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
3 series testers come with the Self-Storing Test + Map™ ID Remote #1. Test + Map™ ID Remotes #2 through
#6 are included in some kits (VDV501-853, VDV770-850), Test + Map™ ID Remotes #7 through #12 are sold
separately in the VDV Scout
TESTING CONTINUITY & CABLE IDENTIFICATION SIMULTANEOUSLY – INSTALLED RJ45/RJ11/RJ12 CABLE
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
TM
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 labeled 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 EXAMPLE section.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each unknown cable until all cables have been labeled. 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.
TESTING CONTINUITY & CABLE IDENTIFICATION SIMULTANEOUSLY – INSTALLED COAX CABLE
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
TM
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 D 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 labeled tape, print a label or mark 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 labeled. You can use these labels to
determine which rooms should be connected to the cable splitter, or to troubleshoot intermittent connections
in the future.
TESTING POWER OVER ETHERNET (PoE) - (FIG. 9)
1. Press the Power button
2. Connect PoE powered Data (RJ45 terminated) cable to PoE port on right side of tester.
3. Long press the Length button
4. If power is present, tester will display Voltage icon (lightning bolt)
Sourcing Equipment).
5. PoE mode will be displayed "PoE" or "PoE+" (see "IEEE Standard PoE Parameters" chart on next page
for details).
6. PoE wiring configuration will be displayed: "A", "B" or "AB" .
FIG. 9
If the PoE powered cable is erroneously connected to the standard RJ45 test jack on the top of the tester, the
screen will display the warning power symbol, and the PoE with an arrow pointing to the correct jack on the right
side of the tester.
