2 Safety and warranty
The XORAYA Z7 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 X
ORAYA Z7.
2.1 Intended use
The XORAYA Z7 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
X
ORAYASuite.
The XORAYA Z7 is intended for use only by trained personnel.
The X
ORAYA Z7 must not be used in residential or living areas. Its use is
strictly limited to industrial environments.
The X
ORAYA Z7 must not be used in hazardous areas.
Always operate the X
ORAYA Z7 within its technical specifications.
( Technical data)
The X
ORAYA Z7 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 interface connection lines may be extended up to a maximum of
30 m provided that the data lines are shielded like the connecting
cables supplied.
The voltage supply line may be extended up to a maximum of 3 m with
sufficient cross-section.
USER MANUAL
SAFETY AND WARRANTY
11
The XORAYA Z7 and the additional device XORAYA external storage unit meet
the requirements of the EMC Directive of the European Union if the
connecting cables supplied are used. You can find the declaration of
conformity at the end of this user manual. Exact names of the compliant
product variants are available on request.
During ESD and burst tests, the values for USB fall below minimal operating
specifications because of its plug and play character. Subsequently, the USB
device can be connected again and data traffic can be continued.
During ESD tests with a connected X
ORAYA external storage unit, the XORAYA
Z7 shuts down, starts again automatically and continues logging in HDD
mode. Online logging has to be restarted manually via the corresponding
button.
The results of the tests specified by the standard LV 124 (Electric and
Electronic Components in Motor Vehicles up to 3.5 t) is available on request.

2.3 Product liability
In the following cases, the intended protection of the XORAYA Z7 may be
adversely affected. The liability is then transferred to the user.
The X
ORAYA Z7 is not used according to the manual.
The X
ORAYA Z7 is used outside the scope described in this manual.
The user modifies the X
ORAYA Z7 without proper authorisation.
2.4 Terms of use
If the installation of the XORAYA Z7 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 X
ORAYA Z7 is continuously developed. The development process relies
on the cooperation between the user and X2E GmbH.

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.

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 X
ORAYA Z7, based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC, 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 X
ORAYA Z7 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 X
ORAYA Z7 can be configured, and data recorded and
downloaded from the X
ORAYA Z7. Moreover, you can evaluate the recorded
data and export them to many popular formats.

ORAYA Z7 and
in the measuring environment.
The XORAYA Z7 is connected to all data buses to be monitored.
Loss of data due to port disconnections
To avoid data loss, never disconnect the X
ORAYA Z7
during the current recording from connected data buses.
Furthermore, make sure that all connectors are firmly
attached and the screws are tightened.

4.5.2 Power supply
This chapter describes the default connection to a DC power supply via the
supplied power cable. If you use the optionally available power cable with
AC adapter, please note the specifications on the adapter label.
DANGER
Electric shock due to improper connection of the power
supply
Introducing the 4-mm plugs of the supplied power cable
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.
CAUTION
Damage due to incorrect power supply
Using an incorrect power supply can lead to abnormal
behaviour or destruction of the X
ORAYA Z7.
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 X
ORAYA Z7.
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.
CAUTION
Damage due to faulty connection
When connecting with live contacts, transient fault
currents with entrained mass may arise on interface
connections which have been already connected.
Please ensure contacts are de-energised when
connecting the X
ORAYA Z7 to the power supply.

Continuous current of the DC power supply
A 12 V DC power supply must deliver a continuous
current of 1 A with 3 A peaks. Use a regulated power
supply or a car battery and note the required voltage and
current values.
Please note the following sequence:
Connect the power cable to port (L) on the X
ORAYA Z7.
( Connections and controls)
Tighten the connector screws.
Connect the black plug of the cable to 0 V or ground.
Connect the red plug to the power supply.
The XORAYA Z7 is securely connected to the measuring environment.
Once the supply voltage is established, the XORAYA Z7 turns on and displays
its operational status via the power button LED (K).
CAUTION
Damage due to improper device shutdown
Disconnecting the power supply during operation may
cause data loss and the destruction of the X
ORAYA Z7.
Never disconnect the X
ORAYA Z7 from the power
supply while in operation.
Ensure proper connector seating and tighten the
screws if possible.
Only shut down the X
ORAYA Z7 through the
X
ORAYASuite or the power button on the front panel.
Pull the black plug connected to ground last when
disconnecting the X
ORAYA Z7 from the power supply.
