USER MANUAL
SAFETY AND WARRANTY
2 Safety and warranty
The XORAYA ML-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 ML-N4000.
2.1 Intended use
The ML-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
ORAYASuite.
X
The ML-N4000 is intended for use only by trained personnel.
The ML-N4000 must not be used in residential or living areas. Its use is
strictly limited to industrial environments.
The ML-N4000 must not be used in hazardous areas.
Always operate the ML-N4000 within its technical specifications.
( Technical data)
The ML-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.

USER MANUAL
2.2 Safety label on the device
You find the following safety label on the ML-N4000 top side:
Burning hazard due to hot surfaces
Continuous operation can strongly heat up the ML-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 ML-N4000.
2.3 General safety instructions
Electric shock caused by damage to components
Any damage to the ML-N4000, power source or connection
cable may cause an electric shock.
DANGER
Switch on the ML-N4000 only if all components
appear undamaged.
SAFETY AND WARRANTY
WARNING
CAUTION
Only commission the ML-N4000 after a proper
installation or repair.
Check the connecting cable regularly for defects to
prevent damage to the power source.
Always install the ML-N4000 in de-energised status.
Defects influencing the environment
The incorrect ML-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.
Device damage due to short circuit
Bent connector pins pose a short circuit risk. This can lead
to abnormal behaviour or destruction of the ML-N4000.
Likewise, devices connected to the measurement setup
may be also compromised.
Make sure that connector pins are not bent.
Check the ML-N4000 regularly for any deficiencies.

USER MANUAL
SAFETY AND WARRANTY
2.4 Product liability
In the following cases, the intended protection of the ML-N4000 may be
adversely affected. The liability is then transferred to the user.
The ML-N4000 is not used according to the manual.
The ML-N4000 is used outside the scope described in this manual.
The user modifies the ML-N4000 without proper authorisation.
2.5 Terms of use
If the installation of the ML-N4000 in a vehicle is intended for operation on
public roads, the user and the X2E GmbH must jointly perform a risk
analysis beforehand. This analysis must take into account the specific
installation requirements and the valid factory standards at the user's site.
Conditions set forth in framework contracts shall apply.
The ML-N4000 is continuously developed. The development process relies
on the cooperation between the user and X2E GmbH.
2.6 Warranty
The warranty period is 12 months. Device batteries, whether internal or
external, are excluded from the warranty. The warranty also excludes
damages arising from improper handling.
X2E GmbH guarantees that the media on which the software is located are
free of material errors under normal operating conditions. Users can return
any defective or materially erroneous media to X2E GmbH within a period of
30 days from date of original purchase. Media shall be replaced immediately
at no cost.
X2E GmbH guarantees that the software as described herein is basically
usable. X2E GmbH, however, shall assume no liability for the correctness
and the continued use of the software, given that the current state of the art
prevents the production of software suitable for all combinations of
hardware and software.

USER MANUAL
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3 Product description
The XORAYA dataloggers are processor-controlled storage units, designed to
record data from several and different data sources simultaneously. These
dataloggers are indeed unique in the automotive industry thanks to their
central 100-ns timestamp on all interfaces. Furthermore, its modular design
allows for a rapid and flexible adjustment to future demands. This is
stressed by the fact that all product phases, i.e. from design and
development to programming and production, are completed in-house.
The dataloggers can be equipped with many different interfaces:
Lowspeed-CAN, Highspeed-CAN and CAN-FD
FlexRay
LIN
RS-232
PSI5
Analog
BroadR-Reach
MOST25 and MOST150
Ethernet 100Base-T and 1000Base-T
GNLog and DLT via Ethernet and RS-232
CCP and XCP
GPS
The ML-N4000, based on the Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC, is the new
generation of the compact and inexpensive X
ORAYA datalogger. The built-in
supercapacitor unit is able to bridge power fluctuations and to shut the MLN4000 down safely in case of power failures.
Data can be directly saved to the storage medium (internally or externally)
or to a computer system via Ethernet interface. Both modes can also be
operated in parallel.
Operation can be managed via the graphical user interface X
ORAYASuite,
whereby the ML-N4000 can be configured, and data recorded and
downloaded from the ML-N4000. Moreover, you can evaluate the recorded
data and export them to many popular formats.

4.5 Connecting the ML-N4000 to the measuring environment
This section describes how to connect the ML-N4000 to the measuring
environment.
Device damage due to incorrect connection sequence
The incorrect connection sequence can lead to abnormal
behaviour or destruction of the ML-N4000.
CAUTION
4.5.1 Interfaces
According to the numbering of the subsections,
connect the interfaces first and then the power
supply.
Please note the correct connection sequence from
top to bottom within the subsection.
Observe pin assignments
the ML-N4000 with the measuring environment. Wrong
pin assignments lead to measurement errors.
Please note the following sequence:
Connect the data cables of all data buses to be monitored in the
measuring environment.
Connect the data cables to the appropriate ML-N4000 ports.
Wherever possible, tighten the connector screws on the ML-N4000 and
in the measuring environment.
The ML-N4000 is connected to all data buses to be monitored.
Loss of data due to port disconnections
Please note the port pin assignments when connecting
To avoid data loss, never disconnect the ML-N4000
during the current recording from connected data buses.
Furthermore, make sure that all connectors are firmly
attached and the screws are tightened.

into low-voltage sockets can be fatal.
Never introduce the 4-mm plugs into low-voltage
sockets.
Connect the supplied power cable only to a power
source that meets the prescribed technical
conditions.
Damage due to incorrect power supply
Using an incorrect power supply can lead to abnormal
behaviour or destruction of the ML-N4000.
Use only the supplied power cable.
Please ensure correct polarity upon connection.
Make sure that the power supply used meets the
prescribed technical conditions.
Make sure that the power supply lies within
permissible operating voltage of the ML-N4000.
Please note the allowable voltage level when feeding
external signals.
Please note the technical specifications on the label
when using the optionally available power cable with
AC adapter.
Damage due to faulty connection
When connecting with live contacts, transient fault
currents with entrained mass may arise on interface
CAUTION
connections which have been already connected.
Please ensure contacts are de-energised when
connecting the ML-N4000 to the power supply.
