Accelerate Your Savings with the Cooper InVision(TM) Downtime Reduction System


ST. LOUIS, September 6, 2007 - Cooper Bussmann introduces its ROI Before You Buy 90-day trial program to demonstrate its new Cooper InVision(TM) System's ability to minimize each downtime occurrence for substantial cost savings. The program, offered for a limited time, provides customers a site assessment, support services and system components to allow testing of a specific customer-selected process before expanding the System to other critical circuits.

"We are so confident the Cooper InVision System will save our customers hundreds of thousands of dollars in downtime, we want to make it easy for them to try it," explained Joe Fox, director, systems & services, Cooper Bussmann.

The Cooper InVision wireless, circuit-monitoring - and easy to retrofit - System reduces the time by nearly 50 percent of an open-circuit event and the notification of maintenance personnel. The System provides via phone, fax or e-mail:

the exact location of the open circuit
the replacement part number and location
the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to wear for the electrical hazard level

The company will provide System components to allow testing of a discrete customer process; components include a Gateway, up to eight Routers, and up to 50 Intelligent Fuse Monitors (IFMs).

For an estimate of the savings utilizing the new Cooper InVision System, Cooper Bussmann provides an online calculator at cooperbussmann.com/invision. Simply enter the requested information of facility downtime cost and estimated time allowed for each step taken between an open-circuit event and power restoration. Minimizing each downtime occurrence - even by a few minutes - can add up to substantial savings.
