OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LENGTH MEASUREMENT: The ScoutTM Pro 3 uses the capacitive properties of a cable to measure its length. One end of the cable should be connected to the corresponding port on the top of the tester. The other end should be left disconnected or attached to the self-storing remote.

LENGTH CONSTANT: The length constant refers to the electrical characteristic of a cable used to characterize length. Every cable has an associated length constant in units of picofarads per foot (pf/ft.). Setting the length constant on the tester is important to obtaining an accurate cable length measurement from the ScoutTM Pro 3.The default length constants are as follows: Voice: 17.0pF/ft. Data: 15.0pF/ft. Video: 15.0pF/ft.

The length constant can sometimes be provided by the manufacturer of the cable (see DISPLAYING/EDITING LENGTH CONSTANT section). You may have to determine the length constant yourself (see DETERMINING AN UNKNOWN LENGTH CONSTANT section). Length constants can range from 10pF/ft. to 40pF/ft.

Measurement accuracy is dependent on how close the tester can be set to the length constant of the cable being measured and the consistency of the cable along its length.The length constant can vary from cable to cable, even of the same type produced by the same manufacturer. It can also vary over the length of one cable because the length constant is dependent on the physical properties of the cable, which may not be consistent throughout the entire cable. The change in wire pair spacing through the cable can vary the length constant along the length of the cable.When setting the length constant using a length of cable, the cable should be at least 50 ft. long. This will yield a ±5% uncertainty (1 in 50) of length constant accuracy. A longer cable reduces this uncertainty.

MEASURING LENGTH – VOICE OR DATA CABLES:

  1. Press the Power button G to turn tester on.
  2. Connect one end of the cable to the appropriate port: RJ45 port (if testing data cable), RJ12 port (if testing voice cable), located at the top of the main tester body. Leave the other end of the cable unterminated.
  3. Press the Length button F to enter Length mode.
  4. Press the Data button C or Voice button A , depending on the cable being tested, to begin the test.
  5. Press the Data button C repeatedly to select the pair of wires that should be measured. The first functional pair is chosen by default.
  6. Read the length measurement as shown.

MEASURING LENGTH – COAX CABLES:

  1. Press the Power button G to turn tester on.
  2. Connect one end of the cable to the F-connector port located at the top of the main tester body.Leave the other end of the cable unterminated.
  3. Press the Length button F to enter Length mode.
  4. Press the Video button B to begin the test.
  5. Read the length measurement as shown.

NOTE: A voice or data cable under test can be unterminated (open) or terminated by an RJ45 ID remote. If it is terminated by the self-storing remote, the reading will be 1 to 2 ft. greater than the actual measurement. In this case, subtract 1 to 2 ft. from the reading to obtain the actual measurement. Coax cable under test maybe left unterminated.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DISPLAYING/EDITING LENGTH CONSTANT:

Follow these instructions to set the length constant based on a known value (for example, as given by the cable manufacturer). The ScoutTM Pro 3 stores a separate length constant for each of the three cable types (voice, data, and video).

  1. Press the Power button G to turn tester on.
  2. Press the Settings button E .
  3. Select the cable type by pressing the Voice button A , the Coax button B or the Data button C .

The length constant will be displayed with the word “EDIT”. Use the UP A and DOWN C buttons to increase or decrease the Length Constant value in units of 0.1pF/ft. to the desired value. The decimal is not displayed, so for example, “154” on the display means that the Length Constant is 15.4 pF/ft. Length Constants are displayed in pF/ft. or pF/m, depending on the selected unit of measure mode.

NOTE: The Length Constant can only be edited in the pF/ft. mode. It is not editable in the pF/m mode.

NOTE: The Default for Length Constant edit for the Data cable is the wire pair of pins 1 and 2. If you wish to set the Cable Length constant on Wire pairs other than pins 1 and 2 of data/RJ45 cable, follow steps 1 through 3 above. Press the length button F . Press the Data button C repeatedly until the pair you wish to edit is displayed. Press the Edit button E again, and you will be editing the wire pair you just selected.

NOTE: The Default for Length Constant edit for the Voice cable is the wire pair of 3 and 4 of voice cable. If you wish to set the Cable Length constant on Wire pairs other than pins 3 and 4 of voice cable, follow steps 1 through 3 above. Press the length button F . Press the Voice button A repeatedly until the pair you wish to edit is displayed. Press the Edit button E again, and you will be editing the wire pair you just selected.

DETERMINING AN UNKNOWN LENGTH CONSTANT:Follow these instructions to set the Length Constant based on a sample cable of known length. For best accuracy, the sample cable should be 50 ft. or greater. This example will use 50 ft.

  1. Acquire a known length of cable at least 50 ft. in length (50 ft. in this example) of the same type that you would like to measure.
  2. Press the Power button G to turn tester on.
  3. Follow the procedure in MEASURING LENGTH section(s) to set up the correct type of cable.
  4. Press the Settings button E to enter Edit mode.
  5. Use the Up A and Down C buttons to increase or decrease the Length Constant, in units of 0.1pF. Continue to adjust the Length Constant until the Length Measurement displays the correct known length measured earlier.You may now measure other unknown lengths of cable using this measured length constant.

CHANGING UNIT OF MEASUREMENT:

  1. Press the Power button G to turn tester on.
  2. Press the Settings button E twice; “ft” or “m” will be displayed.
  3. Use the Up A and Down C buttons to change between feet (ft) and meters (m).NOTE: Feet unit readings have no decimal place and are displayed as “0 Ft.”. Meters unit readings have one decimal place and are displayed as “0 m”.

TESTING CONTINUITY:Faults: When testing for continuity of a cable, you are checking that all conductors within a cable are connected properly from one end to the other. Usually, faults occur when terminations on each side are not connected (an “open”), or when adjacent conductors are accidently connected (a “short”).

Miswires/split pairs: 8-wire data cables can have an additional set of errors. A miswire simply means that the pin on one side of the cable is not connected to the identical pin on the other side of the cable (for example, pin 2 on one side is connected to pin 6 on the other side). Certain pairs of conductors are required to be twisted together from endpoint to endpoint. These errors are called split pairs, and can be present in cables that don’t have any miswires.

TESTING CONTINUITY ON TERMINATED OR INSTALLED RJ45/RJ11/RJ12 CABLE (FIG. 1, FIG. 2):

  1. Connect one end of the cable under test to the RJ45 port (if testing a data cable) or RJ11/RJ12 port (if testing a voice cable) located at the top of the main tester body. If testing a wall port, connect a known good patch cable from the wall plate to the appropriate port at the top of the main tester body.
  2. Connect the other end of the cable under test to the corresponding port on the testing remote. If testing a wall port, connect a known good patch cable from the wall port to the appropriate port on the testing remote.NOTE: Location-only ID remotes cannot be used.
  3. Press the Data button C or the Voice button A on the keypad to begin the test.
  4. Interpret the results of the test using the WIRING AND DISPLAY EXAMPLES section.

TESTING CONTINUITY ON TERMINATED OR INSTALLED COAX CABLE:

  1. Attach female-to-female Barrel Connector to the F connector port on the top of the tester.
  2. Connect one end of the cable to be tested to this adapter.
  3. If testing a terminated coax cable, attach a second Barrel Connector to the other end of the cable under test.NOTE: This step is not necessary if testing an installed coax cable, or a cable attached to a wall plate.
  4. Connect either a numbered CoaxMap™ Location ID Remote or one of the Test + Map™ ID Remotes to the Barrel Connector.
  5. Press the Video button B to begin the test.
  6. Interpret the results of the test using the WIRING AND DISPLAY EXAMPLES section.

CABLE IDENTIFICATION – DATA AND VOICE CABLES:It is often necessary to identify cables that branch out from the wiring closet. The ScoutTM Pro 3 can assist in two ways: The first and most convenient way to identify installed cables is by using location ID remotes. Using location ID remotes, you can trace up to 19 drop locations with one trip to the wiring closet or router. Identification with ID remotes is done digitally, and does not rely on any manual tracing.The second way to identify cables is using the ScoutTM Pro 3’s built-in analog tone generator. The tester will place a low frequency voltage on the cable. By using an analog tone probe (Klein Tools VDV500-123, sold separately), a cable can be identified by the tone it is carrying. This technique only allows one cable to be traced per tone generator, but has additional benefits like the ability to trace unterminated cables of non standard types.

  • LanMap™ Location ID Remotes identify location only.
  • CoaxMap™ Location ID Remotes identify location only.
  • Test+Map™ ID Remotes identify location, and perform wire map and length tests.

IDENTIFYING INSTALLED RJ45 CABLE:

  1. Insert a numbered LanMap™ Location ID Remote into the RJ45 port of each room that needs to be identified. Write down numbers and room names for later reference.
  2. Take the ScoutTM Pro 3 to the wiring closet or router (the source of the internet connection).
  3. Connect an unknown cable to the RJ45 port on the top of the tester.
  4. Press the Data button C to begin the ID test. The LCD will read “ID#”, where “#” is the ID number of the LanMap™ Location ID Remote connected to the other side of the cable. Compare this number to the number/room pair list you made in step 1 and mark the cable with a piece of labeled tape.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each unknown cable until all have been labeled. You can use these labels to determine which rooms should be connected to the router, or to troubleshoot intermittent connections in the future.

IDENTIFYING INSTALLED COAX CABLE:

  1. Insert a numbered CoaxMap™ Location ID Remote into the F-connector port of each room that needs to be identified. Write down numbers and room names for later reference.
  2. Take the ScoutTM Pro 3 to the wiring closet or cable splitter (the source of the cable connection).
  3. Attach female-to-female Barrel Connector to the F-connector port on the top of the tester, then connect Connect an unknown cable to the Barrel Connector.
  4. Press the Video button B to begin the ID test. The LCD will read “ID#”, where “#” is the ID number of the CoaxMap™ Location ID Remote connected to the other side of the cable. Compare this number to the number/ room pair list you made in step 1 and mark the cable with a piece of labeled tape.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each unknown cable until all have been labeled.

TONE TRACING ON INSTALLED RJ45/RJ11/RJ12 CABLE:

  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 satellite location of the cable under test.
  3. Short press the Tone button D to initialize tone generation. Press the Tone button D repeatedly to cycle through the available tones, from a steady low or high tone, to a warbling slow or fast tone. For voice toning, repeatedly press the Voice/Up A button will change the pins or pairs of pins the tone is carried on. For data toning, repeatedly press 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 tone probe instruction manual for details). The tone will be loudest at the cable to which the ScoutTM Pro 3 is connected. Mark the cable with a label.
  5. Repeat steps 2-6 for each unkown cable location.

TONE TRACING ON INSTALLED COAX CABLE:

  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 port at the satellite location of the cable under test.
