Dillon Communicator II AWT05-509199
The Dillon Communicator II (Model AWT05-509199) is an enhanced handheld wireless remote display unit engineered for use with Dillon EDXtreme RED series dynamometers. This advanced model features all the capabilities of the standard Communicator II, plus a powerful 105dB audible alarm system for critical safety applications.
It functions as a central wireless communication hub, receiving and displaying readings from up to fifteen linked dynamometers simultaneously while providing audio alerts when preset load limits are exceeded. This combination of visual monitoring and audible warnings makes it ideal for high-risk lifting operations where immediate notification of dangerous conditions is essential.
Note: This model is marked as (NEW) in Dillon’s 2025 product lineup, representing the latest advancement in their wireless monitoring technology.
