3 Connecting with main devices
Any Safety Accessoryis connected to the test system´s main device (except for VOTANO 100, which is first
connected to VBO2, to which the Safety Accessory and the SAB1 are then connected to). The connection is
made to the main device´s SAFETY output connector (or in the case of VOTANO 100, to the SAFETY
output connector on VBO2) by using a 9-pin D-SUB connector, which is either integrated into the Safety
Accessory (SAA1) itself or by using a safety connector cable, which has 9-pin D-SUB connectors either at
both ends of the cable (SAA2) or at only the other end of the cable (SAA3).
NOTE! Before connecting a Safety Accessory to a SAFETY output connector remove the factory installed
Safety Connector Dongle from the SAFETY output connector (this does not apply to VOTANO 100).
See also 3.2 Use of the main device Safety Connector Dongle(s).
The connection must be mechanically secured by tightening either the locking wheels (SAA1 Beeper Dongle)
or by tightening the locking thumb screws on the D-SUB connectors (SAA2 and SAA3).
It is also possible to cascade (daisy chain) Safety Accessories but there are certain limitations and
recommendations regarding cascading and the selection of the used SAFETY output connector. These
limitations and recommendations are defined in section 3.1 Cascadability.
3.1 Cascadability
Table 4 below lists the allowed cascading (daisy chaining) combinations for the Safety Accessories per one
SAFETY output. When cascading Safety Accessories, the order in which the Safety Accessories are
connected to the main device unit can be freely chosen apart from the requirement that the first Safety
Accessory connected to the main device SAFETY connector must itself have a SAFETY output connector to
enable cascading.
NOTE! Cascading more than two Safety Accessories is only possible with CPC 80/100 as the main device.

Connecting with main devices
15 OMICRON
3.2 Use of the main device Safety Connector Dongle(s)
OMICRON main devices (excluding VOTANO 100) are delivered with pre-installed Safety Connector
Dongles. Some main devices are delivered with one Safety Connector Dongle (CPC 80/100, COMPANO
100) while others are delivered with two Safety Connector Dongles(CIBANO 500, TESTRANO 600). A
Safety Connector Dongle is shown in Figure 1 further below.
NOTE! VOTANO 100 delivery does NOT include a Safety Connector Dongle. VOTANO 100 is connected to
VBO2 and SAB1 safety box is connected to the SAFETY output connector on VBO2 or to the last
daisy chained Safety Accessory. SAB1 includes a similar safety termination as a Safety Connector
Dongle.
The Safety Connector Dongle(s) must always be installed on the SAFETY output connector(s) of the main
device (see Exceptions below). If a Safety Accessoryis to be attached to a main device SAFETY output, the
original factory installed Safety Connector Dongle must first be removed after which the Safety Accessory is
connected. The original Safety Connector Dongle must be then attached to the Safety Accessory´s own
SAFETY output connector, unless another Safety Accessory is cascaded to the first Safety Accessory, in
which case the Safety Connector Dongle is attached to the outermost Safety Accessory´s SAFETY output
connector.
NOTE! The CIBANO 500 and TESTRANO 600 both have two SAFETY OUTPUT connectors (SAFETY 1
and SAFETY 2). Both must have the Safety Connector Dongle installed either directly to the
SAFETY output connector of the main device or to the SAFETY output connector of the outermost
cascaded Safety Accessory.
NOTE! In the case of CIBANO 500 and TESTRANO 600 and when connecting the SAA2 to the main device,
either as the only Safety Accessory or by cascading with other Safety Accessories, the SAA2 can be
connected ONLY to SAFETY 1 connector of the main device.
Exceptions
SAA3 - An exception to the above is the SAA3, which does not have its own SAFETY output connector. In
this case the original Safety Connector Dongle is not connected but should be stored in a secure place for
later use. In case of cascading, the SAA3 must be the outermost connected Safety Accessory.
VOTANO 100 - SAB1 must always be connected to the SAFETY output connector of VBO2 or as the last
daisy chained accessory connected to the SAFETY output connector of VBO2.

4 SAA1 Beeper Dongle
4.1 Designated use
The SAA1 Beeper Dongle generates an acoustic signal when the test system's outputs are activated. Since
CIBANO 500*, VOTANO 100, and TESTRANO 600 have an internal beeper, the SAA1 Beeper Dongle is
optimized for use with the CPC 80 and the CPC 100.
* NOTE! Some CIBANO 500 software versions do not support an internal beeper function.
Compatibility with main devices
SAA1 Beeper Dongle is intended to be used together with the following main devices:
