When used the SR554 can be used in the bypassed as a simple transformer, no power mode. In the bypassed mode, the output connection is required.

GAIN OF SR554 prevent inductive pick-up. The actual gain of the SR554 is a function of the source impedance, frequency and For most experiments it is preferable to the set gain. In the bypass mode (x100), use the SR554 in the buffered mode.
