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 Accessory is 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.
