Introduction
Intended use
The XORAYA DATACUBE is a fast read-out station for XORAYA external storage units. Up to six
devices can be connected and accessed by a terminal or PC.
The DATACUBE is designed for industrial areas and must not be used in residential areas.
You may only operate the DATACUBE within the scope of the technical specifications provided
in this user manual. Additionally, the use in hazardous areas is not allowed.
The connecting cables may be extended up to a maximum of 30 m, while it is not allowed to
extend the power cord between AC adapter and DATACUBE.
You can find the declaration of conformity at the end of this user manual.
