The 

Model 3770 I/O CONNECTIONS

 are via removable screw terminals which will accept wire sizes from 

AWG 12 to 26. 

NOTE:

 The recommended transducer cabling would be eight wire, twisted pair, individually 

shielded - wired as indicated (Fig. 6) 

Sense lines must be connected

 at the transducer (as recommended) or 

at the 3770 screw terminals - as a minimum. Table 1 denotes screw terminal assignments
