        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Photoelectric Smoke Alarm 240V | Rechargeable 10-Year Lithium Battery

        The Clipsal 755RLPSMA4 is a 240V photoelectric smoke alarm with a sealed 10-year rechargeable lithium battery. It detects slow-burning fires (the most common type in Australian homes) and is certified to AS 3786:2014. The 755RLPSMA4 clips onto existing Clipsal 755 base plates and is a direct drop-in replacement for older Clipsal 755-series alarms.

        Queensland fire safety rules require photoelectric interconnected alarms in rental properties. The 755RLPSMA4 wires straight to the 240V circuit and clips to the existing base, so no ceiling box work is needed. The sealed lithium battery runs for ten years and requires no annual changes. This eliminates service call-backs that drain job margins. Electricians standard on the Clipsal 755 FireTek family because the mounting system and core design haven't changed since the original 755SMA, making the 755RLPSMA4 a swap-in replacement for failed units.

        The 755RLPSMA4 is a workhorse choice for upgrading rental portfolios. The rechargeable battery removes annual call-backs. Backward compatibility with existing Clipsal base plates ensures smooth installation on every job. The 5-year in-home warranty and Schneider Electric national service network back every install. Stock rotation is simple: one standard base plate handles all Clipsal 755-series bodies, so electricians can manage inventory across a project without brand-switching.

        Features

        • Photoelectric sensor core — detects smouldering fires (slow smoke) before visible flame, the most common residential fire type in Australia.
        • Sealed 10-year rechargeable lithium battery — non-removable, charges passively from the mains supply, eliminates annual battery change call-backs and reduces service burden on rental portfolios.
        • 240V mains powered — supplied with standard flex cable and plug connector, wires to a dedicated circuit or shared lighting circuit with 10A or 16A protection.
        • Interconnect-ready design — supports up to 40 alarms linked via wired terminations to other Clipsal FireTek models, or upgradeable to wireless via an optional relay base.
        • Backward-compatible mounting — clips onto existing 755 series base plates without ceiling box modification, enabling direct replacement of aged 755PSMA, 755PSMA/2, 755RLPSMA2, and 755SMA units.
        • Surface-mount design — suits ceiling installation on standard 16mm and 20mm ceiling boxes; requires a licensed electrician for mains circuit connection per Building Code requirements.
        • AS 3786:2014 certified — approved for use in Australia, compliant with Queensland residential smoke alarm legislation effective 1 January 2022; rated for domestic and commercial installations.
        • 5-year in-home warranty — Clipsal domestic and commercial warranty covers manufacturing defects, with in-home servicing through Schneider Electric authorised service network.
        • Red LED indicator — flashes every 30 seconds during normal operation (powered) to confirm the alarm is active; no indicator during battery-only mode.
        • Integral isolation switch — battery isolation switch on the alarm body prevents activation until the base is fully clipped and locked, simplifying stockroom handling and installation.
        • Low battery alarm — beeps every 60 seconds when the rechargeable battery is low, triggered by mains failure or end-of-battery-life event (not expected within the 10-year design life).

        Where to use

        • Rental property compliance upgrades — the 755RLPSMA4 meets Queensland 2022 smoke alarm legislation requiring photoelectric interconnected alarms in bedrooms and hallways; the non-removable 10-year battery eliminates tenant tampering and annual inspections.
        • New residential construction and renos — spec the 755RLPSMA4 in new builds and major renovations where mains power is being run; backward compatibility keeps electrical costs down.
        • Holiday rentals and caretaker properties — properties with transient tenants or absent landlords benefit from the sealed battery design, which removes the risk of flat batteries or tenant disconnection; install once, service-free for ten years.
        • Commercial properties requiring mains alarms — shops, offices, and licensed premises often mandate mains-powered smoke alarms; the 755RLPSMA4 is approved for commercial use with the same 5-year warranty.
        • Multi-storey homes and open-plan layouts — the interconnect wiring links up to 40 alarms across the property, ensuring a fire in one zone triggers all units throughout the home.
        • Portfolio standardisation — facilities managers and large-scale property operators standardise on the Clipsal 755 family to ensure consistent install procedures, spare parts availability, and staff familiarity across all properties.

        The Clipsal 755RLPSMA4 is not suitable for battery-only operation (the battery is a backup to mains power only, not a standalone power source). It requires a 240V mains circuit and professional installation; it cannot be installed by the homeowner without a licensed electrician. The alarm is not rated for external, damp, or wet-area installations and should not be mounted in kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, garages with combustion appliances, or any location subject to moisture, steam, or chemical vapours.

        (755RLPSMA4)

        Smoke Alarm Calculator (Australia)

        The 755RLPSMA4 has an integral sealed 10-year rechargeable lithium battery, whereas the 755PSMA4 uses a user-replaceable 9V battery. Both units mount to the same Clipsal 755 base plate and share the same photoelectric core and wiring interconnect system. The 755RLPSMA4 eliminates annual battery changes and associated maintenance call-backs.

        The 755RLPSMA4 must be installed by a licensed electrician. It is mains-powered at 240V and requires connection to a dedicated electrical circuit or a shared lighting circuit with 10A or 16A protection. The Building Code mandates professional installation for all mains-powered smoke alarms.

        Yes. The 755RLPSMA4 is backward-compatible with all Clipsal 755-series base plates, including those fitted for the 755PSMA, 755PSMA/2, 755RLPSMA2, and 755SMA alarms. The alarm clips onto the existing base without modification, so no ceiling box work is needed during replacement.

        Yes. The 755RLPSMA4 supports wired interconnect to up to 40 other Clipsal FireTek alarms (755PSMA4, 755RLPSMA2, 755LPSMA4, and others) using the terminal connectors on the base plate. An optional 755RFB2 wireless relay base can upgrade the unit to wireless RF (433.42MHz) interconnect if needed.

        During mains power failure, the sealed rechargeable lithium battery automatically powers the alarm. The photoelectric sensor continues to operate, and a low-battery alarm sounds every 60 seconds if the battery is depleted (which is not expected to occur within the 10-year design life of the alarm).

        Yes. The 755RLPSMA4 is certified to AS 3786:2014 and is approved for use under Queensland residential fire safety legislation effective 1 January 2022. It is a photoelectric alarm and supports interconnection, meeting the legislative requirements for bedrooms and hallways in residential properties.

        Clipsal offers a 5-year domestic and commercial in-home warranty covering manufacturing defects. The warranty is serviced through the Schneider Electric national service network. It covers the alarm body, sensor, and battery, but does not cover improper installation, accidental damage, or tampering.

        No. The 755RLPSMA4 is rated for interior-only use on dry, smoke-laden air. It is not suitable for kitchens (false alarms from cooking smoke), bathrooms (steam), laundries, garages with combustion appliances, or any external or damp-exposed locations. A licensed electrician can advise on appropriate alarm placement under the Building Code.

        The Clipsal 755RLPSMA4 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.

        Not a smoke screen on 21 November 2018

        I've always stuck with Clipsal, they produce solid, reliable products that you can rely on.

        Andrew B

        Great product, easy to install. on 10 September 2018

        Great product with inbuilt lithium battery means no longer having to replace the backup battery. The alarm was easy to fit and easily replaced the 10 year old model it replaced. Sparky Direct offer a brilliant service too.
