You can find the input impedance by measuring the current through the mechanical switch, I would expect the impedance to be sufficiently high that a resistor with the PhotoDet is not needed.
The unit input shows a PNP and NPN side, with just a 2 wire detector as you have, it should work on either side (PNP or NPN).
If it was an open collector 3 wire separately powered then it would be side dependent.
