ENGLISH GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS The Klein Tools VDV Scout Pro 3 is a portable voice-data-video cable tester. It tests and troubleshoots RJ11, RJ12, RJ45, and F-connector terminated cables and provides tone generation for cable tracing. The VDV Scout Pro 3 also measures cable length, tests for shield, performs hub blink testing, and traces up to 19 locations (up to 5 locations with included remotes, additional remotes available separately). -

- Page 5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DISPLAYING/EDITING LENGTH CONSTANT: Follow these instructions to set the length constant based on a known value (for example, as given by the cable manufacturer). The VDV Scout Pro 3 stores a separate length constant for each of the three cable types (voice, data, and video).
- Page 6 ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TESTING CONTINUITY ON TERMINATED OR INSTALLED RJ45/RJ11/RJ12 CABLE (FIG. 1, FIG. 2): 1. Connect one end of the cable under test to the RJ45 port (if testing a data cable) or RJ11/RJ12 port (if testing a voice cable) located at the top of the main tester body. If testing a wall port, connect a known good patch cable from the wall plate to the appropriate port at the top of the main tester body.
- Page 7 Pro 3's built-in analog tone generator. The tester will place a low-frequency voltage on the cable. By using an analog tone probe (Klein Tools VDV500-123, sold separately), a cable can be identified by the tone it is carrying. This technique only allows one cable to be traced per tone generator, but has additional benefits like the ability to trace unterminated cables of non-standard types.
- Page 8 Data/Down button will change the pins or pairs of pins on which the tone is carried. 4. Use an analog tracing probe (Klein Tools VDV500-123 recommended, sold seperately) to determine the wire or wires on which the tone is being transmitted (see tone probe instruction manual for details).
- Page 9 ‡NOTE: Only Klein Tools Universal RJ12 Jumper Cable (VDV726-125) or an approved equivalent should be used in the RJ45 jack of the Test + Map™ ID Remotes. Using a standard RJ11/12 patch cable in the RJ45 port on the tester could result in damaged contact pins.
