Newton Control Panel-Pro

Key Benefits

• Automatic alternate duty cycle.
• Two independent power supply inputs – One for grid mains and the other for a battery-backed power supply via a Newton Victron Battery Backup System.
• Alarm on power failure – Panel will alarm in the event of mains failure.
• Automatic electrical current monitoring for each pump.
• Automatic pump duty assist – If one pump cannot cope with the volume of water entering the sump, the second pump will auto-start to increase the pumping capability.
• As well as the panel’s audible alarm, an alarm output is sent to trigger the optional Dialer or home alarm at the time of a pump failure.
• Automatic main float checking – If the main float fails or becomes disconnected, the alarm float automatically takes over as the level control float.
• Automatic alarm float checking – An alarm checking signal is continually monitored to confirm the alarm float cables have been fitted correctly, not been tampered with or haven’t been disconnected.
• Each pump has its own totally separate electronic circuit – This allows for one pump to continue to operate if a fault develops in the pump that could damage the panel electronics. An alarm output is sent to trigger the optional Dialer in the event of a controller failure.
• Automatic testing of each pump every 7 days – Tests ensure the pumps operate 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.
• 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.
• 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 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-Pro a life duty in the millions of pumping operations unlike a mechanical relay that can be as low as 100,000 cycles.
• The panel monitors the power supply and will alarm if the incoming grid mains voltage fails.
• 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, a pump fuse has blown or they are using too much power, the alarm will sound.
• Engineer option to mute all sounds other than high water alarm – This can be set by the engineer after a full panel reset.
