        Clipsal 755LPSMA4 | Photoelectric wireless interconnect smoke alarm | 10 year sealed lithium battery

        The Clipsal 755LPSMA4 is a surface-mount photoelectric smoke alarm powered by a sealed 10-year lithium battery, with built-in 433.42MHz RF wireless interconnect. It is certified to AS 3786:2014, ActivFire listed, and compliant with the Building Code of Australia — making the 755LPSMA4 a drop-in upgrade for any home that needs interconnected smoke alarms without running a single new cable.

        The 755LPSMA4 is the unit most often specified for retrofits, rental upgrades, and second-storey or granny-flat additions where running 240V cable to the ceiling is impractical. Because it is battery-only with a sealed lithium cell, a 755LPSMA4 can be installed without a sparkie on the wireless side — though hardwired 755PSMA4 or 755RLPSMA4 alarms in the same property still require licensed installation. It interconnects wirelessly with up to 40 other 755 series alarms.

        For sparkies upgrading rental portfolios to meet QLD 2022 legislation, the 755LPSMA4 is the workhorse SKU on the lithium side. It pairs with the 755RFB2 wireless base to link to existing 755PSMA4 and 755RLPSMA4 hardwired alarms, sits in the same Fire Tek family as the Wiser CLP599WSAL smart alarm, and is backed by Clipsal's 5-year in-home warranty and the Schneider Electric national service network.

        Features

        • Photoelectric sensor — detects smouldering fires, the most common fire type in Australian homes
        • Sealed 10-year lithium battery — non-removable, no annual battery changes for the life of the alarm
        • Built-in RF wireless interconnect — 433.42MHz, links up to 40 alarms with no extra base required
        • RF range 140m free air, 50m indoor line of sight — to other 755LPSMA4 units
        • Wireless response time under 30 seconds — across the network
        • 755RFB2 wireless base compatible — links to 240V 755PSMA4 and 755RLPSMA4 alarms
        • Wiser CLP599WSAL compatible — shares 433MHz RF and Zigbee 3.0 for smart-home upgrade paths
        • Stainless steel insect screen — 0.6mm mesh in the optical chamber reduces nuisance alarms from dust and insects
        • Large test/hush button — red LED and network LED indicators on the cover
        • 85dB horn at 3m — with tamper-proof mounting base
        • AS 3786:2014 certified — ActivFire listed, RCM and SAI Global 5 Ticks approved, compliant with QLD 2022 smoke alarm legislation
        • 130.3mm diameter × 37.5mm height — low-profile surface mount, ceiling or wall, indoor use only

        Where to use the 755LPSMA4

        • Bedrooms — required under QLD 2022 legislation in every bedroom
        • Hallways connecting bedrooms — also required under QLD 2022
        • Each storey of a dwelling — including levels without bedrooms
        • Rental properties between tenancies — running cable is disruptive and the sealed 10-year battery removes the need for a sparkie to return
        • Granny flats, sleepouts, and secondary dwellings — where 240V isn't run to the ceiling space
        • Retrofits to existing 755 series hardwired networks — via the 755RFB2 wireless base
        • Class 1a residential and Class 1b dwellings — under the National Construction Code

        Do not install the 755LPSMA4 in kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, or garages — cooking steam, shower humidity, dust, and vehicle exhaust will trigger nuisance alarms on a photoelectric sensor. Clipsal recommends a heat alarm in those locations, and the 755LPSMA4 must be mounted at least 1 metre from air conditioner and heater vents, ceiling fans, and light fittings.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal 755LPSMA4 (755LPSMA4)

        "Easy to fit and interconnect... no wiring and 10 year life." — Chalkyt

        "Very easy to install and wirelessly connect." — Cam

        "Easy to install." — Smithy

        (755LPSMA4-10YR-RF-LTH-9V)

        Smoke Alarm Calculator (Australia)

        Yes. The 755PSMA4 is backwards compatible with the 755PSMA, 755PSMA2, 755RLPSMA2, 755SMA mounting bases — and with the PDL SD100. In most cases it's a true direct swap onto the existing base plate and wiring, with no ceiling repairs required. As one Sparky Direct customer put it, "It was nice to use the old wiring, and even the old holes, so no ceiling repairs required."

        Smoke alarms have a 10-year lifespan under Australian Standards and must be replaced once that period is reached, regardless of whether they appear to still be working. The 755PSMA4 carries a 5-year Schneider Electric product warranty.

        Yes. The 755PSMA4 is a photoelectric, interconnectable, 240V mains-powered alarm with battery backup, satisfying the QLD smoke alarm legislation that has applied to all properties leased or sold in Queensland since 1 January 2022.

        Up to 40 alarms can be wired together, with a maximum wire length of 150 metres between the first and last unit. The same 40-alarm limit applies when interconnecting wirelessly via the 755RFB2 base.

        Yes, when paired with the optional 755RFB2 wireless mounting base. This avoids running new cable through existing ceilings — ideal for retrofits and renovations.

        Yes, when installed on the optional 755RB relay base. The relay base provides a voltage-free changeover contact for triggering lights, sirens, strobes or home automation systems.

        Sparky Direct reviewers consistently report low false-alarm rates: "does not alarm when using the stovetop," "Found smoke alarm to be free from false positives," "These smoke alarms do not seem to have false alarms compared to others." The built-in stainless steel insect screen and modern optical chamber design help reduce nuisance triggers from dust and insects. The Test/Hush button silences nuisance triggers (such as cooking smoke) for 10 minutes.

        No. The 755PSMA4 is a hardwired 240V mains-powered alarm and must be installed by a licensed electrician under Australian electrical regulations. 

        On the ceiling, centred in the room where possible, and at least 1 metre from air conditioner/heater vents, ceiling fans, electrical appliances and fittings. Do not install in garages, kitchens, bathrooms or any high-moisture or high-dust area. Stairways should always carry an alarm — they act as chimneys for smoke and heat.

        The 755PSMA4 uses a replaceable 9V battery for backup. The 755RLPSMA4 uses a sealed-in 10-year rechargeable lithium battery, so there's no annual battery change. Both share the same photoelectric core and mounting compatibility

        The 755PSMA4 is the genuine Clipsal/Schneider OEM option — the unit that has been overwhelmingly installed in Australian new builds since the early 2000s.

        The Red R10RF and PSA LIF6000 are aftermarket photoelectric alternatives.

        The 755PSMA4 is chosen by customers who specifically want direct-swap compatibility with existing Clipsal 755-series base plates, or who want to standardise on a single specified brand across a project.

        As a reviewer noted: "As recommended by my electrician, I replaced my existing Clipsal smoke alarms with them after 10 years. A brand trusted by electricians and a quality lasting product."

        Across 220+ Sparky Direct reviews, three themes dominate.

        It's the straight swap. Sparkies and homeowners hitting the 10-year replacement point overwhelmingly buy the 755PSMA4 because it lands directly on the old Clipsal base plate — no re-wiring, no fresh ceiling holes, no plaster repairs. "Easy upgrade for existing out-of-date Clipsal smoke alarms. Great value and no messing about with base plate and in-ceiling wiring."

        Tradies trust the brand. "Trust in your brands, these hardly fail, very few call backs." "You cannot go wrong with the CLIPSAL brand." For working electricians, callback risk on a smoke alarm is reputation risk — and the 755-series has decades of installed-base credibility.

        Sparky Direct ships fast at trade prices. "Great all round service — at Tradie rates!" "Surprisingly, I received the 2 smoke alarms the very next day." "Best value for money smoke alarms on the market and a good brand you can trust."

        Great Alarms easy install on 13 April 2020

        I've installed heaps of these alarms and they are real easy to install and connect. You just have to be careful with the switch at the back. That first time I installed one, the plastic arm broke off as I was turning it on. I got a replacement easy enough from my supplier though and the rest of the install was easy. Highly reccomend.

        Appears to be a good product on 1 July 2019

        I purchased 6 of these alarms for a rental property to make it compliant with the rules coming into effect in Queensland in 2022. They came recommended by professionals and the brand reputation is good. Installation and pairing of the interconnected alarms was easy. I did encounter a problem with 2 of the alarms however in that the internal on/off switches fell off making the alarms useless as they are sealed units. Clipsal customer care was very helpful and arranged a very quick replacement of the faulty units by their local agent who also installed the new ones and tested the system. Clipsal (cust care and their tech dept) claimed they had not encountered this problem before however the agent who replaced them said he had seen it several times already, and had in fact had it happen to him during the installation process. Hopefully they will last the claimed 10 year lifespan.
