Learn more by watching our CLIPSAL 755PFM4 | Flush Mount 240V Smoke Detector | Photoelectric | 9v Battery Back Up video.
The Clipsal 755PFM4 is a photoelectric smoke alarm rated 240V mains with 9V battery backup, designed for ceiling flush mounting to detect smouldering fires. The 755PFM4 features a hinged cover for easy terminal access and quick-fit ceiling clamps to secure the mounting base in place. Compliant with AS 3786:2014, it is approved for residential use throughout Queensland and other Australian states.
Queensland smoke alarm legislation requires photoelectric alarms in all bedrooms and hallways of rental and sold properties. Retrofit jobs often involve replacing failed or aged units; many electricians encounter ionisation alarms that have reached the end of their 10-year service life. The 755PFM4 addresses this demand as a direct upgrade path, providing the modern photoelectric sensor and mains backup power that the old ionisation detectors lacked. A simple 90mm ceiling hole allows installers to fit the base plate without rewiring when swapping out an old ceiling-mount alarm.
Sparkies favour the 755PFM4 for its **detachable sensor head and interchangeable mounting base**, which reduce labour time on retrofit jobs. The **plug-in design separates the sensor chamber from the base**, letting the electrician wire the base to the ceiling and then slide the sensor head in place and lock it — no fiddling with the full assembly once wiring is done. **Battery replacement is straightforward**: the cover hinges open for access to the 9V battery compartment without disturbing the base. The unit interconnects up to 40 wireless-linked alarms across the home, so larger retrofit projects can be quoted for full-house coverage on one circuit.
The Clipsal 755PFM4 is not suitable for external walls, damp environments, or weatherproof applications. Do not install in bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, garages, or any location subject to moisture, steam, or splash exposure. The IP20 rating permits indoor dry locations only. Installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician and complies with AS 3786 for mains-powered domestic smoke alarms.

Yes, the 755PFM4 is a photoelectric smoke alarm certified to AS 3786:2014 and is approved under Queensland's smoke alarm legislation. It meets the requirement for bedrooms and hallways in rental and sold properties.
Installation of the 755PFM4 must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The alarm requires a 90mm ceiling hole and connection to 240V mains wiring. A licensed installer will ensure correct termination to the circuit and compliance with electrical safety standards.
The 9V alkaline battery is rated for approximately one year of standby operation if mains power fails. The alarm begins warning via low-battery chirps at 6.9V and enters a 10-hour no-disturb mode via the hush button to silence nuisance alerts.
Yes, the 755PFM4 supports wireless RF interconnection with up to 40 other Clipsal 755 series alarms over a distance of up to 150 metres, triggering all linked units simultaneously if any alarm detects smoke.
The 755PFM4 uses photoelectric (scattered light or Tyndall effect) sensor technology, which detects smouldering fires faster than ionisation alarms and is the technology specified for bedrooms under current Australian standards.
