SCXI-1531 input range and ICP sensors

Hi,
I have a question about the input range of SCXI-1530 and SCXI-1531.
The maximum input range for SCXI-1530/1531 is +/-10V, and a typical ICP sensor provides an output signal that rides on a DC bias level ranging from 7.5V to 11.5V.

Now, if the bias level + signal level exceeds 10V, does this mean that SCXI-1530/1531 cannot be used?
In other words, does that mean that the sensor cannot be directly connected to the SCXI-1530/1531 channel?

Thank you in advance for your help.

correct. NI boards do a good job at protecting themselves from blowing up from to high of an input, but you will see nothing but a flat line at 10v.
