TESTING CONTINUITY & CABLE IDENTIFICATION SIMULTANEOUSLY:
The VDV Scout Pro 3 has the capability of simultaneously testing continuity and providing cable location
®
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

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.
