Crystal Vision Introduction
Indigo 2 CoolFlow User Manual R1.3 3 20/06/2012
1 Introduction
The Indigo CoolFlow range comprises two frame types: 4U frames for up to 24 modules and
2U frames for up to 12 modules.
There are two 2U frame variants - passive front panel and active front panel which is a
Statesman-enabled version without controls or a display. The active panel Statesman-
enabled frame has also got Ethernet capability.
This manual covers:
Indigo 2 CoolFlow with passive front panel
Indigo 2SE CoolFlow Ethernet capable with active panel, no controls or display.
The Indigo 2SE CoolFlow version also supports Statesman.
There are configurable rear connectors and space for up to two plug-in power supplies. The
dual supply facility allows for redundancy and continued operation in the event of a power
supply failure.
All models have a hinged front panel that allows easy access to removable fan assemblies,
power supplies and modules.
The Indigo 2 CoolFlow frame with front control panel open
There are three easily accessible front fans. One is fitted on a detachable plate in front of the
PSUs and the other two are attached to the rear of the front panel.
If the front panel is opened an optical sensor switches the PSU fan on and at the same time
the front panel mounted fans are switched off. If one fan fails, or operates too slowly, the
other fan is automatically switched to full power and an alarm asserted.
A frame temperature sensor mounted above the top central module position (slot 5) also
controls fan speed.
There are two cooling modes: automatic and maximum.
With automatic cooling both front panel fans run continuously, increasing in speed as the
temperature inside the frame goes up.
In maximum cooling mode both front panel fans are set to maximum speed. This mode is
ideal for equipment bays where noise is not a concern.

Crystal Vision Introduction
Indigo 2 CoolFlow User Manual R1.3 4 20/06/2012
Only one of the fans is essential in normal operation. If one of the fans should fail, the
closed frame can still operate indefinitely with an ambient temperature of 40 degrees.
Warning: Although it is possible to operate the frame with the front panel open, the frame may not
meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements in this condition.
The Indigo PSUs have a built-in processor, which communicates with the front panel
display processor (referred to as a PIC) and monitors power rail voltage levels (+5.75V and
-6.0 V). The PSUs also store their own serial number in non-volatile memory.
The panel processor regularly receives status updates from the PSU processors about power
rails. This allows the front panel to update its status LEDs and control the alarm changeover
relay. The relay contacts are available on Remote 2/4 connector on the rear of the frame.
There are five two-colour LEDs on an active or passive front panel, with yellow/green
indicating a normal condition and red an abnormal condition. If the LED is unlit, this
indicates an inactive condition such as a single PSU fitted or PSU fan not running with the
front panel closed. There is also a yellow comms LED that flashes when comms are
received.

7 RX+ bus RS422
8 RX- bus RS422
The signals on pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are also available on the Remote 2 connector.
Note: TX and RX are defined on the boards. This connector can be used to link two frames
where one frame is either an active frame or Statesman-enabled. Alternatively a
REMIND remote control panel can also be connected here and used to control up to two
passive Indigo 2 frames. If an external RS422 control device is to be used ensure that the
controller will drive the RX+ with TX+ etc.
Note: Since there is no ground connection via the 422 Bus two frames or other pieces of
equipment that share this connection must have a common ground connection. This will
normally occur through the earth pins on the mains connectors.

Terminating the RS422 Statesman chain
The RS422 communication chain used for Statesman should be terminated when a frame is
the last device in a chain or a when a frame is the only device. It is unterminated for all other
applications including when frames are used with a Statesman Hub.
To change the RS422 communications termination access the RS422 term/unterm switch at
the top of the front control panel by opening the panel and lifting it upwards.

found.
2U board top-edge switches and LEDs
Note: The Indigo 2 CoolFlow with the passive front panel will have a reduced build front
panel PCB so not all switches and LEDs will be present
Frame Address
The frame address, which only relates to active panels such as the Statesman-enabled, is set
to give a frame or frame pair a unique address when used in serial 422 connected systems. In
a TCP system the frame address switch must be set to zero.
Rotary Switch Position Description
Frame Address Normally zero This is usually the address of the frame from 0 to 15.
Note: Set this switch to position 0, unless multiple frames communicate with a single PC port
in a Statesman system, or if multiple control panels connect to a single frame via one
multi-drop cable.
Statesman will display the Hex switch settings 0 to E as frame addresses 1 to F; switch
setting F will be displayed as frame address 10.

Crystal Vision Installation
Indigo 2 CoolFlow User Manual R1.3 13 20/06/2012
Status LEDs
These LEDs are useful for trouble shooting the network link. The link LED will be
illuminated whenever the frame is connected to a network. Should this LED not be lit
check the cable connection between the frame and network outlet. The data LED flashing
will indicate that communications between the frame and the network exists.
Description
Data Flashing This LED will flash to indicate activity.
Link Normally lit This LED will be lit whenever the frame is connected to an Ethernet network.
Lower/Upper slot range
This switch is used when configuring a frame pair where the two frames must have their
individual slot addresses. The position of the two-position slide switch labelled
Lower/Upper on the top edge of the front panel PCB must be placed in the lower position
for one frame and in the upper position for the other. Which frame of a pair selected to be
upper and lower is not important.
Refer to the address range table in the section entitled 'Selecting different modules' in
chapter two for the module addresses assigned when frames are operated as a pair.
The two frames should be connected so that control can pass from one frame to the other
using an RS422 serial link.
Config Switches
Piano switch
Switch 1 & 2 controls the cooling fan modes. Switch one control which of the two
cooling regime is to be implemented. Quiet mode uses a set of slightly higher temperature
bands and will allow the frame to heat further before increasing the fan speed. This setting
is idea for when the frame is situated in a noise sensitive area and is lightly loaded. Switch
2 controls whether the fans are in auto mode or maximum speed.
1 Fan Normally up (best cooling), Down quieter running.
2 Fan Normally up (auto), Down front panel fans full speed.
3 Debug Normally up, no user function.
4 Default IP address Normally up. Down sets IP address to default 10.0.0.201.
Note: Auto mode is dependent on PSU and PSU fans not being in an alarm state.
If one of the fans should fail, the closed frame can still operate indefinitely with an
ambient temperature of up to 40°C.
Although only one of the fans is essential in normal operation a faulty fan should be
replaced as soon as practical to prevent the long-term stressing of the modules.
Warning: Although it is possible to operate the frame with the front panel open, the frame may not
meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements in this condition.

Crystal Vision Installation
Indigo 2 CoolFlow User Manual R1.3 14 20/06/2012
Switch three is for debug purposes and should normally be left in the up position.
Default IP address (Indigo 2SE only)
Switch four in the down position sets the active front panel to the default IP address of
10.0.0.201. This default address is necessary to be able to change the IP address during
installation.
PSU Configuration
PSU configuration only applies to the 2U and 4U frames where it is possible to have
multiple power supplies fitted into a single frame. Should a power supply not be fitted in
either the upper or lower slots of the 2U frame or the upper or lower slots of the lower
section of the 4U frame, the position of the two-position slide switch must be set
accordingly.
If both power supplies are fitted the slide switch is set to position two. If the switch is set to
one and there are two power supplies fitted, the LOWER PSU LED will flash from GREEN
to OFF every two to three seconds to warn that the switch is incorrectly set. Should only a
single power supply be fitted with the switch set to position two, a power supply fault will
be registered.
2.5 Controlling two frames from one panel
A single active or remote control panel may control modules in up to two frames. This
constitutes a frame pair where one frame is set to its upper slot address range and the other
to its lower address range. Only one panel in a frame pair needs to be non-passive.
If a remote REMIND panel is used the controlled frames need only have passive panels, if
both frames are controlled from one frame that frame should have an active panel and the
other a passive panel.
Note: If a frame pair has been established solely for Statesman control, one of the frames can
have a Statesman panel and the other a passive panel.
The two frames can be up to 10m apart depending on cable type and ambient electrical
noise.
Slot number range
The position of the two-position slide switch labelled Upper/Lower on the top edge of the
front panel PCB must be placed in the Lower position for one frame and in the Upper

Crystal Vision Installation
Indigo 2 CoolFlow User Manual R1.3 15 20/06/2012
position for the other. For example it could be set to the Lower position for the Indigo 2SE
CoolFlow frame and Upper for an Indigo 2 CoolFlow or Indigo 1 CoolFlow frame.
The number of modules reported to the active display includes the PSUs and front
panel/frame as the Indigo front panel PIC and the two power supplies have an address and
are treated as modules. Refer to the address range table in Chapter 3 - 'Operating the active
panel' for more information.
The two frames should be connected so that control can pass from one frame to the other
using an RS422 serial link.
Note: The switch will only have an effect the next time the front panel is powered up.
Establishing a serial link
This can be accomplished with a special cable linking the Remote 2 connectors or by using
a CAT-5 patch cable linking the '422 Bus Output' connectors.
Using a CAT-5 patch cable
A CAT-5 cable (TIA/EIA 568A CAT-5 PATCH) is plugged in the connectors labelled ‘422
Bus Output’ on each frame.
Using Remote 2 connectors
A special cable is connected between the 'Remote 2' D-Type connectors of the two frames.
The cable required uses two female 26 way high density D-Type sockets. These should be
connected with screened twisted pair cable containing two pairs. All the wiring is pin to pin.
Pins 16 and 7 should use one twisted pair, pins 17 and 25 the other. The screen should be
connected to pin 6 on both connectors.
Note: The Comms LED will flash when communication has been established.

Indigo 2 CoolFlow User Manual R1.3 16 20/06/2012
Setting frame addresses
The frame address, which only relates to a non-passive panel, is normally set to zero.
However, unique frame addresses are required in Statesman systems where multiple frames
communicate with a single PC port. The address of a frame pair is set by its non-passive
panel.
Indigo active/remote/Statesman panel hardware settings – Frame address
Note: Passive panels do not have a Frame Address switch.
Rotary Switch Position Description
Frame Address Normally zero This is usually the address of the frame from 0 to 15.
Note: Set this switch to position 0, unless multiple frames communicate with a single PC port
in a Statesman system, or if multiple control panels connect to a single frame via one
multidrop cable.
Statesman will display the Hex switch settings 0 to E as frame addresses 1 to F; switch
setting F will be displayed as frame address 10.

2.6 Ethernet control
Ethernet control is provided by the Indigo 2SE CoolFlow frame. This allows the Statesman
PC control system or remote active control panels to control a large number of the Indigo
Ethernet series frames over a local area network.
Statesman control of Indigo frames over the Ethernet

Indigo 2 CoolFlow User Manual R1.3 18 20/06/2012
Setting up and connecting
The frame can be connected to a network port or directly to a PC from the rear panel RJ45
port labelled Ethernet. If connecting directly to a PC, a CAT-5 cross over cable will be
required. Connecting to a network port hub uses a straight CAT-5 cable.
To access the internal web page set the frame to the default IP address by setting the default
IP address switch DIP4 to down. Open up your PC web browser and set its search to
http://10.0.0.201 and select ‘go to’. This is the default IP address, the sub-mask being
255.255.255.0. After a dialogue box has briefly appeared the Indigo main status page will be
displayed. This page will give a large amount of status information about the frame and its
power supplies. From the webpage several options are available such as changing the IP
address and frame naming.
Note: Once the IP address has been changed the status page will be accessible via this new
address.
The Indigo Status page

Crystal Vision Installation
Indigo 2 CoolFlow User Manual R1.3 19 20/06/2012
Note: It is possible to verify that the correct frame is being viewed by first recording the Hex
switch setting (second line in status list), this is the setting of the frame address switch.
Rotate this switch to something other than the number displayed. Refreshing the browser
will then reflect this change and verify that the correct frame is being communicated
with.
Status
The status page gives an overview of the frame and its power supplies. The information
that can be found here includes general information about the network attributes, frame
name and serial number etc plus more frame specific information like internal
temperature, fan status and PSU type. Further information is also given about the
individual power supplies.
Changing the IP Address
An Ethernet-enabled frame will need to have its IP address set upon installation. This is
made possible by setting the frame to act as a web server and then accessing an internal web
page. Any software upgrades can also be downloaded to the frame via this web page.
From this web page you are able then to change the IP address manually or automatically if
DHCP is available. A frame serial number may also be entered.
To reset the IP address, from the status page select the Network link. A new page will open
allowing entry of the required IP address and Netmask. Enter the new IP address and
Netmask information and select Change. Should the frame be connected to a DHCP running
network and a fixed IP address is not required, leave all the information blank and tick the
DHCP box before selecting ‘Change’.

Once Change has been selected the Network screen will be replaced by a confirmation
screen. As instructed lever four must be returned to the up position and the front panel
power cycled. This can be achieved by either briefly interrupting the power to the frame or
if this is not convenient, removing the ribbon-cable connection to the front panel. Care must
be taken not to bend any pins in the cable connect as attempting to re-straighten any bent
pins is likely to result in their fracture.
