With the new smoke alarm legislations driving record installations, not all alarms are made to handle Queensland’s unique climate conditions. Humidity, dust, and insects can cause standard alarms to fail or trigger false alerts, costing you time on repeat callouts.
That’s why PSA developed the Lifesaver range—smoke alarms designed, tested, and proven for Queensland homes.
Queensland’s high humidity and sudden changes in dew point can wreak havoc on standard smoke alarms. The result? False triggers in the middle of the night, frustrated customers, and wasted time returning to fix the same job.
For the past 5 years, PSA has worked directly with Queensland electricians and our long-term manufacturing partner (30+ years) to engineer a smoke alarm that works in QLD conditions.
The result?
Our most reliable smoke alarms ever—the PSA Lifesaver Advance range.

At Detector Inspector, we provide a like-for-like brand in our replacement installations. So, if a client has a PSA, we replace it with another PSA. PSA products now rate as a 9/10, and they are so easy to install and troubleshoot.
We don’t want any headaches, and with PSA’s 10-year warranty, there’s peace of mind. I’d rate PSA’s customer service as 9.5/10.
PSA products are good, reasonably priced, and their investment in R&D has addressed the humidity issue. By far, PSA is the most personable and easy to work with as well.

We have been using PSA for over 20 years. The products are of good quality and value; we have never had any issues, and they are great people to work with.

We manage the maintenance of around 100 apartments across multiple buildings. Over the years, we’ve experienced ongoing issues with false alarms caused by moisture and humidity, sometimes as frequently as weekly with products from various manufacturers. As we upgraded our apartments to meet the new standards, we chose to place our trust entirely in PSA, and it’s a decision we’re very happy with.
Since switching to the new-generation PSA smoke detectors, we haven’t encountered a single issue. I confidently rate PSA 10 out of 10 for delivering a high-quality product backed by exceptional service. I have no hesitation recommending PSA Products to others, they truly care about their product development and customer experience.

Varsity Apartments, located on the Sunshine Coast, cater to student accommodation. We have 124 apartments, 32 blocks, all of which have four bedrooms, so we run 640 smoke alarms to keep them all safe.
We’ve been using the Lifesaver 6800, which has been a massive improvement over the previous models. Due to dust and humidity, we used to experience multiple false alarms; however, we’ve had only three issues in total over the last 18 months.
I’m very happy to continue using the Lifesaver 6800 with the Advance Sensor; it’s an advancement in smoke alarms, along with the internal mesh that minimises dust and insects.

I’ve seen a significant improvement in the Lifesaver & DCW. We previously experienced issues, along with other brands, but we’re no longer facing any problems.
We offer PSA as our premium product because PSA continues to innovate, improve, and now features a double sensor that eliminates dust and insects as well.
PSA service and technical support are excellent. Personal service, extended warranties and timing for turnarounds is awesome. There’s a smooth process for replacing old with new.
I would rate PSA’s customer and tech support as 10/10.

The Advance Sensor offers superior smoke detection with an all new photoelectric chamber design and advanced software.
The Advance Sensor has been specially designed to be resistant to moisture-related triggers that commonly occur during high-humidity events.

The innovative conductive chamber actively repels dust particles, reducing maintenance needs and extending the alarm’s lifespan by preventing dust accumulation.
Simplifies setup with a user-friendly mounting system, reducing installation time andeffort for electricians.
Some homes require smoke alarms to be wirelessly interconnected for full compliance. The LIF6000WB module allows LIF6800 and LIF6800RL alarms to wirelessly connect with each other and with the LIF6000DCW, ensuring your home is fully networked and compliant.
Powered by a dual battery system, the LIF6000DCW delivers long-lasting protection without the worry of low battery chirps. Enhanced wireless connectivity and an improved particle detection algorithm mean the alarm sounds only when it truly matters.
Built for Australia’s humid conditions, the LIF6000DCW features a flow-plate design that promotes airflow through the detection chamber for more effective smoke detection, while reducing moisture and dust build-up.
