Learn more by watching our Clipsal 755RLPSMA4 | 240V Smoke alarm photoelectric | Rechargeable 10 Year lithium battery video.
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.
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.
Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal 755RLPSMA4 (755RLPSMA4)

(755RLPSMA4)
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.
