Connections to the COND SGA/A & COND SGA/D input/output signal and the power supply are made via
2.5mm² field terminal blocks. Cable entry in the cased versions is via glands in the side of the case.

NOTE: Strain excite is Excitation to the transducer.
Strain input is Signal from the transducer.
The Ref 5V/2.5V is generated internally and used for calibration
The cable connecting the sensor to the COND SGA should be shielded.
This typical cable data is provided for information only.
The cable should have 2 x twin twisted cables. Ideally with each pair individually shielded and with an overall
shield.

If possible segregate the signal cable from Power Cables; allow a 1meter (3 feet) distance from such cables.
Do not run signal cable parallel to power cables. Cross such cables at right angles.
The ground connection conductor should have sufficient cross-sectional area to ensure a low impedance path
to attenuate RF interference.
