Issue
When using the UI-8-10V for 0-10V analog input, the ElecValue of the input shows the half of the actually applied voltage.

Environment
- NetController: CX9900 , CX9940 , CX9680
- IOU: UI8-10V (UI-8-10V)
Cause
UI8's 10V dip switch functions as the voltage divider.
Resolution
As the UI8's 10V dip switch functions as the voltage divider, it halves the 10V input voltage into 5V and uses it as the measured input. So, the ElecValue of the input shows the half of the actual input voltage.
Note: When the input is configured for 10V operation, the input impedance is 4.4kΩs. Therefore, the sensor used would have to be able to source as much as 2.3mA.
If input impedance is an issue for the sensor, then select the 5V input switch setting and use external resistors as detailed in How to use a 0-10V Sensor on a controller with 5V inputs.
