Baumer FRDM 15P5499 S13 Photoelectric Sensor

Baumer FRDM 15P5499/S13 Photoelectric Sensor is a compact, non-contact switch that detects the presence or absence of objects by emitting light and sensing its reflection or interruption. The device carries MFR number 15P5499S13 and is listed as FRDM 15P5499/S13, identifying it within Baumer’s FRDM line of photoelectric sensors. It operates on a DC supply of 12 to 24 volts, making it compatible with common industrial control circuits that power sensors from 12 V or 24 V DC. This variant is documented by retailers as discontinued, which affects availability and ongoing support options. As a photoelectric sensor, it provides fast, reliable object detection in automated environments without physical contact, a core capability that supports processes such as part presence checks and position sensing when integrated into appropriate control logic. When evaluating replacements, engineers typically verify the specific sensing mode, output configuration, and mounting options offered by the model, though those precise electrical specifications are not provided in the limited public listing for this exact part. For sourcing decisions, contacting Baumer directly or consulting authorized distributors can help confirm current equivalents or the best-fit active alternative within the Baumer lineup.
