GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Klein Tools VDV Scout™ Pro is a portable voice-data-video cable tester. It tests and troubleshoots RJ11, RJ12, RJ45, and
F-connector terminated cables and provides built-in tone generation for cable tracing.
The VDV Scout™ Pro LT combines these
features with length measurement.
Sections and lines marked [LT] and in RED are relevant only to VDV501-068 VDV Scout™ Pro LT.

WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death.
•
The VDV Scout™ Pro is designed for use on unenergized cabling systems. Connecting the VDV Scout™ Pro to live AC power
may damage it and pose a safety hazard for the user.
•
Poorly terminated RJ plugs have the potential to damage the jacks on the VDV Scout™ Pro. Visually inspect an RJ plug before
inserting it into the tester. The contacts should always be recessed into the plastic housing of the plug. Plugging 6-position
plugs into the 8-position jack on the tester has the potential to damage the outer-most contacts of the jack unless the plug is
specifically designed for that purpose.
