        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Motion Infrared Sensor 10A 3-Wire | White Electric Flush Mount

        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.

        Features

        • 360-degree detection — covers a 14-metre radius with full ceiling coverage from a single mounted position, eliminating dark corners where lights would remain on.
        • Passive infrared (PIR) technology — detects movement via heat signature without emitting any signal, suitable for occupied-space sensing in stairwells, corridors, and common areas.
        • No false activations — fixed sensitivity threshold prevents nuisance triggering from air conditioning movement or passing shadows, reducing service call-backs on completed jobs.
        • Adjustable timer delay 5-1200 seconds — fine-tuned on-site without tools to match space type: 5 seconds for high-traffic stairs, up to 20 minutes for less-frequented rooms.
        • Automatic with manual override — lights switch on automatically when motion detected, and can be held on manually for cleaning or maintenance without waiting for motion sensor reset.
        • Flush-mount design — 72mm diameter head sits recessed in standard 90-100mm ceiling cutouts, delivering clean finish that blends with interior fit-outs.
        • Interior use only — IP20 rating and plastic housing suit ceiling mount indoors only; not suitable for external walls, weatherproof applications, or wet areas.
        • 10A circuit rating — directly switches lighting circuits up to 10A at 240V, covering typical domestic and small commercial lighting loads under 2300W.
        • Neutral wire required — 3-wire installation (active, neutral, earth) necessary for sensor operation; cannot be used in 2-wire switch loops.
        • 4-terminal block connection — accommodates 2.5mm² cable without special connectors, simplifying on-site termination and reducing material cost.

        Where to use

        • Stairwells and landings — the 753R switches lights on automatically as residents climb stairs, then off after 5-10 seconds of no movement, saving energy on common stairs in apartment buildings.
        • Building corridors and hallways — a single 753R covers a 14-metre radius, so one sensor typically covers an entire corridor without the need for multiple units.
        • Bathroom exhaust fans — pairs with a relay to trigger exhaust fans automatically when bathroom is occupied, running 2-5 minutes after occupancy ceases.
        • Rental property common areas — removes tenant friction over forgotten lights by automating switching in entry halls, laundries, and storage areas where occupancy is temporary.
        • Basement storage and utility rooms — automated lighting for infrequent-access areas reduces the habit of lights left on all day, cutting energy costs for landlords.
        • Small office spaces and breakrooms — the 753R's discretion and lack of false triggers make it suitable for open-plan offices where motion detection must not startle staff.

        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.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal 753R (753R)

        "The detection range is excellent, picks up movement reliably." — Dave

        "Great proximity sensor picks up all movement." — Mark

        "Easy to install with multiple mounting options." — Jem

        (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.
