"Extremely Helpful. Shipped me a replacement unit next day and i was up and running within 24 hours. Replacement new from machinery manufacturers was on a 7 day lead time."
The BAUMER FVDM 15P5103 is a high-performance photoelectric sensor designed for precision detection tasks in a variety of industrial applications. This sensor boasts an impressive actual range of up to 1200 mm and a sensing distance of 240 mm, making it suitable for complex automation tasks where accuracy is paramount.
Crafted with a robust die-cast aluminum housing, the FVDM 15P5103 ensures durability and longevity in harsh industrial environments. Its compact dimensions, with a width/diameter of 15 mm and a length of 60 mm, allow for easy integration into machinery without requiring significant space.
The sensor operates using a pulsed infrared diode as its light source, with a wavelength of 880 nm, ensuring reliable detection even in challenging lighting conditions. The presence of an LED indicator provides immediate visual feedback on the sensor's status, while an additional flashing LED serves as an alignment aid or soiled lens indicator.
Equipped with a 20-turn potentiometer, users can finely adjust the sensor's sensitivity to tailor it to specific application requirements. The FVDM 15P5103 also features suppression of reciprocal influence, which prevents cross-talk between sensors in close proximity.
On the electrical front, the sensor has a fast response and release time of less than 1 ms, ensuring quick and efficient operation. It is designed to work within a voltage supply range of 10 to 30 VDC and has a typical current consumption of 30 mA. The output function can be set to light or dark operate, and the sensor includes PNP output circuitry capable of handling an output current of less than 200 mA. Additionally, it comes with built-in short circuit and reverse polarity protection for enhanced operational safety.
The FVDM 15P5103 operates within a temperature range of -25 to +65 °C and is rated at IP 65, signifying a high level of protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction.
This sensor is an ideal choice for engineers and technicians looking for a reliable and precise sensing solution for their automation systems. Whether used in manufacturing, packaging, material handling, or other industrial sectors, the BAUMER FVDM 15P5103 offers a blend of performance, versatility, and reliability.

Thumbs up to Rob for helping out with an urgent requirement we had on a Friday afternoon. The part we wanted was over in Europe and Rob went out of his way to get it ordered and on site here for the following Tuesday.City Bearings
Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Extremely Helpful. Shipped me a replacement unit next day and i was up and running within 24 hours. Replacement new from machinery manufacturers was on a 7 day lead time.Sean Conlin
Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
After ordering an urgent part from Marvo i received a great level of customer service and Rob was very helpful.Claire Hinchliff
Excellent service partially from Mark who stayed late to ensure the part arrived with me same day as this was a critical part for me even though this was my first time using Marvo. I will defiantly be using again.Josh Holt
