3 Connecting with main devices
Any Safety Accessory is 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.
