Novar India Ltd, a part of Novar Plc, UK, has launched a series of products in the category of Fire Detection & Alarm Systems, for the Indian market.

Fire Detection & Alarm Systems provide primary monitoring and control of a building's life safety systems - systems designed to provide early warning of smoke and fire conditions and safe evacuation of building occupants. In addition, its seamless combination of event information, response prompting and tracking capabilities makes it an exceptional incident management and regulatory compliance tool.

NovarGent is the UK's leading specialist in protecting life and property against fire. NovarGent has always taken the initiative in pioneering new developments such as 'true' analogue technology and loop-powered sounders and has led the way in imposing rigorous quality standards within the industry. The key offerings of NovarGent are:

System 8000

It consists of a control panel and other devices that are designed to offer an affordable solution to the issue of protection of buildings with complex fire safety needs. A tele-diagnostic programme allows an engineer to interrogate, diagnose and rectify problems on the fire system from any location using a PC and modem. A text display combined with LED indicators will clearly pinpoint a fire or fault condition.

System 8000 presents a range of control panels and system devices offering an affordable solution to fire detection on a wide range of buildings with differing fire safety needs. Can be used right from residential applications viz., apartments, bungalows to commercial, software technology parks, IT & IT-enabled services.

With microprocessors present in each detector System 8000 is so intelligent that it can detect and communicate fire much faster than any of the systems available in the market.

System 34000 analogue addressable fire detection & alarm systems

It is the market leader in the protection of large buildings and complex sites. System 34000 is highly flexible and can grow and adapt to changes in the building use. System 34000 has proven ability to distinguish real fire from false alarms with speed and accuracy and ensures peace of mind. They operate at low running costs.

The new intelligent detector

It is the latest detection technology to prevent false alarms and compatible with both 8000 and 34000 systems. The new design offers key benefits of:

• Detecting a very wide range of different burning materials with consistent and reliable sensitivity

• Differentiating between genuine fire and deceiving interference particles such as fumes and steam, thereby eliminating false alarms.

• Pinpoint detection of a fault up to 1 km from the control panel using analogue technology

Both the systems have the unique S-cubed devices which is an innovative range of good-looking products offering sound, strobe and speech effects in combination. The S­cubed product offers the benefit of a major technical advantage - the lowest power consumption in the industry.

In India, Novar's Fire Detection & Alarm Systems have been successfully installed in Forum Mall, Bangalore, HP, Bangalore, Keane Software, Delhi, State Bank of India, Mumbai, Tata Teleservices, Tamil Nadu, and RPG Cellular, Chennai.

In the international markets, these products are installed in Hyatt Regency - Malaysia, Emirates Twin Towers, Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Resort, Burj Al Arab Tower and Citibank HO - Dubai, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank & American University Complex, Sharjah, Raffles Hotel - Singapore, Hilton Hotel - China, British Embassy - Abu Dhabi, Algarve Hotel - Portugal, and Kingdom Trade Centre, Riyadh, Imperial Hotel - Ireland.

One of three Novar's activities, Novar IBS, supplies around £ 600 m of products and services to building operators, contractors, developers and consumers worldwide.

In December 2003 MK Electric became Novar India Ltd. With the introduction of a bouquet of internationally renowned brands like Esser, Gent and Trend, it became necessary for the company to reflect one common identity to represent the width. Internationally, the parent company is Novar Plc. With the new identity and global image, the strategy shifted from product development to vertical development.
