OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TONE TRACING ON INSTALLED RJ45/RJ11/RJ12 CABLE (FIG. 7):
1. Connect a known working patch cable to the RJ45 port (if you are
tracing a Data cable) or RJ12 port (if you are tracing a voice cable)
at the top of the tester.
2. Connect the other end of the patch cable to the wall port at the Connect the other end of the patch cable to the wall port at the
satellite location of the cable under test.
3. Short press the Tone button D to
initialise the tone generation. Press
the Tone button D repeatedly to cycle
through available solid tones (800Hz,
1000Hz, 1200Hz, 1400Hz, 1500Hz) and
alternating frequencies (800Hz/1000Hz,
1000Hz/1500Hz). For voice toning,
repeatedly pressing the Voice/Up A
button will change the pins or pairs
of pins the tone is carried on. For data
toning, repeatedly pressing the Data/
Down C 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 the Tone
Probe Instruction Manual for details).
The tone will be loudest at the cable
to which the VDV Scout Pro 3 is
TM
connected. Mark the cable with a label.
5. Repeat Steps 2-6 for each unkown
cable location.
TONE TRACING ON INSTALLED COAX CABLE (FIG. 8):
1. Attach female-to-female Barrel Connector to the
F-connector port on the top of the tester.
2. Connect a known working patch cable to the Barrel
connector at the top of the main tester body.
3. Connect the other end of the patch cable to the wall Connect the other end of the patch cable to the wall
port at the satellite location of the cable under test.
4. Short Press (for less than 2
seconds) the Tone button D to
initialise tone generation. Press
the Tone button repeatedly to
D
cycle through the available tones.
Value (in ohms) of the tone being
transmitted will be displayed on
the bottom row.
5. Use an analog tracing probe to
determine the wire on which the
tone is being transmitted (see the
Tone Probe Instruction Manual
for details). The tone will be
loudest at the cable to which the
VDV Scout TM Pro 3 is connected.
Mark the cable with a label.
6. Repeat Steps 2-6 for each room
that has cable installed.
TESTING CONTINUITY & CABLE IDENTIFICATION SIMULTANEOUSLY:
The VDV Scout Pro 3 has the capability of simultaneously testing continuity and providing cable location
TM
identification for up to twelve locations with Test + Map™ ID Remotes (sold separately). The VDV Scout
series testers come with the Self-Storing Test + Map™ ID Remote No. 1. Test + Map™ ID Remotes No. 2 through
No. 6 are included in some kits (VDV501-853, VDV770-850), Test + Map™ ID Remotes No. 7 through No. 12 are
sold separately in the VDV Scout Pro 3 Test + Map™ ID Remote Kit (VDV770-851).

TESTING CONTINUITY & CABLE IDENTIFICATION SIMULTANEOUSLY – INSTALLED RJ45/RJ11/RJ12 CABLE
FIG. 7
1. Attach a numbered Test + Map™ ID Remote to the RJ45/RJ12 port of each room that needs to be identified
using a known good patch cable‡. Write down the number of the remote and of the room number/description
in which it is placed, for comparing/identifying the cables later.
2. Take the VDV Scout
the cable being tested).
3. Connect an unknown cable to the RJ45 port on the top of the tester.
4. Press the Data button
respectively. The LCD will display 'ID#', where '#' is the ID number of the Test + Map™ ID Remote connected
to the other side of the cable.
5. Compare this number to the remote number/room pair list you made in Step 1 and mark the cable with a
piece of labelled tape, print a label or mark with permanent marker. The LCD will also display the results of the
continuity test. These results should be interpreted using the WIRING AND DISPLAY EXAMPLES section.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for each unknown cable until all cables have been labelled. You can use these labels to determine
which rooms should be connected to the cable splitter, or to troubleshoot intermittent connections in the future.
‡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.

1. Attach a numbered Test + Map™ ID Remote to the F-connector port of each room. Write down the number of
the remote and of the room number/description in which it is placed, for comparing/identifying the cables later.
2. Take the VDV Scout
the cable being tested).
3. Connect an unknown cable to the Video port on top of the tester using a barrel connector.
4. Press the Video button
'#' is the ID number of the Test + Map™ ID Remote connected to the other side of the cable.
5. Compare this number to the remote number/room pair list that you made in step 1 and mark the cable with a
piece of labelled tape, print a label or mark it with a permanent-ink pen. The LCD will also display the results of
the continuity test. These results should be interpreted using the Wiring and Display Example section
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for each unknown cable until all have been labelled. You can use these labels to
determine which rooms should be connected to the cable splitter, or to troubleshoot intermittent connections

1. Insert RJ45 terminated data cable into the RJ45 port on top of tester, connect other end to the equipment
(hub, switch, router, etc.).
2. Press the Power button
3. Long press (> 1 second) the Tone
4. Signal will be transmitted from tester to equipment to illuminate the corresponding port's light.
