Project
Projects
The combining of Crompton Lighting, Menvier and JSB brands under the Cooper Lighting and Safety Ltd. umbrella, offers the opportunity of continuity of design for installations, using the most suitable products from the now comprehensive range. This is particularly relevant in major projects, where co-ordination of design, supply and on site support is often critical to ensure the smooth completion of a contract.
To service the level of support required, Cooper Lighting and Safety have recently formed a Major Projects Team. This team brings together specialists in the mains lighting, emergency lighting and fire detection systems. In addition, the design and supply of sister company products from the Cooper group can be brought together as a comprehensive package proposal.
If you have a major project requiring a multi-discipline solution, give our Major Projects Team a call.
International Firex will be at the NEC Birmingham UK, from 11th - 14th May 2009. Europe’s leading fire protection and prevention show will have a comprehensive seminar programme and a training centre and Cooper Fire will be one of the exhibitors.

WEEE Directive
The EC directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) (SI 2006 no 3289) becomes law in the UK on the 1st July 2007.
The Directive aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment, by increasing re-use and recycling and reducing the amount of WEEE going to landfill.
Cooper Lighting and Safety products produced since 13th August 2005 have been marked with a crossed out wheelie bin underlined with a thick black line -
and one of the Cooper Brands as illustrated below -
Cooper Lighting and Safety is responsible for the treatment, disposal and wherever possible recycling of all products produced since that date.
Cooper Lighting and Safety has registered as a producer of Non Household WEE, its responsibilities under the Waste Electrical and Electronic (Producer Responsibility) Regulations 2006 will be discharged on its behalf by Lumicom Ltd, under the Lumicom compliance scheme.
Lumicom can be contacted at -
Ground Floor, Westminster Tower, 3 Albert Embankment, London SE1 7SL
Our WEEE producer registration number is WEE/AB0073UQ
In compliance with the legislation Cooper Lighting and Safety will also accept back for disposal through Lumicom on a like for like basis any Historic WEEE of any manufacture (Products produced before 13th August 2005, identified by the lack of the thick black line under the crossed out wheelie bin). This applies where new Cooper Lighting & Safety products have replaced the equivalent amount of historic WEEE products. If any Historic WEEE is to be returned this must be advised prior to our acceptance of the order and a method and period agreed for the return of this waste.
Lamps are not the responsibility of Cooper Lighting & Safety, but are the responsibility of the lamp manufacturer marked on the lamp. Most lamps are returned via the Recolight Scheme at www.recolight.com.
Batteries are not in their own right considered as WEEE, and in many cases have been replaced through life. Lumicom offer a simple chargeable collection scheme for these at www.lumicom.co.uk
All products returned must have their lamps and any batteries removed before return, as these items reduce the ability of a lighting product to be recycled due to pollution.
To arrange disposal of any products under this scheme please contact Lumicom.
Environmental Policy
Cooper Lighting and Safety believe that environmental responsibility means seeking to behave in a way that protects and preserves the environment.
In order to demonstrate our commitment to the environment Cooper Lighting and Safety has established a formal environmental management system according to the principles set out in BS EN ISO 14001:2004 "Environmental Management Systems".
Export
Menvier Products
Founded in 1975, Menvier (Electronic Engineers) was formed to provide products to the rapidly expanding emergency lighting market. Very quickly, the Menvier brand name became synonymous with quality emergency lighting solutions, attracting interest in export markets as well as the UK.
The early 1980's was a time of expansion, firstly with the start of fire alarm production in 1982 and then the acquisition of Amberlec Central Battery systems in 1984. Menvier became a public limited company in 1986 and embarked on further growth between 1988 and 1995, purchasing related businesses around Europe as well as in the UK.
Security products were added to the portfolio with the acquisition of Menvier Security and Scantronic in 1992 and 1995 respectively. The company became clear market leaders during this period, attracting the interest of Cooper Industries Inc., who purchased Menvier in1997. The JSB and Crompton brands were also acquired by Coopers in 1999, leading to the formation of Cooper Lighting and Security.
Fire Alarm Definitions
Addressable system is a system in which signals from each detector and/or call point are individually identified at the control panel.
Alarm of fire is a warning of outbreak of fire, originated by a person or by an automatic device.
Alarm receiving centre is a permanently manned centre, usually provided by a commercial organisation, the staff of which, upon receipt of a fire signal notify the fire service.
Analogue system A fire alarm system where the detectors give output signals representing the value of sensed phenomena.
Automatic fire alarm system is a fire alarm system comprising components for automatically detecting a fire, initiating an alarm of fire and initiating other action as arranged; the system may include manual call points.
Beam detector A type of smoke detector which detects smoke by the obscuration of a beam of infra red light passing between a transmitter and receiver.
Conventional fire alarm Normally consists of a control panel linked to a number of circuits of smoke, heat detectors and manual call points, and having a number of sounder circuits. Consists of a control panel providing separate circuits per zone for detectors and call points and at least two circuits for alarm devices.
Critical signal path All components and interconnections between every fire alarm initiation point (callpoints and detectors) and every fire alarm device.
Fault warning is an automatic indication given audibly and/or visibly that a fault exists in a fire protection system.
Fire alarm control and indicating equipment is a combination of fire alarm control equipment and fire alarm indicating equipment.
Fire alarm control equipment is equipment which, on receipt of a fire signal, controls the giving of a fire alarm by one or more of the following:
(a) fire alarm sounders (b) fire alarm indicating equipment (c) transmitting a signal to other fire alarm control equipment.
Fire alarm device is a component of a fire alarm system used to give warning of fire usually a sounder of visual alarm.
Fire alarm indicating equipment is part of a fire alarm system located at protected premises which provides indication of any fire alarm or fault warning received from fire alarm control equipment.
Fire alarm remote indicating equipment is the part of an alarm system which indicates the status of the protected premises from where a fire alarm or fault warning is being transmitted.
Fire alarm sounder is a component of a fire alarm system for giving an audible warning of fire.
Fire alarm system is a system of fixed apparatus for giving an audible and/or visible and/or other perceptible alarm of fire and which may also initiate other action.
Fire alarm transmission link is an electrical circuit for transmitting fire signals and fault warnings from protected premises to a central (fire alarm) station or to a control room.
Fire Authority is the Local Government Authority with a statutory responsibility for providing the services of a fire brigade and supporting services in a given geographical area.
Fire detection system is a system of fixed apparatus, normally part of an automatic fire alarm system, in which fire detectors, control equipment and indicating equipment are employed for automatically detecting fire and initiating other action as arranged.
Fire Detection System Design
SYSTEM DESIGN In order to undertake the process of designing a fire system for a building it is necessary to have a sound understanding of the relevant design standards, the legal framework surrounding building safety legislation and a sound working knowledge of product application theory. The importance of consultation with all relevant parties cannot be overstressed, neither can the importance of specialist advice in relevant areas. The following system design process is intended to give a reasonable overview of all the areas of knowledge required for the successful design of a fire alarm system. It is envisaged that the user will refer to the information contained within the design section to determine the areas where further detailed advice will be required and to give guidance as to where such advice may be contained. Due to the complex nature of legislation and design standards relating to fire alarm system design, this design guide is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to all aspects of fire alarm design but rather a very useful source of background information to which further application specific detailed information can be added from other sources as required. The standards referred to in this section relate to the UK and Europe. Although the principles are broadly universal, it is recommended for readers in other countries that they familiarise themselves with specific local requirements from their own standards, only using the British or European standards where these have been accepted by local fire authorities. Information relating to equipment facilities and performance apply to Cooper Lighting and Security equipment and may not necessarily apply to other manufacturers equipment. The reader should carefully check whether such comments relate to equipment from other manufacturers before considering alternative equipment.
OVERVIEW OF THE DESIGN PROCESS The following describes a typical fire alarm system design process, after each item a section number is provided which relates to the area within the design guide where further information can be found. • Understand the reasons for installing the fire alarm system in the specific property (section 1) • Conduct a risk assessment to help determine requirements (section 2) • Consult with all interested parties (section 3) • Decide on the relevant design standard (section 4) • Establish if third party approval is required - for equipment and/or installation. • Decide on the type of alarm technology to be used • Decide on the appropriate protection category and extent of coverage where relevant (section 5) • Discuss and agree the fire strategy (section 6) • Plan the zoning of the building (section 6) • Select and position relevant system components (section 7) - Select the appropriate detectors for each area - Position the detectors - Select suitable callpoints and position at appropriate locations - Agree on the means of summoning the fire authority - Plan the alarm signalling arrangements (sounders, beacons, pagers etc) • Select a suitable panel (suitably sized and rated with adequate standby autonomy) - Review the design such as to - minimise the potential for false alarms (section 8) - Select Contractor - Ensure suitable wiring of the system (section 9) - Make suitable arrangements for commissioning (section 10) - Appoint/Establish responsible person (section 11) - Make suitable arrangements for ongoing maintenance and monitoring of system performance (section 11)
