Dillon Communicator II AWT05-506447
The Dillon Communicator II (Model AWT05-506447) is a handheld wireless remote display unit engineered for use with Dillon EDXtreme RED series dynamometers.
It functions as a central wireless communication hub, receiving and displaying readings from up to fifteen linked dynamometers simultaneously. This allows operators to monitor load, tension, or force across multiple lift points from a single screen—improving both efficiency and safety in critical lifting and testing operations.
Manufactured by Dillon, a global leader in precision force-measurement instruments, the Communicator II extends the company’s long-standing legacy of reliability and innovation in industrial measurement technology.
