        Clipsal | Flush Mount Photoelectric Smoke Alarm 240V/9V | White

        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.

        Features

        • Photoelectric sensor — detects slow-burning smouldering fires faster than ionisation technology, reducing response time to smoke before visible flame.
        • Flush mount design — 23mm projection depth provides a neat, low-profile finish compared to surface-mounted or protrusion alarms, blending into modern ceilings.
        • Detachable sensor head — fully interchangeable assembly slides and locks into place without rewiring the base, speeding up installation and maintenance swaps.
        • Hinged cover access — battery compartment and large terminals are accessible via the hinged cover without removing the alarm from the ceiling.
        • Quick-fit ceiling clamps — mounting base secures to the 90mm hole with spring-loaded clamps, requiring no additional wall box or back plate.
        • Wireless interconnection — links up to 40 units via RF signal, allowing full-house coverage on a single circuit for multi-level or large homes.
        • Low standby consumption — less than 3mW power draw when no alarm is active, minimising energy cost over the alarm's operational life.
        • Built-in test and hush function — onboard button tests the sounder and sensor response, and activates a 10-hour low-battery no-disturb mode to silence nuisance chirps.
        • 9V battery backup — 9V alkaline battery powers the alarm for up to one year if mains fails, with automatic low-battery warning starting at 6.9V.
        • Ceiling mount only — designed exclusively for flush ceiling installation; not suitable for walls or external locations due to IP20 rating and indoor-only certification.
        • 5-year warranty — Clipsal covers the 755PFM4 under a five-year domestic and commercial in-home warranty, with parts and labour included through authorised dealers.
        • Compatible with 755PFM and 755FM bases — the sensor head is backward compatible with earlier flush-mount generations, simplifying spares stocking for multi-generational installs.

        Where to use

        • Master bedrooms and secondary bedrooms — Queensland legislation mandates photoelectric smoke alarms in all bedrooms, making the 755PFM4 a direct compliance fit for property sales, rentals, and renovation sign-offs.
        • Main hallways and corridors — alarms in hallways or connecting areas between bedrooms and living spaces detect smoke travel early and trigger interconnected units throughout the home.
        • Lounge and living areas — the 755PFM4 detects slow-burning fires from couches, curtains, and upholstered furniture where smouldering fires ignite without visible flame.
        • Retrofit and property turnover jobs — replaces failed ionisation alarms at 10 years end-of-life, allowing electricians to quote a direct upgrade without core rewiring or structural changes.
        • New-build and renovation installations — pre-wiring allows the base to be fitted during construction and the sensor head added once interior fit-off is complete.
        • Multi-storey homes and apartments — the wireless interconnection supports full-house coverage, triggering all alarms simultaneously if smoke is detected in any zone.

        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.

        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.

        Clipsal 755PFM4 Smoke Detector on 10 May 2019

        Great smoke detector... easy to install, reliable, well designed.

        Kristian Nielsen

        Easy Install and Great Design on 6 August 2018

        Unit was easy and simple to install, took only 5 to 10 minutes as was replacing a faulty unit so wiring already there. Liked the design of plug in and base, made it easier to fit base to ceiling and wire up with extra bulk of the main unit. Also makes for a straight forward battery replacement

        Hans Houbolt

        Clipsal 755 PFM smoke detector on 6 March 2016

        This product is a direct upgrade from previous Clipsal PMA ionisation detectors and is ideal for retrofit or new installations. The Ionisation detectors have performed for their 10-year life quite well and only one failure. The installation is well documented and when pre-wiring is possible, ideal for any project requiring next code upgrades. I believe that for retrofit a future wireless model is in the pipeline ?
