Next-generation tower lights improve operations in water and wastewater

  • New Harmony range from Schneider Electric future proofs signalling
  • Improves safety and reduces downtime through visual and audible alerts
  • Streamlines maintenance and spare parts inventory

Schneider Electric, the global leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, has unveiled the new range of Harmony Tower Lights. The next-generation range replaces legacy signalling with a modular and future-ready portfolio, helping manufacturers improve safety, uptime, and operational continuity across treatment works, pumping stations, and remote sites.

The Harmony range represents a completely new line up of tower lights, with four core options. The optimum 70mm XVB7 is a modular tower light that comes in premium materials and design. The modular 60mm XV6 and 40mm XV4 offer a cost effective and modern solution, and the fully customisable smart XVTS features new light and audio configurations for advanced signalling.

For water and wastewater facilities, maintaining clear visibility of asset health is critical. Operators and maintenance teams must be able to identify abnormal conditions immediately, before faults escalate into costly service disruption, compliance risks, or pollution incidents.

The modular XVB7, XV6 and XV4 help standardise signalling across multiple assets, simplifying maintenance and reducing spare parts complexity as utilities upgrade infrastructure, modernise legacy control panels, or expand treatment capacity. High-visibility LED modules ensure clear indication even in bright outdoor locations, while durable construction supports reliable performance in locations exposed to the elements. The lights prevent outages in high-risk areas such as storm overflow management, chemical dosing systems, UV disinfection, or sludge processing, where even short interruptions can lead to fines or environmental impact.

For applications where operators and visitors would benefit from need additional signalling performance, such as an indication of tank level, the XVTS extends the range with programmable visual and audible signalling and connected options to deliver instant operational insight.

“Unplanned downtime is a major productivity drain. Underlying causes of downtime such as equipment or process malfunctions can be addressed through better real-time visibility. The new Harmony Tower Lights enable instant, customisable alerts, allowing operators and maintenance teams to act in real-time before failures lead to disruption. Ultimately, we want tower lights to make industrial environments more resilient, connected, and efficient, whether it is one modernisation project at a time, or entire facilities.”

Key features:

  • High-performance LED signalling delivering high visibility with low power consumption with up to 50,000 hours operating life.
  • Modular design for the XVB7, XV6 and XV4 models so that buyers can configure the tower they need with options for individual light and sound modules.
  • Visual and audible configurations across the range include optional buzzer and sound variants for clear notifications.
  • Flexible installation and connectivity with multiple mounting and wiring options, including push-in terminals, with IO-Link/USB options on selected models.
