Altera MAXSONAR LVEZ1 sensor

Hi

I want to cnnect the LVEZ1 sensor to the de2 board. I have read that the sensor has a serial rs232 format output. But i am not sure how i can connect these to the rs232 module on the de2 board. I am aware of the pin configuration and i only wish to receive data. Can i connect them directly "Altera FPGA families do not comply with RS-232 voltage levels, and may be

damaged if driven directly by signals from an RS-232 connector"? Even after connect how do i actually read the data and use it in my Verlilog?

Thanks for any help
