Lake Shore Model 370 AC Resistance Bridge User’s Manual
3.4
RESISTOR INPUT CONNECTION AND CABLING
Signals being measured by the Model 370 are so small that the measurement environment must be taken into account
when connecting resistors to the instrument input. This section describes not only how to attach a resistor to the Model
370 but also suggests ways to manage measurement noise. Understanding the information given in this section before
installing the Model 370 can save hours of troubleshooting. Additional information on installing the Model 3716 Scanner
is given in Paragraph 3.5.
3.4.1
Resistor Input Connector Definition
Two 6-pin (240
°
) Circular DIN 45322 receptacles are used for the resistance measurement input. One connector provides
voltage source excitation connections (V) and the other provides current measurement connections (I). Both mate with
6-pin Circular DIN plug included with instrument (Lake Shore P/N G-106-233). Examples of lead arrangements are
shown in Figure 3.3.

NOTES:
1. The Model 370 makes an AC resistance measurement therefore the + and – signs are to aid in proper lead arrangement
and not indicate signal polarity.
2. Active guards can be turned on or off by the user. In the off state the guard pins default to signal common but do not
substitute for shields.

Shielding and Twisting
The minimum cable configuration for the Model 370 is shown below. Voltage leads and current leads are twisted and run
in shielded cable. The cable shield is tied to the shield pins on the input connectors. Paragraph 3.4.4 explains how the
shield can be extended to the experimental Dewar without creating ground loops.
