Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Wiser Lithium Battery Smoke Alarm 3V | Zigbee Smart Home Integration
The Clipsal Iconic Wiser CLP599WSAL is a photoelectric smoke alarm powered by a 10-year sealed lithium battery, rated 3V DC with Zigbee 3.0 and 433MHz RF wireless connectivity. It detects slow-burning fires and integrates with the Wiser system for smartphone alerts and home automation control.
Residential property managers and electricians fitting smart home systems increasingly specify wireless smoke alarms that don't require mains power. The CLP599WSAL solves the installation constraint of hard-to-reach ceilings and multi-room coverage without running new circuits. Its Zigbee connectivity works with most major home automation platforms, and the non-proprietary wireless RF link allows standalone operation without the Clipsal Wiser Hub.
Customers choose the Wiser system to add smartphone alerts to their safety setup, turning passive smoke detection into active notification. The CLP599WSAL handles the integration natively, sending alerts straight to the phone when smoke is detected and triggering secondary devices like lights or sirens. Installations across apartments, townhouses, and holiday rental properties benefit from the sealed 10-year battery, which eliminates annual changeover calls and reduces ongoing maintenance.
Features
- Photoelectric dual chamber design — detects slow-burning (smouldering) fires before visible flame and reduces false alarms caused by dust or insects with dual transmission detection.
- Zigbee 3.0 and 433MHz RF interconnect — works standalone with other Clipsal Fire Tek wireless alarms (755LPSMA4, 755RFB2) or connects to the Wiser Hub for smart home integration and smartphone notifications.
- Push notifications to smartphone — sends real-time alerts when smoke is detected, allowing remote monitoring across multiple properties or homes.
- Trigger secondary devices — integrated with Wiser system to activate lights, sirens, vibration pillows, or flashlights when alarm activates, providing redundant warning for hearing or mobility-impaired occupants.
- Sealed 10-year lithium battery — non-removable 3V battery eliminates annual battery replacements and reduces call-backs from residents or tenants.
- Hush button and temperature sensor — silences false alarms for 10 minutes and detects temperature spikes above 57°C for additional fire detection in slow-burn scenarios.
- Maximum 40 wireless interconnected devices — supports whole-home or multi-property networks with a 40m indoor RF range, allowing flexible placement without hard-wired circuits.
- IP20 rated, interior use only — suitable for ceiling or wall mounting in bedrooms, lounge areas, hallways, and kitchens; not weatherproof or rated for external installation.
- AS 3786 certified — complies with Australian smoke alarm standards and meets Queensland Fire and Emergency Services legislation requirements for residential properties.
- Monthly test reminder — smartphone notification reminds users to test the alarm monthly, with alarm history logged for compliance verification.
Where to use
- Bedroom suites and sleeping areas — the CLP599WSAL installs on the ceiling or wall above door level where it detects smoke early and sends notifications to residents' phones, reducing response time.
- Lounge and open-plan living — central placement in multi-storey homes covers living areas with a single unit, avoiding ceiling penetrations or large conduit runs.
- Apartment and townhouse blocks — the sealed battery design suits properties where residents need annual housekeeping-only service, with no battery replacements required.
- Holiday rental and short-term accommodation — remote smartphone alerts allow property managers to verify alarms across multiple locations without site visits, reducing operational costs.
- Kitchen areas (interior only) — the high-sensitivity photoelectric chamber is less prone to nuisance triggering from steam or cooking fumes than ionisation units, suitable for residential kitchens.
- Hallways and corridors — acts as a repeater for wireless interconnect in multi-room properties, extending the RF mesh network range without additional circuit wiring.
The CLP599WSAL is not suitable for external walls, garages, damp areas, or outdoor installations. Do not install above boilers or heaters, in bathrooms with high humidity, or in locations with steam exposure that will exceed the operating range of 0–45°C.
