DISPLAY (FIG. 4)
1
Tone icon illuminates when the tester is transmitting Lo or Hi or LoHi
tone frequency – additionally the conductor wires being toned on will
illuminate.
2
Pass icon illuminates if the cable is a properly wired 4-pair T568A/B data
cable or crossover (uplink) cable.
3
X-Over illuminates when cable is correctly wired in the Crossover pattern
(see details below).
4
Shielded illuminates when a data cable has a correctly assembled shield
contact between the two terminated ends.
5
Voltage Detected Warning: If voltage is detected on the cable being
tested, the "Voltage!" icon illuminates. 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.
6
Fail icon illuminates if the cable is not wired to one of the cabling
standards, and the appropriate fail mode icon(s) illuminates.
7
Short icon illuminates if there is a short on any two or more conductor
wires, along with those pin numbers.
8
Split icon illuminates if the designated wire pairs are not terminated in the
correct sequence.
9
Open icon illuminates when any of the conductor wires are not correctly
terminated, along with that pin number.
10
Battery Low icon illuminates when the battery is nearing depletion. The
symbol will begin to flash when the battery needs to be replaced. Results
may be unreliable at this point.
11
Tester-End Wire Map: The top line of the wiremap 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.
12
Remote-End Wire Map: The bottom line of the wiremap displays the
corresponding pin on the remote-end. Dashed lines on the remote line indicate
shorted pins. No pin numbers displayed on the remote line are open pairs.

CONTROL BUTTONS
Presses of less than about 1 second (short press) and more than 1 second
(long press) are recognized differently:
1. Power / Back light button: Short press: First short press turns unit on.
Press the power button second short press turns backlight on. Any
repeat of short press turns backlight on or off. Long press (greater than
2 seconds) of power button turns unit off. "OFF" will display as unit is
powering down.
2. Cable testing (short press): With the LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 on, short press
of the test button initiates test. Loop mode, continuous test, is default
setting. To turn off Loop Mode, long press the test button. **
3. Toning: Starting with the LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 on, a short press of the test
button will cause the LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 to tone in the low (Lo) frequency
mode on the first conductor wire. A second short press will transmit the
Lo tone on the second conductor wire. Repeated short presses will cycle
through toning on each individual conductor wire, and then each mated
pair and then all 8-conductor wires. The mode and wires toned on will be
displayed.
A long press of the tone button will cycle the tone from the low frequency
(Lo) to the high frequency (Hi) and to the warble cycle (Hi and Lo
intermittently). In test mode, the LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 will automatically power
off 10 minutes after last time test button is pressed. In tone mode, the
tester will turn off automatically 60 minutes after the last button press or
by exiting to mode select with a long press.
** Loop Mode assists in testing for intermittent problems. A test occurs every
2 seconds with no need to press the test button. Loop Mode on is default.
To turn Loop Mode off, long press the test button.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Testing continuity on terminated or installed RJ45 terminated cable (FIG 1 and 2):
1. Connect one end of the cable under test to the RJ45 shielded port located
on the top of the main tester. If testing a wall port, connect a known good
patch cable from the wall plate to the shielded RJ45 jack on the top of the
main tester.
2. Connect the other end of the cable under test to the RJ45 shielded jack on
the testing remote. If testing a wall port, connect a known good patch cable
from the wall plate to the shielded RJ45 port on the testing remote.
3. Press the power button on the keypad to turn the tester on.
4. Press the test button on the keypad to begin the test.
5.
Interpret the results of the testing using the wiring and display examples below.
* NOTE the remote can be removed or stored on tester during testing.
