Definition

The Communicator II is Dillon’s wireless accessory system designed to work alongside the EDxtreme electronic dynamometer. It receives force data wirelessly from the EDxtreme and displays it on a remote indicator — allowing operators, supervisors, or quality personnel to monitor force levels in real time from locations that may be hundreds of feet from the dynamometer itself. This is essential in high-tension power line operations, heavy crane lifts, and load testing scenarios where proximity to the measuring point is unsafe or impractical. The Communicator II also supports data logging and reporting functions, creating a documented record of force events over time. It represents approximately 4% of total worldwide Dillon sales (model AWT05-506447).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Communicator II Matters

In power line stringing, the operator controlling the tensioning equipment may be far removed from the dynamometer's physical location. Without remote data, they must rely on radio communication — introducing lag, transcription error, and safety risk. The Communicator II closes that gap by delivering live force data directly to the operator's position.

How Dynamic Measurement Uses It

DMS sells the Communicator II as both a standalone accessory and as part of an EDxtreme system configuration. Their technical staff can advise on proper system setup for specific field configurations.
