2Safety and warranty
The XORAYA N4000 dataloggers were developed according to the latest state
of the art and offer outstanding safety levels. During operation, however,
this safety level can only be achieved if the user complies with all relevant
safety regulations.
Upon measuring, safety regulations of the professional associations must be
observed.
Please contact an expert or the service of X2E GmbH when in doubt about
the operation, safety, or connection of the N4000.
2.1 Intended use
The N4000 is used for real-time acquisition of data communication in
automotive bus systems. You can perform, store and transfer measurements
to a PC, where you can read and analyse them using the GUI of the
XORAYASuite.
▪The N4000 is intended for use only by trained personnel.
▪The N4000 must not be used in residential or living areas. Its use is
strictly limited to industrial environments.
▪The N4000 must not be used in hazardous areas.
▪Always operate the N4000 within its technical specifications.
(➔Technical data)
▪The N4000 may only be used under the conditions and for the
purposes for which it was designed.
▪Repairs may only be carried out by trained personnel of X2E GmbH.
▪Operational safety cannot be guaranteed after modifications or
conversions.
▪Except for data buses, never perform measurements on live parts.
▪The 4-mm plug of the power supply cable delivered must never be
introduced in low-voltage sockets.
▪The data lines may be extended up to a maximum of 30 m (USB: 3 m,
eSATA: 1 m) provided that they are shielded like the supplied cables.
▪The voltage supply may be extended up to a maximum of 3 m with
sufficient cross-section.

2.2 Safety label on the device
You find the following safety label on the N4000 top side:
Burning hazard due to hot surfaces
Continuous operation can strongly heat up the N4000. As
a result, it can burn the skin on the hands when touching
it.
Wear temperature-resistant ESD gloves when in
contact with the N4000.
2.3 General safety instructions
DANGER
Electric shock caused by damage to components
Any damage to the N4000, power source or connection
cable may cause an electric shock.
Switch on the N4000 only if all components appear
undamaged.
Only commission the N4000 after a proper
installation or repair.
Check the connecting cable regularly for defects to
prevent damage to the power source.
Always install the N4000 in de-energised status.
WARNING
Defects influencing the environment
The incorrect N4000 configuration can lead to the
temporary or permanent functional failure of connected
vehicles.
Connected vehicles being operated on public roads bear
an increased risk of injury and damage.
If available, use configuration templates provided by
the vehicle manufacturer.
Use preferably the passive recording modes of the
interfaces.
CAUTION
Device damage due to short circuit
Bent connector pins pose a short circuit risk. This can lead
to abnormal behaviour or destruction of the N4000.
Likewise, devices connected to the measurement setup
may be also compromised.
Make sure that connector pins are not bent.
Check the N4000 regularly for any deficiencies.
