The Brown wire connects to your positive voltage, the Blue to your negative. You might be able to get away with plugging it into the +5v of the RIO, but you'll probably want to get the +12v off of the VRM for it to be stable. Then the black wire is your analog signal wire to be used in the analog input on the RIO. Oddly enough, I can't find a data sheet or instruction sheet anywhere, But the white cable is your remote teach cable. I would try and put things at different distances while pressing this button to try and see it. You results may vary.

Make sure to pay attention to this note on the data sheet

Analog Voltage Models are 15...30V DC
