The wiring pinout is on page 12.

US Digital has this analog version that only runs around $67. It has a 15K RPM limit, with a +/- 1 deg of accuracy. It can be treated like a potentiometer for all intents and purposes, but is actually an absolute shaft encoder.

Depending on what you are trying to do with it, this may also be an option.
