EDxtreme Dynamometer User’s Manual
Introduction
The EDxtreme
TM
(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.

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.
