using 5v-12v as input sensor

[amararsa24s]

hi all
I would like to use IR Photoelectric Switch such as :  PNP, Normally Open sensor. E3F-DS30P1
Ideally, I would use the 12v from the A6 board to power the IR switch, I'm only concerned about the output of the switch...
Can I connect it safely to one of the Digital inputs or Analog inputs?

The E3D-DS30P1 will output the exact same voltage as it get's on it's the vcc leg when it detects an object.

thanks!
