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 LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 is designed for use on unenergized cabling systems.

•

Connecting the LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 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 LAN Scout™ Jr. 2. Visually inspect an RJ plug before inserting it into the
tester. 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.

Warning or Caution

Always wear approved eye protection

DISPLAY (FIG. 4)

1

Tone icon illuminates when the tester is transmitting

frequency

.

2

Pass icon illuminates if the cable is a properly wired 4-pair T568A/B data

cable or crossover (uplink) cable.

3

X-Over illuminates when cable is correctly wired in the Crossover pattern

(see details below).

4

Shielded illuminates when a data cable has a correctly assembled shield

contact between the two terminated ends.

5

Voltage Detected Warning: If voltage is detected on the cable being

tested, the “Voltage!” icon illuminates. A check for voltage is performed
before each test and if found, no test is run. The tester should be
disconnected immediately from the source of the voltage.

6

Fail icon illuminates if the cable is not wired to one of the cabling

standards, and the appropriate fail mode icon(s) illuminates.

7

Short icon illuminates if there is a short on any two or more conductor

wires, along with those pin numbers.

8

Split icon illuminates if the designated wire pairs are not terminated in the

correct sequence.

9

Open icon illuminates when any of the conductor wires are not correctly

terminated, along with that pin number.

10

Battery Low icon illuminates when the battery is nearing depletion. The

symbol will begin to flash when the battery needs to be replaced. Results
may be unreliable at this point.

11

Tester-End Wire Map: The top line of the wiremap displays the pins on

the tester end in order. These pins are mapped to the pins on the remote­end shown directly below them on the LCD.

12

Remote-End Wire Map: The bottom line of the wiremap displays the

corresponding pin on the remote-end. Dashed lines on the remote line indicate
shorted pins. No pin numbers displayed on the remote line are open pairs.

CONTROL BUTTONS

Presses of less than about 1 second (short press) and more than 1 second
(long press) are recognized differently:

1. Power / Back light button: Short press: First short press turns unit on.
Press the power button second short press turns backlight on. Any
repeat of short press turns backlight on or off. Long press (greater than
2 seconds) of power button turns unit off. “OFF” will display as unit is
powering down.

2. Cable testing (short press): With the LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 on, short press
of the test button initiates test. Loop mode, continuous test, is default
setting. To turn off Loop Mode, long press the test button. **

3. Toning: Starting with the LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 on, a short press of the tone
button will cause the LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 to tone in the low (Lo) frequency
mode on the first conductor wire. A second short press will transmit the
Lo tone on the second conductor wire. Repeated short presses will cycle
through toning on each individual conductor wire, and then each mated
pair and then all 8-conductor wires. The mode and wires toned on will
be displayed.

A long press of the tone button will cycle the tone from the low frequency
(Lo) to the high frequency (Hi) and to the warble cycle (Hi and Lo
intermittently). In test mode, the LAN Scout™ Jr. 2 will automatically power
off 10 minutes after last time test button is pressed. In tone mode, the
tester will turn off automatically 60 minutes after the last button press or
by exiting to mode select with a long press.

** Loop Mode assists in testing for intermittent problems. A test occurs every

2 seconds with no need to press the test button. Loop Mode on is default.
To turn Loop Mode off, long press the test button.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Testing continuity on terminated or installed RJ45 terminated cable (FIG 1 and 2):

1. Connect one end of the cable under test to the RJ45 shielded port located
on the top of the main tester. If testing a wall port, connect a known good
patch cable from the wall plate to the shielded RJ45 jack on the top of the
main tester.

2. Connect the other end of the cable under test to the RJ45 shielded jack on
the testing remote. If testing a wall port, connect a known good patch cable
from the wall plate to the shielded RJ45 port on the testing remote.

3. Press the power button on the keypad to turn the tester on.

4. Press the test button on the keypad to begin the test.

5. Interpret the results of the testing using the wiring and display examples below.

* NOTE the remote can be removed or stored on tester during testing.

Flashing

NOTE: An open fault or short fault takes precedence over miswires when the

appropriate icon(s) illuminates. The Split icon illuminates if the cable wiring
does not maintain the designated pairs, an AC signal fault.

The 1-2 pair pins are shorted together and the 7-8 pair is open. The pins with
the errors are flashing. Dash lines (-) on the bottom (remote) display line
indicate the short, while no numbers on the bottom line indicate the open pair.

A common error in building a cable is to put all the pairs in pin sequence
1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8. This will produce the correct continuity, but the pairs
are designated to be on 568a cable with a miswire: Pins 1 and 2 on the LAN
Scout™ Jr. 2 are connected to pins 2 and 1 at the remote-end. The pins with
this error are flashing.

TONING

Tone Tracing on uninstalled RJ45 terminated cable:

1. Insert the RJ45 terminated end of the wire to be traced into the RJ45
shield port on the main tester body.

2. Press the power button on the keypad to turn the tester on.

3. Press the tone button on the keypad to begin toning. The tone will begin
in the Lo mode on the conductor wire in position one on the connected
RJ45 plug.

4. Short press the tone button to cycle through the conductor wires, 1 to 8
then mated pairs then to all eight conductor wires simultaneously.

5. Long press the tone button to cycle through Lo, Hi or warble
(LoHi intermittently) tone frequencies.

6. Using an analog probe (Klein Tools VDV500-123 recommended, sold
separately) to determine the wire or wires on which the tone is being
transmitted (See Tone probe instruction manual for details.) Mark the
cable with a label.

7. Repeat steps above for each unknown cable.

Tone Tracing on installed RJ45 terminated cable:

1. Connect a known good patch cable from the wall plate to the shielded

RJ45 jack on the top of the main tester.

2. Press the power button on the keypad to turn the tester on.

3. Press the tone button on the keypad to begin toning. The tone will begin

in the Lo mode on the conductor wire in position one on the connected
RJ45 plug.

4. Short press the tone button to cycle through the conductor wires, 1 to 8

then mated pairs then to all eight conductor wires simultaneously.

5. Long press the tone button to cycle through Lo, Hi or warble

(LoHi intermittently) tone frequencies..

6. Use an analog probe (Klein Tools VDV500-123 recommended, sold

separately) to determine the wire or wires on which the tone is being
transmitted (See probe instruction manual for details). Mark the cable
with a label.

7. Repeat steps above for each unknown cable.
