• Dimensions: 6.4" x 2.8" x 1.4" (16.3 x 7.1 x 3.6 cm)
• Weight: 9.0 oz. (256 grams) with battery and remote
• Operating Temperature: 0°C / 32°F to 50°C / 122°F
• Storage Temperature: -20°C / -4°F to 60°C / 140°F
• Humidity: 10% to 90%, non-condensing
• Maximum Voltage between any two connector pins
without damage:
• RJ Jack: 66V DC or 55V AC
• F-Connector: 66V DC or 55V AC
• Battery Life: 9V alkaline battery typical
• Standby: 4 years
• Active: 425 hours
• Cable Types: Shielded or Unshielded; Cat-7, Cat-7a,
Cat-6a, Cat6, Cat-5e, Cat-5, Cat-4, Cat-3, Coax
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death.
• The VDV Scout™ Pro is designed for use on unenergized cabling systems. Connecting the VDV Scout™ Pro to live AC power
may damage it and pose a safety hazard for the user.
• Poorly terminated RJ plugs have the potential to damage the jacks on the VDV Scout™ Pro. Visually inspect an RJ plug before
inserting it into the tester. The contacts should always be recessed into the plastic housing of the plug. Plugging 6-position
plugs into the 8-position jack on the tester has the potential to damage the outer-most contacts of the jack unless the plug is
specifi cally designed for that purpose.
WARNINGS:
Always wear approved eye protection.
