2Safety and warranty
The XORAYA N4000 and 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 datalogger.
2.1 Intended use
The datalogger 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 analyze them using the GUI of the
XORAYASuite.
▪The datalogger is intended for use only by trained personnel.
▪The datalogger must not be used in residential or living areas. Its use
is strictly limited to industrial environments.
▪The datalogger must not be used in hazardous areas.
▪Always operate the datalogger within its technical specifications.
(➔Technical data)
▪The datalogger 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.

2.2 Safety label on the device
You find the following safety label on the datalogger top side:
Burning hazard due to hot surfaces
Continuous operation can strongly heat up the datalogger.
As a result, it can burn the skin on the hands when
touching it.
Wear temperature-resistant ESD gloves when in
contact with the datalogger.
2.3 General safety instructions
DANGER
Electric shock caused by damage to components
Any damage to the datalogger, power source or
connection cable may cause an electric shock.
Switch on the datalogger only if all components
appear undamaged.
Only commission the datalogger after a proper
installation or repair.
Check the connecting cable regularly for defects to
prevent damage to the power source.
Always install the datalogger in de-energized status.
WARNING
Defects influencing the environment
The incorrect datalogger 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 behavior or destruction of the datalogger.
Likewise, devices connected to the measurement setup
may be also compromised.
Make sure that connector pins are not bent.
Check the datalogger regularly for any deficiencies.
