5 sensors and arduino powering

Hi everyone,

I have 5 Keyence PZ-G41n IR sensors (Square Reflective Cable Type, NPN - PZ-G41N | KEYENCE International Belgium).

I want to use them all at same time with Arduino Uno or Arduino Nano.

And I also have got a Gens 800mAh 11.1V 40C 3S LiPo Battery (http://www.gensace.de/rc-sale/gens-ace-800mah-11-1v-40c-3s1p-lipo-battery-pack.html).

How should I connect them to power my 5 sensors and arduino board, correctly? Do I need another component?

Thank you.

The data sheet says they need 10V minimum in the first place, so you can't power them from an Arduino.

Thank you,

but as I said:

I have got a Gens 800mAh 11.1V 40C 3S LiPo Battery (http://www.gensace.de/rc-sale/gens-ace-800mah-11-1v-40c-3s1p-lipo-battery-pack.html).

so I will power them from battery, just don't know how to connect them and do I need to use resistors or another components?

let me know if you had success with connecting those.
because i tried connecting one of those to the arduino , and the signal it gave me was pulses like pwm.

In setup(), set input pinMode to INPUT_PULLUP, pin goes LOW when activated. Arduino GND to sensor power supply ground (blue wire).
