The Clipsal 753R is a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor rated 10A 240V, designed to switch lights and appliances on when movement is detected. The 753R features a 360-degree detection field over a 14-metre radius with 5-second to 20-minute timer delay adjustment, and mounts flush into standard ceiling penetrations. It requires a neutral connection and is approved for indoor lighting control applications.
Many electricians specify motion sensors to reduce callbacks on rental properties and multi-tenant buildings, where unattended lights left on cost tenants and building managers money. The 753R solves this by detecting occupancy automatically and switching load off when the space empties, eliminating the problem of forgotten lights running all day. Its 360-degree coverage means one sensor covers an entire stairwell, corridor, or small room without dead zones that allow lights to stay on in unoccupied corners. Sparkies appreciate this for compliance with building codes requiring occupancy-based switching in common areas.
Licensed electricians favour the 753R for its simple install and consistent performance across multiple units. The sensor terminates to a 4-terminal block accommodating 2.5mm² cable, so no special connectors or adapters are needed on the jobsite. The 5-to-1200-second timer delay is fine-tuned on-site without tools and suits everything from high-turnover stairwells (5 seconds) to conference rooms (20 minutes). Its non-adjustable threshold prevents the false activations that plague cheaper sensors, so electricians see fewer service calls. The 72mm flush-mount head is discreet and blends into standard ceiling cutouts without cosmetic complaints. Bulk purchasing the 753R across a new apartment complex provides stable margins since every unit uses the same SKU.
The Clipsal 753R is not suitable for external walls, damp exposed locations, or weatherproof installations. The IP20 rating and plastic construction are rated for indoor use only, so do not install the 753R in bathrooms with splash zones, kitchens subject to steam, laundries, porches, or outdoor applications. For moisture-prone areas, specify a weatherproof PIR instead.

(753R)
Yes, the 753R requires a neutral connection. It is a 3-wire sensor (active, neutral, earth) and cannot be used in 2-wire switch loops. The sensor draws a small standby current through the neutral to operate its internal electronics.
The 753R has 360-degree horizontal coverage with a 14-metre detection radius from a ceiling-mounted position. Lateral detection is 7 metres and frontal detection is 7 metres, covering the full diameter when mounted correctly on a ceiling.
The 753R timer delay is adjusted on-site using an internal dial (no tools required). The range is 5 seconds to 20 minutes, so you can fine-tune the hold time for the space. A 5-second delay suits high-turnover stairwells; 2-5 minutes suits general corridors and common areas.
No, the 753R is rated IP20 and is interior ceiling-mount only. It is not suitable for bathrooms with splash zones, kitchens with steam, laundries, or any damp exposed locations. The plastic housing and internal electronics would be damaged by moisture.
The 753R is rated 10A 240V, which equals a maximum load of 2300 watts. This covers most residential lighting circuits and small appliance loads. Check your circuit breaker size and connected load before installation.
The Clipsal 753R 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.
