Need help with 873M ultrasonic sensor

Hey everybody, rookie here.

We have been working with a prototype robot because we are a new team and we just ordered a slew of parts from firstchoicebyandymark.com and among them was a Ultrasonic sensor (873M-D18AV300-D4) but it seems like there is no documentation of anyone using this sensor on a FRC bot and the manual from the company (linked here) is not much help. It also seems that the specs for the sensor says it needs 15-30V of power but the RoboRIO analog input's only provide 5V.

Does anyone know if this is usable with the RoboRIO and how we should wire it correctly? Has anyone used this sensor before?

Thanks in advance,

D.C.
