1. Mode: The top line of the display shows the cable type
test mode or tone generation mode.
2. Pass/Special Cables: “Pass” will be on if the cable is
a properly wired 4-pair T568A/B data cable, a 3-pair
one-to-one wired voice cable or a video cable with no
faults. In addition, the “X-over” illuminates if a properly
wired cross-over (uplink) cable is recognized, or the
“Rev” illuminates if the cable is a properly wired reverse-
pinned voice cable. The wire map will show actual pin
connections.
3. Cable Faults: The “Fail” icon will be on only if the cable
is not wired to one of the cabling standards. An open
or short error takes precedence over miswires and
the appropriate icon(s) illuminates. The “Split” icon
illuminates if the designated pairs are not twisted
together in the cable, an AC signal fault.

A. Voice: Each press of the Voice button causes one test
to be run on the 6-position RJ jack and the results
displayed. The VDV Scout™ Pro will turn off after 20
seconds automatically. If the button is pressed and held
until “LOOP ON” is displayed, tests are run continuously
and the display updated until the O/ID button is pressed
or after 5 minutes of no change in results. Three hash
marks will alternately light up on the display to show the
tester is in continuous mode. Continuous mode is useful
for trouble-shooting intermittent problems.
4. Shield: “Shielded” illuminates when a shielded data cable is properly connected at both ends. It will be fl ashing if there is a short
to a wire in the cable along with that pin number and the “Short” indicator.
5. Tester-End Wire Map: The top line displays the pins on the tester end in order. These pins are mapped to the pins on the remote-
end shown directly below them on the LCD.
6. Remote-End Wire Map: The bottom line displays the corresponding pin on the remote-end. Dash lines on the remote line
indicate shorted pins. No pin numbers displayed on the remote line are open pairs. "U" indicates an unknown continuity, usually
the equivalent of 10kΩ to 100kΩ of DC resistance.
7. Battery Low: The battery low symbol illuminates when the battery is nearing depletion. The symbol will begin to fl ash when the
battery needs to be replaced. Results may be unreliable at this point.
8. Location ID: In the video or the ID modes, the “ID” icon will be on with the number of the remote ID displayed or an error
message of “Open” or “Short”. In continuous cable test mode, three segments will light up in turn to show when the tester is
running subsequent tests.
9. Voltage Detected Warning: If voltage is detected on any of the tester connectors, the “Voltage!” icon is turned on. A check for
voltage is performed before each test and if found, no test is run. The tester should be disconnected immediately from the source
of the voltage.
B. Video: Pressing the Video button starts the ID test, testing only for the F-connector, because the video continuity test is the
same as the ID test. The test loops continuously until the O/ID button is pressed or for 5 minutes after last change in ID status.
C. Data: Each press of the Data button causes one test to be run on the 8-position RJ jack and the results displayed. The VDV
Scout™ Pro will turn off after 15 seconds automatically. If the button is pressed and held until “LOOP ON” is displayed, tests
are run continuously and the display updated until the O/ID button is pressed or after 5 minutes of no change in results. Three
hash marks will alternately light up on the display to show the tester is in continuous mode. Continuous mode is useful for
fi nding intermittent problems.
D. Tone: When Tone is pressed, the VDV Scout™ Pro begins sending an audio tone for the connector last tested with the pins and
cadence previously selected for that connector type. To change the connector type, press a different connector type button.
Pressing the same connector type button again will change the pins carrying the tone. Pressing the Tone button will cycle
through the available tone cadences. To turn the VDV Scout™ Pro off, press the O/ID button. The VDV Scout™ Pro will turn
off automatically 60 minutes after the last button press. The tone is compatible only with analog tone tracers such as the Klein
Tools VDV500-060 or VDV526-054. It will not be audible without the aid of an analog tone probe.
E. Off/ID: Pressing O/ID will turn off the VDV Scout™ Pro when it is on in any mode. With the VDV Scout™ Pro off, pressing the
O/ID button starts the ID test mode. The ID test mode scans for all possible ID types – voice, video and data. The “ID” icon and
a progression of “o” are displayed on the bottom line of the display to indicate scanning is active. If no ID remotes are found,
“Open” is displayed. When an ID remote is found, the connector type and the ID number are displayed. If multiple ID remotes
are found, the ID or fault is displayed in sequence. The test loops continuously until the O/ID button is pressed or for 5 minutes
after last change in ID status.
Note: The RJ jacks share internal connections so only one RJ cable can be connected at a time for accurate cable test results.
However, an RJ cable and a coax cable may be connected at the same time. In ID mode, all connectors on the VDV Scout™
Pro may be connected at the same time.
