upon factory supplied shackles and pins
and factory tested and certified safe optional equipment. All DILLON
products are designed to meet the published Safe Working Load (SWL)
and Ultimate Safety Factor (USF) standards of the United States Military.
Do not grind, stamp, drill or deform the metal on the dynamometer body in
any way. Protect the instrument from impact in use and storage.
Any significant damage or deformation to the loading element is cause for
evaluation by Dillon, particularly in the element side members to the right
and left of the display.
Relieve all torsional and off axis loads.
Apply load in the center of the shackle bow with this instrument.
Off center loading results in substandard performance.
Instrument requires time to stabilize when changing temperatures.
Use only the hardware supplied with this instrument. If no hardware was
supplied, insure that the mating pin and shackle bow is equivalent to the
hardware used at calibration. Otherwise substandard performance or
failure can result.
Dillon recommends only using qualified rigging hardware and cannot
be responsible for unapproved hardware.
This instrument is not designed for the following:
• Applications that see rapid, dramatic temperature swings or thermal
shock. Wide variation in readings can occur.
• Environments with high electromagnetic fields such as cranes em-
ploying electromagnets to lift metal. These induce trace voltages that
are picked up within the load cell lead wiring and appear as inaccu-
rate loads.
• Intrinsically safe environments. This unit has not been Factory Mutual
tested.
Safe Operation
If you overload this dynamom-
eter you could suffer severe
injuries or death. The total
load on the dynamometer
should NEVER exceed the
rated capacity.
CAUTION: Remove batteries
from instrument when using
the external AC power supply.

6EDxtreme Dynamometer User’s Manual
Radio Safety The radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such
manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is
minimized.
When connecting an external antenna to the device, the antenna shall be
placed in such a manner to minimize the potential for human contact
during normal operation. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall
not be less than 3 inch (7.5 cm) during normal operation. The antenna is
located at the connector panel on the Communicator.
Radio systems are vulnerable to interference, resulting in delays between
the dynamometer scale and remote. In some instances of interference, the
display shown on the remote may be several seconds old. This can result
in a hazardous situation when the system is used as the reference for
acceptable loads in cases such as proof loading and monitoring of binding
or overload. In these applications where timely updates are critical, a
communication cable should be used to physically connect the EDxtreme
and Communicator remote (see setup of RS-485 communications).
Alternately, the EDxtreme display can be observed directly.

Low power radio systems
should not be used in applica-

EDxtreme Dynamometer User’s Manual
Introduction
The EDxtremeTM (EDX) electronic dynamometer from Dillon is a force
measurement load sensor and digital readout in one instrument. The EDX
can be used to measure tension or weight. It can operate stand-alone or
be coupled with a remote Dillon Communicator, via radio communication
or direct wire connection, for improved convenience, functionality and
safety.
This manual covers the setup and operation of the EDX and optional
Communicator. General information is covered in the right column of each
page with major sections separated by the black bar shown above. Sub-
heads appear in the left column along with any special notes, cautions or
warnings.
This manual covers the following:
• EDX & Communicator Description
• EDX Setup
• Communicator Setup
• EDX & Communicator Operation
• Troubleshooting
Be sure to read the safety precautions found in the Safe Operation section.
The EDX comes in several weight capacities. All have the same front
panel, shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
EDxtreme front panel
There are four “hard” keys and four “soft” keys. The hard keys are perma-
nently labeled and the soft keys are just below the display. The soft key
functions change and the key label appears above each key on the dis-
play. Sometimes the individual soft keys are referred to as the F1, F2,
F3 and F4 keys as numbered from left to right.

Power On and Annunciators
When you power up the EDX you will see a display similar to the example
shown on the left in Figure 3.
Figure 3
Initial displays
The display sample above shows several symbols you may see on your
display but usually not all at the same time.
Force. This tells you that the display is showing live force measure-
ment at the moment. Will show Peak when viewing Peak
Mode.
lbf Current unit of measure is lbf in this example. May also be kgf,
N, or up to 2 other custom units.
~Motion symbol. This appears when the force is in motion. This
symbol disappears when motion ceases.
YThis shows the radio is configured ON but is not in communi-
cations with any Communicator.
YThe battery in the device is low and the radio section has been
turned off. The device will continue to display (EDX will display
force applied and Communicator will display dashes) but will
be unable to communicate by radio or, EDX or the Communi-
cator are improperly configured for RF communications on
Comm port #2 with no RF PC board installed.
(Y) (Y) 2 Ys indicate the Communicator is in communications with an
active EDX.
Battery annunciator. This shows approximate remaining
battery life.
Capture of a new peak value. This annunciator will remain lit
for a few seconds.
Press the Arrow key to move between the two displays in Figure 3. In the
display on the right in Figure 3, one of the soft keys is labeled Setup. Press
this and you gain access to the soft keys shown in the Setup Menu in
Figure 4.
Arrow key
Depending on permission
settings and/or revision of
firmware, various soft keys
may be in a different location
or not visible.
lbf and kgf are units of force,
not weight. They will be close
to their mass counterparts, lb
and kg, for most applications
and at most locations. See

tion.

A-D Press this key to test the A-D section of the EDX. You need to
apply force to change the counts and test the unit. The A-D is
the electronics portion that converts analog load cell signal to
digital numbers.
Disp. Press this key to perform a display test. Stop the test by
pressing the ESC key.
Keys Press this key to perform key tests. Any key pressed will be

Ntwrk Press this key to perform a self-test of the radio’s system.
Comm The serial test is an internally conducted diagnostic which
requires a jumper across transmit and receive. This requires a
plug or cable assembly. Pressing the Serial soft key accesses
the following soft keys:
COM1 Press this key to test COM1 in a loopback test.
COM2 Press this key to test COM2 in a loopback test.
To perform a COMM test, the

Reso stands for resolution. Resolution is the value by which the EDX
displays increments. Press this key to set the unit to standard (1000
divisions) resolution or enhanced (5000 divisions) resolution. For example:
10,000 lbf would count by
10 lbf (10,000 lbf/1000 divisions = 10 lbf) in standard resolution
2 lbf (10,000 lbf/5000 divisions = 2 lbf) in enhanced resolution
Standard resolution may have 1000 or 1250 divisions. Enhanced resolu-
tion may have 4000 or 5000 divisions. This follows normal display incre-
ment practice of changing by 1, 2, 5 or a multiple or submultiple of those
