Introduction
The DAB NgPanel is an advanced electronic control and protection panel designed for managing one or two pumps in wastewater lifting stations, suitable for both commercial and residential buildings. This unit is ideal for both filling and drainage applications, offering real-time water level monitoring, automatic pump start/stop, thermal motor protection, and remote surveillance capabilities.
The NgPanel features an IP55 protection rating for outdoor operation and is compatible with pumps from various brands, making it an excellent choice for upgrading existing pumping systems. Its user-friendly display and intuitive setup wizard allow for quick commissioning in just five basic steps.
Combined with DAB Virtual Cockpit and DConnect, the NgPanel provides a seamless and intuitive pump control experience, accessible directly at the installation site or remotely from any location via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Setup and Installation
The NgPanel is designed for quick and easy commissioning, typically within 5 minutes and 5 basic steps, guided by an intuitive wizard on the display.
Initial Configuration Steps:
- Language and Unit of Measure: Select your preferred language and measurement units.
- Operating Mode: Choose between 'filling' or 'drainage' mode based on your application.
- Absorbed Current Setting: Configure the current absorption for your pumps.
- Control Type: Select the type of controls used, such as floats or level probes.
- Pump Exchange Mode: Define how multiple pumps will operate (e.g., alternating).
Physical Connections:
The control panel includes connection terminals for power supply, pumps, thermal protection, and alarm outputs. Ensure all connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
- Power Supply: Terminals for single-phase (L1, L2, L3) or three-phase power.
- Pump Connections: Terminals for single-phase or three-phase pumps (U-V-W).
- Thermal Protection: Dedicated terminals for connecting thermal protection devices.
- Alarm Outputs: Three output contacts for alarm signaling via warning lights or sirens.
The NgPanel features a self-extinguishing thermoplastic enclosure with an IP55 and NEMA 3R protection rating, making it suitable for outdoor installation. Capacitors for single-phase pumps are supplied as an accessory kit.
Operating Instructions
The NgPanel provides intuitive control and monitoring of your pumping system through its graphic display and integrated connectivity.
Local Operation:
The graphic display allows for easy interaction and configuration. Use the guided wizard for initial setup and to adjust parameters such as:
- Operating mode (filling or drainage)
- Type of controls (floats, level probes, or depth probes)
- Reviewing alarm history
Remote Operation (DConnect):
The NgPanel is equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling remote monitoring and management via the DAB DConnect application or web portal. This allows you to:
- Monitor pump status and system parameters in real-time.
- Receive alerts and notifications for anomalies.
- Adjust settings and operating modes remotely.
In the absence of a Wi-Fi connection, a DAB Wi-Fi modem kit can be connected directly to the dedicated USB port inside the panel.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your NgPanel and connected pumps.
General Checks:
- Periodically inspect the internal components of the panel (components, conductors) for any traces of humidity, oxidation, or dirt.
- Ensure all components are clean and verify that all connections are correctly tightened.
- Check that all cables and connectors are properly secured.
System Monitoring:
The NgPanel continuously monitors the system for potential issues. Visible alarms include:
- Pump overheating or overload.
- Water infiltration in the oil chamber.
- General malfunctions or failures.
- Excessive number of pump restarts.
The system also has the capability to calculate the quantity of water pumped out of the collection tank, which can aid in performance monitoring.
Troubleshooting
The NgPanel is designed to detect and signal various anomalies. When an alarm occurs, the system will provide an indication on the display and via the DConnect app.
Alarm Indications:
The display will show specific alarm messages. Refer to the alarm history for a detailed log of events. Common alarms include:
- Pump Overload/Overheating: Check pump motor, power supply, and ensure no blockages.
- Water Infiltration: Inspect the pump's oil chamber and seals.
- Malfunction: Review system connections and sensor functionality.
- Excessive Restarts: Check level sensors and operating parameters.
Remote Assistance:
In case of an anomaly, the DConnect system will notify you and suggest checking the installation or organizing a timely intervention. The DConnect portal and app provide detailed graphs and event logs to assist in diagnosing issues.
