GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Klein Tools VDV Scout
®
Pro 3 is a portable voice-data-video cable tester. It tests and
troubleshoots RJ11, RJ12, RJ45, and F-connector terminated cables and provides tone generation
for cable tracing. The VDV Scout
®
Pro 3 also measures cable length, tests for shield, performs hub
blink testing, and traces up to 19 locations (up to 5 locations with included remotes, additional
remotes available separately).

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 3 is designed for use on unenergized cabling systems. Connecting the VDV Scout
®
Pro 3
to live AC power may damage it and pose a safety hazard for the user.
•
Improperly terminated RJ plugs have the potential to damage the jacks on the VDV Scout
®
Pro 3. 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.

Included in kit or sold separately.
*The RJ jacks share internal connections so only one RJ cable can be connected at a time for accurate cable
test results. However, an RJ cable and a coax cable may be connected at the same time. In ID mode, all
connectors on the VDV Scout
®
Pro 3 may be connected at the same time.
