Product and Solution Releases

Saturn Zen
The beauty of simplicity.
Subtle modern look with clever design features.

Introduction
The Clipsal by Schneider Electric plate ranges continue to grow and transform, with the release of
the Saturn Zen range of premium LED switches, sockets and the new charging smart shelf
accessory and pictograms. Continuing with the push button theme, Saturn Zen has a subtle,
modern design to suit both residential and commercial applications. With an understated look and
clever design features, the standard LED push button switches make it easy to find the switch at
night and with the introduction of Pictograms make it even easier to determine what room/area
you are switching.
With the release of our USB Charger Mechanism, the new range will offer an innovative charging
smart shelf accessory to allow you to take your smartphone or tablet off the table and put it on the
shelf that is part of the wall plate, in a neat and convenient way to charge your phone or tablet.
Following this launch, we will see the Saturn Zen finish within the C-Bus range of wall switches.
Currently in development are one, two, three and four button C-Bus Saturn Zen wall switches in
Zen White and Zen Black finishes. The C-Bus eDLT wall switch is being developed for the C-Bus
Saturn Zen range also. Product release is expected in the near future. Please stand by for further
news.

Why are we focusing on this?


To continue with the move from medium to optimum offers, Saturn Zen is based on the original
Saturn platform which is already well accepted in the market and will provide a more subtle modern
alternative for our customers. The new painted matte finish and flush buttons provides a seamless
look and styling for todays interior design, appealing to architects and specifiers.
This range offers the unique opportunity of providing an affordable up-sell from Slimline and
Classic and seamless cross-sell with Saturn.

Frequently Asked Questions


Question 1
How bright is the LED? Will it keep the occupant awake in a bedroom?
The LED colour appears as a soft light blue glow, not a bright crystal blue glow

Question 2
What is the LED life expectancy?
Generally LED life is 100,000 hours. If we consider two examples:
1.
2.

A switch locator, where the LED would be illuminated for say, 20 hours per day, the
LED would last approx 14 years.
A light on indicator, where the LED would be illuminated for say, 4 hours per day,
the LED would last approx 68 years.

Question 3
How much energy does the LED use?
The LED draws approx 0.0006A or 0.6 milliamps. If a customer installs 10 LED switches the total of
all LEDs is approximately 1.4W if they are all illuminated at the same time.

Question 4
Will the paint rub or flake off?
No, the painting application is designed to prevent wear and tear and will provide many years of
use.

Bluetooth Home Audio


Your sound made simple

Introduction
Clipsal Starserve Bluetooth Home Audio products have brought together the functionality of
Bluetooth Connectivity and convenience, in an affordable home audio solution. Providing a single
zone, unobtrusive ceiling mount solution without the need to relocate portable speakers.
There are 3 products that make up the offer.

6.5 inch (cone size) bluetooth in-ceiling pair of speakers (15W RMS) - Bluetooth module
and Amplifier mounted on back of Master Speaker

4.0 inch (cone size) bluetooth in-ceiling pair of speakers (8W RMS) - Bluetooth module
and Amplifier mounted on back of Master Speaker

Stand-alone Bluetooth amplifier - used for applications where independent passive


speakers can be utilised eg. Outdoor speakers, or for an existing system where cabling
can be re-routed to the Bluetooth amplifie for Bluetooth connectivity
With the three products on offer, there is bound to be one or more of the products to suit an
application within the home or small commercial premises.
The three Bluetooth products all run on the same Bluetooth connectivity principle.

Why are we focusing on this?


The offer is an extension of our Starserve Home Audio range, to capture the market as changes in
lifestyle habits evolve. Music, entertainment and convenience are a big part of the growing trend in
the standard residential premises.
Bluetooth Home Audio has brought in products that form a solution which combines Bluetooth
technology that customers have adapted and aquainted themselves with over the years with an
audio offer that forms part of the home as opposed to an accessory to the home.
The Bluetooth home audio offer provides a lifestyle convenience to our customers without the need
to spend a fortune.

Product Information
Unique Selling Features

Combination of Bluetooth Connectivity/Amplifier and Ceiling Mounted Speaker in the one


unit has given an unobtrusive Audio solution.

4.0 speakers have an aluminium grille which will not rust (not IP rated), so installing in the
bathroom ceiling is not a problem for these speakers (protects only against moisture
generated by steam).

Bluetooth Amplifier is ideal for a customer that wants the convenience of Bluetooth
connectivity on an existing fixed audio solution, re-routing of cables to the module can
provide this convenience. Can be used for its Bluetooth Connectivity and Amplification
features for any passive speakers such as the Clipsal outdoor speakers.

Both Speakers and Amplifier can be uniquely labelled to easily identify which product you
are pairing to both.

Speakers and Amplifier can be set with a personalised 4 digit passcode for secure pairing
- software can be downloaded on clipsal.com/downloads to change both ID and passcode

1:1 Connectivity one Bluetooth device to one Bluetooth product (1pr speakers or
amplifier connected 1pr passive speakers)

Does not automatically pair so no one is locked out from pairing their device to the
speakers or amplifier

Once paired with passcode, the speakers or amplifier are stored in your device therefore
not requiring you to enter passcode to pair again

When a call comes through on you device, sound output will automatically be diverted to
your device for privacy

When not in use the Bluetooth products go on low power standby mode saving on energy

Price Positioning
The offer is classified as an entry level home audio solution and therefore has been appropriately
priced to fit this category. We are targeting the majority of market that want these products to fit
their lifestyle without having to pay an exorbitant price for it.

Competitor Analysis
There is one competitor currently on the market called Resilinx, which have products of equal
performance and specification. Their go-to-market strategy, distribution and customer base differs
from ours; therefore the probability of crossover selling is minimal.
We will always face competition in the consumer market with portable Bluetooth speaker Sonos
have a WIFI Amplifier, however this requires cabling and passive speakers.
Please note that that Sonos are in a different market and have a different customer base. Their
system cost is considerably more than where we are positioned in the market. Please consider
these factors when making comparisons and when challenged by customers on it.

Frequently Asked Questions


Question 1
Can you connect more speakers to the current set-up?
A: The sound output will be considerably reduced, it is not recommended to do this.
There is the potential to unbalance the impedence. The system has been designed for only 1pr
speaker output.

Question 2
Can you connect more zones to the current recommended set-up?
A: No, this is a single zone solution.

Question 3
Can you connect and control to more than 1 zone from your Bluetooth Device?
A: No, as one zone has one Bluetooth Receiver. Bluetooth devices can only connect to one
receiver at any one time.

Question 4
Can you connect more than one Bluetooth device to one Bluetooth receiver?
A: No, Bluetooth devices can only connect to one receiver at any one time.

Question 5
Does the Bluetooth Device automatically pair to the receiver when within vicinity?
A: No, this is so that it does not lock other users from pairing at any time. Once paired and

On Feb 16 2015, the Clipsal WilcoROWCO range will expand and have an upgraded offer. The
new releases will offer new products or redesigned products that include:

Socket Outlets
Appliance Inlets
Combination Switched Socket Outlets
DIN enclosure
Two, Three & Four Gang Enclosures
RCD Protected Outlets
Push Button Stations
Switches Less Enclosure

Unique Selling Features


Mixn match modular design
One key aspect of this release will be the modularity of the 10A, 15A, 20A, & 32A products that can
be mixed and matched in a similar way to 56 Series. In fact, the footprint (dimensions) of the offer
have been reduced so that 56 series products can be easily be replaced. A WilcoROWCO base
must however be used for these replacements or upgrades.
New 3 & 4 gang enclosures
Of particular advantage will be the new three & four gang enclosures that will enable customers to
contain all cabling within an enclosure similar to the multi-gang nature of 56 Series. This will
eliminate the need for running conduits between enclosures offering improved mechanical
protection.
Additionally, many of the components will change so that 56 Series plugs can be now be used in
conjunction with the socket outlets.

Selling Tools

Product Updates

Airflow Product Range


As a result with some of our Airflow packaging being very old and not consistant with our brand
strategy, Clipsal by Schneider Electric Airflow products are receiving a new look. The new packing
box is made up of a unique charcoal grey design with a pattern of fan blades circulating the box.
This gives the products a premium family look and makes them easily identified as a Clipsal Airflow
product.

Starting with the CEF40 Series and the 7100 Series Exhaust fans.

The new Fan, Light, Heater units (6500ADS & 6600ADS) will follow early in the new year.

The remainder of product will change to the new packaging in the year to come.

With packaging being the face of our products to the consumer, the right packaging will add value
to the product by recreating and refining it to be more unique and attractive, we can separate our
products from the competition, engage better with consumers, and increase our profitability.

Weatherprotected
Weatherprotected Isolating Switch - change to earthing
Recently the WHA, WHB and WHC range of products have experienced a component change
where the earthing point was altered from two screw terminations to single screw. Some customers
have asked whether or not this complies with Australian Standards. Rest assured this does comply
with Clause 2.9.4.2 (d) (ii) which states:
a neutral conductor used as a combined protective earthing and neutral (PEN) conductor for
protective earthing of any portion of an electrical installation, the terminal shall be of a type
having
(ii) one screw with an outside diameter not less than 80% of the tunnel diameter.
If you have any further questions on this feel free to contact Gary Busbridge or David Hilder in the
in the Gepps Cross office.

Marketing Communications

Life Is On Campaign
Launch of Life Is On Partner Campaign
On February 2, 2015, we are launching a new campaign to tell the rest of the industry about Club
Clipsal and encourage more potential members to join Australias largest community for electricians
and electrical contractors.
The membership criteria for the Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers remains however we are introducing
a new, Bronze, tier dedicated to electricians. These members are not electrical contractors but are
qualified electricians.
By opening the club up to the wider electrician market, we are ensuring that we recruit electricians
early into their career (our research shows that the average age of an electrician is lower than an
electrical contractor) and hope they stay with us as they progress through their careers and
therefore through the club tiers to end up as Platinum members and Clipsal ambassadors.
Also, more members means more knowledge and a bigger community within the industry.
Launch assets:

Radio adverts on Triple MMM that include a competition to win your share in
$2,000. Go to Triple MMMs win page to find out more about our stories of
electricians competition

Print assets two key visuals depicting the human side of the industry.
Placed in trade magazines

Online assets web banners of the same key visuals being placed in trade
magazines as well as part of our retargeting activity on our own website.

Club Clipsal pages have been revamped and two versions of an engaging
video featuring Bob Cross have been added to the home page and the How
Do I Become a Member page.

going ecapulate the Life Is On messaging. This years marquee is going to be bigger and better
than ever.
It features the USB charger artwork externally and showcases our consumer product range

There are plenty of charging stations on the back wall which means you dont have to worry about a
flat battery moment as well as giveaways in the form of a branded fedora hat.
There will be an interactive wall that features PUSH Controls and Clipsal Wishlist and promo girls
will be circulating within the marquee with iPads to capture customer queries and details.
Other customer focussed activities that are happening at the 500 include:

The introduction the USB microsite usb.clipsal.com which is dedicated to the features
and benefits of the USB charger.

The launch of Which Switch? An addictive game weve created especially for the event,
which features a Simon Says style game which you can download from the App Store or
Google Play.

Stay tuned for the February edition of Marketing Update for a
