Clipsal’s latest innovation in circuit protection is here. The new MAX9 Switchboards deliver a smarter, faster and more future ready installation experience — purpose built for today’s electricians and modern homes. Seamlessly integrating with MAX9 devices and MAXBAR busbars — the range supports 3-phase circuits, monitoring needs, solar, EV charging and home electrification.

- Traditional installs: 13M and 18M widths available in 1–4 row configurations.

Harmony XV6 Modular Tower Lights Coming Soon!
The Harmony XV6 Modular Tower Lights will be launched 25 March 2026!
This range will effectively replace the legacy Harmony XVU Modular Tower Lights to be discontinued on 1 May 2026. The Harmony XV6 Modular Tower Lights brings a new level of flexibility and performance to visual and audible signalling. The range enables seamless integration and effortless customisation, and continues Schneider Electric’s commitment to exceptional quality and robust reliability. For a list of new commercial references and corresponding legacy XVU references, please see our catalogue here.
Here’s why you will love the new Harmony XV6 range:
- Elegant, modern design: Enhanced optics ensure high visibility with minimal glare. With six coloured lenses, four clear lenses, and a multi‑colour option, there is a configuration for every application.
- Fully modular architecture: Tailor your tower light precisely to your needs with extensive customisation options.
- Built for tough environments: Rated IP65, the XV6 series withstands dust, moisture, temperature extremes, and vibration.
- Versatile mounting possibilities: Universal accessories support a wide range of installations and are compatible with both the new 60 mm and 70 mm tower light ranges.
NEW Harmony 9001K Emergency Stop Available Now!
The Harmony 9001K Emergency Stop offer has been simplified and enhanced to improve ease of selection and optimise product design. The change is seamless, with direct replacement parts available to support ongoing needs. This new range replaces the discontinued 9001K Emergency Stop references. A substitution table has been provided for easy transition.
Important Note:
All red pushbuttons in the Harmony 9001K/SK range may only be used as standard pushbuttons or for emergency switching off (for models with a latch‑in function). They must not be used as an E‑Stop function. The new 9001KR18 is now the sole E‑Stop offer for the 30mm Harmony 9001K/SK range.

MySchneider MFA Key Update
The mandatory activation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for mySchneider will now take place on 17 March. We’ve taken a little extra time to refine the activation experience to ensure a smooth transition. MFA adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second verification step, making it significantly harder for unauthorised users to access your account-even if your password becomes compromised.
What to expect when MFA becomes mandatory:
- After entering your email and password on mySchneider login, you will receive a verification code by email. Enter the code to complete your login.
- MFA will not be required every time. It will only prompt you when something unusual is detected, such as logging in from a new device or location. This keeps the balance between your security and convenience.
- If you have already enabled MFA, you won’t need to reactivate it. You will continue using your existing MFA method.
MAX9 Plastic Enclosures – Obsolescence Notice
With the launch of the new MAX9 Switchboards, the current range is destined for obsolescence. Products listed on the table below will not be available from the date shown or when stocks are depleted.
To make selection easy, we have mapped the current/old SKUs to their new replacements to facilitate continuity of business. Do reach out to your ASRs if there are any ongoing projects where customers have already specified these products.
