The Newton Control Panel-Pro is a class-leading pump control panel with many unique features which has
been designed by Newton Waterproong Systems to provide the ultimate in pump operation and diagnosis.
The panel includes interfaces for use with Newton Victron Battery Backup and Telemetry Systems, as well as
connections to whole house alarm and monitoring systems. The Control Panel PCB is split into two separate
circuits, ensuring that pumping will continue even if one of the control circuits should fail. This effectively means
that the Newton Control Panel-Pro is two control panels within one case, offering unrivalled redundancy.
Self-diagnostic programs test the pumps on a weekly basis to ensure correct pump performance. The appointed
service engineer is automatically informed of any detected problem with either of the pumps if the Newton
Dialer telemetry system is either connected (Newton Purchase Code PA5) or installed within the panel (Newton
Purchase Code CP7). A typical system is shown below:
The Newton Control Panel-Pro will operate a maximum of two 750 W 230V AC pumps. The panel is supplied
with a vertical water level oat switch and High Water Level Alarm oat switch. The panel is designed to be
used with optional Newton Victron Battery Backup Systems, sized to suit the pumps and installed with
sufcient battery power to ensure continued pumping during power outages.
PANEL HIGHLIGHTS
1. Automatic alternate duty cycle - Each time the main oat switch calls for a pump to start, the panel will
alternate the command to each pump to share the pump wear.
2. Two independent power supply inputs - One for grid mains and the other for a battery-backed power
supply via an approved Newton Victron Battery Backup System. In the event of a grid mains failure, the
panel automatically switches to battery power. On power restoration, the panel will automatically switch
back to normal grid power mode and recharge the battery or batteries.
3. Alarm on power failure - Panel will alarm on mains failure. The mains fail beep will not sound in mains fail
until a pump operation has occurred, or, if the pumps are not used, the sounder will beep after 12 hours.
This is to prevent unnecessary alarms, mainly at night. An alarm output is sent to trigger the Newton voice
and text Dialer (included with purchase code CP7) or home alarm at the time of the mains power failure.
4. Automatic pump duty assist - If one pump cannot cope with the volume of water entering the sump, the
second pump will automatically start in order to increase the pumping capability. The time period before
the second pump starts is adjustable (master timer setting) to accommodate different sized sumps. There
is also the option to prevent both pumps running at the same time if the system is running from backup
battery.
5. Automatic current monitoring for each pump - The panel checks that the pump is using the correct current
when the pump has been switched on. If the current is too low or a pump cable has been disconnected, the
panel will automatically switch to the second pump. The current in Amps is displayed for running pumps.
As well as the panel audible alarm, an alarm output is sent to trigger the voice or text Dialer (where tted
or included) or home alarm/monitoring system at the time of a pump failure. There is approximately a 30
second delay before the sounder operates after a pump fault is detected. This is to allow the panel to check
there is indeed a pump fault and to silence the sounder unless the fault is conrmed.
6. Automatic main oat checking - If the main oat fails or becomes disconnected, the alarm oat
automatically takes over as the main level control oat (preset to 10 seconds). If in main oat fail mode, the
panel will still alternate both pumps via the alarm oat. An alarm output is sent to trigger the voice or text
Dialer in the event of main oat failure.
7. Automatic alarm oat checking - An alarm checking signal is continually monitored to conrm that the
alarm oat cables have been tted correctly, not been tampered with, or been disconnected.
8. Each pump has its own, totally separate electronic circuit - This allows for one pump to still operate if a
fault develops in the pump that could damage the panel electronics. An alarm output is sent to trigger the
voice or text Dialer in the event of a controller failure.
9. Automatic testing of each pump every 7 days - Testing ensures the pumps are used each week and
will report any problems detected during the 3 second test with an alarm. Each control circuit has its own
independent timer to ensure that each pump is tested at different times.
10. Each pump is controlled by a zero voltage solid state triac - The triac device is controlled by very fast
switching electronics that can detect the change to the 50 Hz cycle to initiate switching at zero voltage.
Unlike mechanical relays or contactors, there are no moving parts to wear out or generate arcing dust or
welding of contacts. This gives the control panel a life duty in the millions of pumping operations, unlike a
mechanical relay that can be as low as 100,000 cycles.
11. The panel monitors the power supply and will alarm if the incoming grid mains voltage fails - The panel
will give a loud beep once per minute in grid mains fail mode. The panel will also auto reset on power
return.

12. The panel monitors the power supply and will alarm if the current to each pump is too high or too
low - The panel automatically checks that the correct power is being used by each pump. If the pump is
disconnected or a pump fuse has blown, the panel will sound a loud two beeps per minute. The alarm will
also sound if the pump is using too much power. Must be reset by pressing the reset buttons or performing
a full reset of the panel.
13. Alarm sounder options - Dip-switches on the sounder allow for programming of up to 32 different alarm
sounds with a fully adjustable volume control also included.
14. Engineer option to mute all sounds other than high water alarm - This can be set by the engineer after a
full panel reset. Hold down the pump 1 mute/reset button and then press the pump 1 button, then repeat
this twice for each pump. The display will ash up AUX SOUNDER OFF. This will stop any beeping other than
for a high water level if the customer requires it.
15. Each pump circuit has it’s own LCD display with a built in ash memory - This display will:
A) Display and store the pump cycles and hours run in an independent ash memory chip for each pump
B) Display any alarms with the description of the alarm, water level high, pump fault, high current, mains
failure and sounder off
C) Display the pump that is running, the current of the pump and the backup battery voltage, allowing the
engineer to monitor pump efciency and battery condition
D) Display the voltage of the converter battery in both grid mains and converter in use modes
E) Display if the panel has had the alarm sounder muted by user
F) Possess an engineer memory reset for resetting all timers and counters
G) Possess a ‘service due’ setting to inform the user that a service is due on the system (this function can be
selected by the engineer)
16. All oat switches are 12 VDC (low voltage) - Via two separate isolation transformers.
17. Each pump has a manual override button and a reset button - The pump button can be pressed at any
time to operate the pump and the reset button to reset the display after an alarm (will not reset if pumping).
18. Display memory resetting
19. Sounder mute - If the sounder is beeping to warn of mains fail or pump fault, you can mute the sounder by
pressing each mute/reset button twice. To remind the user of a muted fault, the mute function will cancel
after 12 hours.
20. Engineer reset of counters and timers (engineer only - see page 15).
The Newton Control Panel - Pro is designed to be used with all or a selection of the following Newton pumping
options:
• A choice of Newton manual pumps of 400 W and 750 W
• A range of Newton Victron Battery Backup Power Inverters to give continuation of pumping via the panel
during power outage
• Newton Dialer, pre-tted to code CP7, that will alert up to 8 different landline or mobile phones with either
text or voice conrmation of the sounding of the alarm
• Newton PA50 High Water Level Alarm as a remote alarm in another location (requires twin core cable
connection)
• Whole house management system (supplied by others). Home automation relays are mounted on the PCB
to allow panel warnings to operate other systems. The relays are contacts volt free. The relays operate for 5
seconds on pump fault, water high or mains fail. Note that a mains fail is NC whilst the others are NO
As mentioned earlier, the panel has two control circuits; Pump 1 and Pump 2. Each circuit has a set of control
dip switches and a timer. The position of these is shown in the diagram below.

USER SELECTABLE DIP SWITCHES AND TIMERS
The Control Panel-Pro is supplied with the pump duty assist timers (shown on page 7) set to 30 seconds for
Pump 1 and 40 seconds for Pump 2. This is the optimum setting for the Newton NP400 pump within a
Titan-Pro sump chamber. The installer should test the system to ensure that one pump completes a pumping
cycle within this set time, before the second pump turns on to assist. Adjust the timers to suit. Always set the
Pump 2 timer to be 10 seconds more than the Pump 1 timer.
The DIP switches are all set to OFF by default. With this setting the Duty assist function will only take place
when the system has mains power. If the system is operating off 12 VDC battery power, the duty assist
function is disabled so that the battery is not drained too quickly. If the system is powered by more than one
battery with a combined storage of over 380 Ah, DIP 2 can be changed to ON, allowing for duty assist during
power outages. If a single battery is used, we strongly advise not to use duty assist and that the DIP switches
are all set to the OFF position. Please see page 12 for further information.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
INSTALLATION WARNINGS:
THIS CONTROL PANEL MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY TRAINED ENGINEERS.
BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION, ISOLATE YOUR MAINS ELECTRIC SUPPLY.
This product should be installed in accordance with the relevant sections of the building regulations code
and the current edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671: Requirements for electrical installations)
and appropriate statutory regulations.
As of April 2004, new installations in the UK should be wired using the EU harmonised colours for the
supply conductors. NEW COLOURS: BROWN = Live, BLUE = Neutral, YELLOW / GREEN = Earth
This installation MUST be earthed.
This control panel is not waterproof, is of a metal construction, and must be installed in a dry, well
-ventilated area.
Warning: It is important to read and understand the control panel instructions
This Newton twin pump control panel has been designed to be wall-mounted or recessed within the wall.
When the unit is recessed into the wall, the routing of all cables is also within the wall, making a neater
installation than if the unit is wall-mounted. Cable entry is via the 7 cable glands on the bottom of the panel.
An extension wiring kit for extending the distance from the panel to the pumps up to 50 M is available. The
purchase code is PA-31 and is a special order with a two week delivery from order.
For ease of maintenance in changing pumps, it is recommended to only have one mains cable per 20 mm
gland. Use the glands as indicated below (numbered from left to right):
1. Mains input cable
2. Power converter input cable
3. Pump one cable
4. Pump two cable
5. Main oat cable
6. Alarm oat cable.
Notes:
Low-voltage rated cables should not be run in the same conduit as mains (230V AC) cables. The panel must
be earthed, not just earthed via a mains cable with a plug tted! Use the earthing point mounted inside on
the bottom of the housing by the gland entry points.
If the sump chamber is full of water on rst powering up the panel, the alarm may sound and both pumps
may start in sequence in pump duty assist mode. When the water level is below the main oat top position,
reset the panel by turning off the power supply for 5 seconds. On power up, the system will operate normally.
The display units can be reset after installation. Please see the instructions on page 15.

CONNECTION NOTES
• Connection of the grid mains electric supply should be carried out by a competent person
• Ensure that the grid mains connection is not connected until all connections are complete and the Control
Panel casing is tted and locked closed
• The Control Panel-Pro is supplied with terminal connectors. These are tted into the motherboard
terminals as shown on page 10. The terminal connectors allow for quick connection and disconnection
to the board. Wiring can be connected to the terminal connectors whilst they are tted to the board or
away from the motherboard
• The Alarm Float is the smaller Reed Pivot Switch and the Level Switch is the larger Vertical Action Float
Switch. The Alarm Float should be installed so that the switch is always closed and only opens when lifted
upwards by rising water
• Both the Level and Alarm oats have two wires. The connection of these wires is not dependent on
polarity and can be tted to either of the terminals for each connection
• The Level Switch should be connected to the vertical discharge pipe of one of the pumps at a height that
allows for the pumps to operate correctly. If the switch is too high, the switch may not operate until the
water level in the sump is too high. If the switch is too low, it is possible that the pump removes all the
water before the switch has turned off. It is vitally important to test the pump switching to ensure the
pumps operate correctly
• The Alarm Float should be tted to the vertical discharge pipe of one of the pumps at a height that is
above the Level Switch

As an approximate guide, with 400 W pumps, one can expect to pump about 12,000 litres of water with
a full NorthStar NSB 190FT battery. This gure is based upon a system with a new battery and the pumps
operating to approximately a 4 m head with approximately 15 minutes between pumping cycles, allowing for
battery recovery time in between each operation. Further information can be found on page 3 of the Newton
Victron Inverters Data Sheet.
The default set-up of this control panel has the ‘pump duty assist’ disabled when the mains power fails, to
prevent very high current draw from the battery if running two pumps together. This setting protects the
backup battery from sudden discharge and will allow the system to pump more water for much longer with
the limited power supply available in the battery. The default DIP setting is OFF on all four DIPs on both the
Pump 1 and Pump 2 DIP switches.
If pump duty assist is required during a power failure, we recommend that a minimum battery capacity of
380 Ah is used. This is achieved by connecting multiple batteries in parallel (4x 100 Ah or 2 x 191 Ah). To
change the default setting, change DIP 2 on both DIP Switches to ON. Note: Battery performance is dictated
by many factors such as the storage temperature and age of the battery, the rising main diameter, overall
length, head and the number of bends, tees and elbows.

Only use Newton Victron Power Inverters coupled with approved and correctly sized NorthStar Batteries
with this control panel. Newton Victron Power Inverters have been designed to work with Newton Pumps
and have special software for battery charging and inverter cooling. All Newton Victron Power Inverters are
tested and calibrated to very high standards before being dispatched from the factory and meet all UK safety
requirements.
Newton Victron Power Inverters include powerful charging circuits and special cooling fan control software.
Newton Power Inverters have a three-stage charging circuit: Bulk - For when the battery is very depleted;
Absorption - For a nal top-up charge and Float - A trickle-charge that replaces lost charge. The Inverters are
silent except when in Bulk Mode.
INSTALLATION OF POWER INVERTERS
Power Inverters must be stored in dry conditions before installation. Power Inverters must be installed in a
dry cool area, with good air circulation and NOT directly above the battery or sealed in an airtight box. Do not
install the Power Inverter near the head of a bed or opposite a wall where someone sleeps. All installations
that have grid mains and generated mains power must be correctly labelled, to inform the user that both
power supplies must be isolated before maintenance. Power Inverters can cause electrocution; take great
care to isolate mains and battery before working on systems by unplugging them. Follow the instructions
included with the Inverter for battery sizing and installation.
Although only 12V, batteries have very high currents of 300 Amps plus, so if you short the terminals with a
spanner, ring or watch for example, they would become white hot in less than 1 second. For this reason you
must remove all metallic rings, watches or any object that may cause a short. If the battery is an open vent
type, you must wear safety glasses and PPE to prevent acid burns. The Power Converter must not have the
mains power connected when tting the battery cables. Joints must be dry and clean. It is very important
that the connection is good and secure, as a bad joint will heat up and cause the cable insulation to melt (re
risk), the voltage to vary, and the Power Converter electronics will be damaged. The battery terminals MUST
be covered by a tamper-proof method and not exposed.

SERVICE DUE SETTING
The engineer can select the service due function by adding a jumper to both service timer contacts. This will
time down from 365 days to “service due” (will not time days when the panel is not powered up). To reset
the service timer, add jumper links to both service timer and display reset links. Press and hold down the
reset buttons until the display reads memory reset. You have to do this for each pump display. If service due
setting is NOT required do not place the jumpers on the two “service timer” links. See below for position of
service timer & display reset jumper links.
RESETTING COUNTER MEMORY AND SERVICE TIMES
To reset the counter and hour meters, link the display reset jumper and remove the service timer link. Press
the rest button until the display reads memory reset. After resetting, replace the service timer link & remove

DISPLAY INFORMATION
1. PUMP CYCLES & PUMP HOURS RUN - (Default display) Displays the cycles and running hours for each
pump from date of installation or engineer reset
2. HIGH CURRENT - Warning of a pump pulling more current than normal. This information may be displayed
when both pumps are running or in mains failure mode. CALL ENGINEER only if this information is displayed
in normal use for longer than 24 hours
3. WATER HIGH ALARM - This warning happens when:
A. The water level reaches the small alarm oat or the wires to the alarm oat have been cut
B. The main oat has failed or the wires to the main oat have been cut
C. Both pumps have failed and no water is being pumped from the sump chamber
DANGER OF FLOODING - CALL ENGINEER. Check power is on to the Panel, check cables and oat switches,
check any fuses. Requires both reset buttons to be pressed to reset the warning
4. MAINS FAILURE - Grid mains to the Panel is off and it is running on emergency power from the Power
Converter and battery. The alarm will beep once per minute after a pump cycle during mains failure.
Depending on the amount of water ow, battery age and condition, the running time from one battery can
vary from minutes to days. Auto-reset on power restoration
5. PUMP FAULT - This indicates that one of the pumps is either not connected, damaged, pumping air, or
an internal pump protection fuse has blown (10 A) due to a major pump fail. The alarm will BEEP twice per
minute, 30 seconds after the pump failure. CALL ENGINEER. Press both reset buttons to reset
6. PUMP CURRENT, BATTERY VOLTS - This information is only displayed when a pump is running. The
information is for the engineer to monitor the current that each pump is using and the condition of the
backup battery voltage. This information is also useful in mains fail mode to check the back up battery
voltage when a pump is running. The voltage in normal use on grid mains should be 13.5 -14.8 Volts, this
indicates the back up battery is being charged
7. SOUNDER OFF - This information warns the user the alarm sounder has been MUTED. If the alarm sounder
is active and cannot be reset, CALL ENGINEER
8. DISPLAY BACK-LIGHT - The back-light will be on low when the panel is powered up. The back-light will go
bright to indicate which pump is running, the display will show the pump current and battery voltage
9. SERVICE DUE - This information indicates the service option has been activated by the engineer and the
annual pump service is now due. CALL ENGINEER
Note, warning information or alarm sounders can be reset by pressing the reset buttons (it will not reset if
pressed while the display back-light is bright or the pumps are running). The reset will only happen if the
reason of the warning has been corrected. If it cannot be reset, CALL ENGINEER.
To MUTE the sounders: Each display has its own internal warning sounder and the panel has one main
alarm sounder. ONLY MUTE THE SOUNDERS IF YOU ARE SURE. CALL ENGINEER IF THE PANEL INDICATES
A FAULT OR SOUNDS AN ALARM YOU CANNOT RESET.
To mute an alarm: Press the mute buttons twice on each pump when the pumps are not running. This
will mute the sounder for 12 hours only. To remind the user of a muted fault, the mute function will
cancel after 12 hours. YOU CAN ONLY MUTE THE SOUNDER WHEN THE PUMP(S) ARE NOT RUNNING.
TO CANCEL MUTE (sounder off), turn both grid mains and inverter mains off for approximately 5 seconds.
This will reset the mute function.
OPERATING A PUMP MANUALLY . To operate each pump manually, press the pump button. The display
back-light will brighten and the display will show pump current in amps and the backup battery voltage.
Both pumps can be operated if the panel is operating on mains power. If the panel is powered via the
Power Converter and battery, the panel (with default settings) will allow one pump to operate at a time.
