The Newton Pump Controller is designed to be used with matched pairs of manual versions of Newton Pumps,
and provides a sophisticated, yet simple to install, twin pump control system which offers some of the features
of the Newton Control Panel-Pro, but at a much lower cost.
The controller has a mains powered alarm with battery backup alarm and features interfaces for use with
Newton battery backup and telemetry systems, as well as connections to whole house alarm and monitoring
systems. The major feature of the control system is the self diagnostic program that operates both pumps
on a weekly basis to ensure that they are not stood idle for extended periods, in order to prevent seizure and
premature pump failure. Each pump will operate for 5 seconds, (one after the other) once per week.
Each pump is operated by its own vertical type oat switch with a single reed type switch supplied for the alarm
system which incorporates the same PCB as the Newton PA50 Alarm unit. The panel is designed to be used with
an optional Newton Victron Power Inverter, sized to suit the pumps and installed with sufcient battery power to
ensure continued pumping during power outages.
A typical system is shown below:
PANEL HIGHLIGHTS
1. Two independent power supply inputs - Each pump is separately and independently powered from the
other. The operation of the pumps is not at all dependent on the operation of the Pump Controller. If the
Pump Controller should fail, the oat switches will still have the ability to switch on the pumps as if they
were automatic pumps.
2. Automatic pump duty assist - If one pump cannot cope with the volume of water entering the sump, the
water level will rise to the switch of the second pump, which will automatically start to increase the pumping
capability. Please be aware that separate discharge lines maximises the volume of water removed when this
feature is utilised.
3. Automatic alarm oat checking - An alarm checking signal is continually monitored to conrm the alarm
oat cables have been tted correctly, not been tampered with, or been disconnected.
4. Automatic testing of each pump every 7 days - The test ensures the pumps are used each week. Each
control circuit has its own independent timer to ensure that each pump is tested at different times.
5. Test Button - Both pumps can be started from the panel for testing.
6. Alarm Power - The Alarm is powered under normal circumstances by 230V mains and by internal 9V battery
during power outage.
7. If the sounder is beeping to warn of high water level, you can mute the sounder by pressing the mute
button once. The LED will still ash until reset (in Alarm Mode 1).
8. Pump Counter - An internal, 6 digit counter is included that counts the number of times Pump 1 operates
(Not Pump 2). This count includes the weekly pump test and pump operations activated by the oat switch.
9. Choice of pumps - A choice of a number of Newton manual pumps of 250, 400 and 750 watts.
10. Battery Backup - Optional Newton Victron Power Inverter can be connected to the unit to provide
continuation of pumping (Pump 2) during power outage.
11. Fail-Safe - Telemetry - Pump Controller can be connected to the Newton Dialer (PA5) or to home alarm
system (BMS - Building Management System)

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 metal construction and must be installed in a dry, well ventilated area.
Warning: it is important to read and understand the Pump Controller instructions
This Newton Pump Controller 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 knock-outs to the bottom and side of the panel, and glands are
supplied for recessed mounting.
For ease of maintenance in changing pumps, it is recommended to always use 1 x 32 mm conduit for the two
pumps, 1 x 32 mm conduit for the two oat cables and 1 x 25 mm conduit for the Alarm Float Cable.
For surface mounting, the panel looks neater if the 32 mm and 25 mm conduits are tted directly to the unit.
NOTES:
The two supplied vertical oats, when connected to the unit, are high-voltage. Please note that low-voltage
rated cables cannot be run in the same conduit as high-voltage (230V AC) cables. The Panel must be earthed.
If the sump chamber is full of water on rst powering up the panel, the alarm may sound and both pumps may
start together. When the water level is below the alarm oat, the alarm sounder will cease and the remainder of
the water will be removed by Pump 1.
CONNECTIONS
Mains 1 - 230V AC supply suitably rated to operate Pump 1 from a locally fused spur, preferably from its own
feed off the consumer board.
Mains 2 - 230V AC supply suitably rated to operate Pump 2 from a locally fused spur, preferably from its own
feed off the consumer board OR 230V AC power supply from a correctly sized Newton Power Converter (see
page 10 for information on Power Converter sizing).
Float 1 - Connections to 230V AC vertical type oat switch.
Float 2 - Connections to 230V AC vertical type oat switch.
Pump 1 - 230V AC output to Pump 1.
Pump 2 - 230V AC output to Pump 2.
Dialer - Volt free relay contact which operates upon alarm, sending a signal to ancillary alarm options such as
the Newton Dialer PA5 or BMS. Use NO (Normally Open) and C (Common).

CONNECTION NOTES
• Ensure that the grid mains connection is not connected until all connections are complete and the Pump
Controller casing is tted and locked closed.
• The Alarm Float is the smaller Reed Pivot Switch and the Pump Switches are the larger Vertical Action Float
Switches. The Alarm Float should be installed so that the switch is always closed and only opens when lifted
upwards by rising water.
• The three oats each 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 three switches should be tted to the two pump vertical discharge pipes in order to give a switching
order of: PUMP 1; ALARM; PUMP 2
• Ensure that the switches are set at the correct levels so the pumps operate correctly. If the switch is too
high, the switch may not operate until the water level in the sump is at its peak. 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.
ALARM SET - Attach the battery with the alarm oat in the closed position.
The alarm will continue to sound and the Alarm Warning LED will ash until the client manually resets the alarm.
Pressing the mute button once mutes the buzzer and a second press will reset the alarm and cancel the ashing
LED light. This means that the client will be aware of an alarm condition, even when the second pump has
lowered the water in the sump.
CONNECTION TO NEWTON DIALER - PA5
The Newton Dialer can receive a signal from the alarm of the Pump Controller, allowing notice of the alarm
condition to be received as a voice message to landline phones and as a text message to mobile phones. Up to
8 separate numbers can receive the voice or text message.
The terminals for the connection to the Dialer are at the top of the inside circuit board of the Pump Controller.
Use normal two-core bell wire and make a connection with one of the two coloured wires between the NO
(Normally Open) terminal of the Alarm and Trigger Input 1 of the Dialer, with the other wire connecting the C
(Common) terminal of the Alarm with the OV Trigger Input of the Dialer.
The NC and C terminals in the Alarm (Labelled Dialer) can also be used to send a zero-voltage signal to home
alarm and BMS (Building Management System).
DISPLAY INFORMATION
The Pump Controller fascia is tted with LED lights which indicate the following:
• OPERATING - Blue LED lit steadily with option to reduce brightness via “Set” button (see Controls section on
page 9)
• PUMP 1 - Green LED lit steadily while Pump 1 is running on test
• PUMP 2 - Green LED lit steadily while Pump 2 is running on test (Pump 1 will also be running indicating high
water ingress). If Pump 1 is not running, this indicates that Pump 1 did not start. Contact service engineer.
NOTE: Alarm should have sounded also
• WARNING - Blue LED shows fault on High Water Alarm unit
• WATER HIGH - Blue LED shows High Water Alarm
INTERNAL INFORMATION
COUNTER - A 6-digit counter will count the number of times the output to Pump 1 operates. This count includes
the weekly pump test and pump operations activated by the oat switch. The counter is not enabled by default.
To enable the counter, move the J2 jumper on the PCB from both contact pins to just one contact pin. The
counter can be reset by shorting jumper J2.
CONTROLS
Pump Controller
When the Pump Test button is pressed for three seconds, initially Pump 1 will run for 5 seconds and then stop.
After a 5 second delay, Pump 2 will run for 5 seconds and then stop.
When the Set button is pressed briey, (for 1 second or less) the brightness of the “Operating” LED will be
reduced to half normal brightness. Pressing briey when at reduced brightness will return to default full
brightness setting.
When the Set button is pressed for more than 3 seconds, it will reset the weekly test operation timer so that the
next test will be at the same time the following week from when the button was pressed. The “Operating” LED
indicator will ash 3 times to conrm that the timer has been reset.
High Water Alarm
When the Alarm Test button is pressed, both the alarm indicators will light and the internal buzzer will sound.
When the Alarm Mute button is pressed, the internal buzzer will be silenced.
OPERATION
After installation and power up, the weekly timer will start and the blue Operating LED shall light at full
brightness.
After one week from initial power up (or after a 3 second press of the Set Button as described above), a test
will take place of the two pumps. During the test, both pumps will be separately tested with a 5 second period
between the two pump starts. Pump LED lights will show the test occurring.
The test process will repeat each week.

BATTERY CHECKING WITH VICTRON BMV600S BATTERY MONITOR
The BMV600S provides real time information for the battery or bank of multiple batteries:
• Battery voltage
• Discharge current
• Capacity as a %
Please refer to product Operational Manual.
BATTERY CHECKING WITH BATTERY TESTER
To check the voltages of a battery, (the following is only a guide to the battery performance) test the battery
voltage with the Power Inverter on. Voltage should be approximately 13.5-14.5 Volts. Turn off the Power Inverter,
load the battery and test the new voltage (to load the battery the pump must be on and pumping water). The
new voltage should read between 12 and 13 Volts. If the battery reads below 11 Volts, the battery should be
tested using professional testing equipment and possibly replaced.
CABLES
Battery cables have to carry very large currents and will get warm if the inverter is at full capacity. The cables
must be checked for any damage and not used if damaged. If two batteries are used, the linking cables must
NOT be smaller in size than the cables supplied with the Power Inverter. Power Inverter cables should not be
extended as the voltage drop may affect the unit’s electronics.
PERFORMANCE EXAMPLES
The table below is test data from our pump testing rig and conrms the volumes of water that should be
removed with the specied system. The test rig was set with a pumping head of 4 m with 4 pump starts per
hour, approximately 66 litres of water discharged at each start, water discharge temperature of 20ºC and
standard DC power cables. 400 watt pump ow rate was 137 litres per minute. 750 watt pump ow rate was 225
litres per minute, measured by ow per metre.

Use only Newton Victron Power Inverters with this Control Panel. Newton Power Inverters have an adaptive four-
stage charging circuit: Bulk - for when the battery is very depleted; Absorption - for a nal top up charge, Float -
a trickle-charge that replaces lost charge and nally, storage mode. This 4th stage will reduce the oat voltage to
that of an open circuit of a fully charged battery if a discharge has not happened within 24 hours.
Corrosion and gassing are therefore reduced and after one week the absorption level is raised back up to
compensate for self discharge and will in-turn stir up the internal electrolyte.
The Inverters are silent, except when in Bulk Mode.
INSTALLATION OF POWER INVERTERS
The Inverter/Charger units are mains powered and should be installed by persons who are electrically competent
by way of appropriate training to either t a fused plug or wire directly to a fused spur. Knowledge of DC input
by battery and the connection of DC battery leads to both the battery/batteries and the Inverter/Charger is
required.
The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to the batteries. There
should be a clear space of at least 100 mm around the appliance for cooling.
Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:
• Reduced service life
• Reduced charging current
• Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter
The unit must be installed in a vertical position. Never mount the appliance directly above the batteries.
Always read the Newton Victron Inverter Data Sheet and Operational Manual prior to installation
