Klein Tools VDV501-826 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What comes in the Klein Tools VDV501-826 Scout Pro 2 LT kit?
The VDV501-826 kit ships with the Scout Pro 2 tester, 1 self-storing Test-n-Map remote plus 7 more Test-n-Map remotes, 1 coax barrel F adapter, 8 coax push-on F adapters, 8 RJ45 jumper test cables, a carrying case with cut compartments, the manual, and a 9V battery. That is everything you need to start mapping runs out of the box, no separate battery purchase.
2) Can the Scout Pro 2 LT tester test coax and phone lines, or only Ethernet?
All three. The Scout Pro 2 tests voice on RJ11/12, data on RJ45, and video on F-connector coax, so one tool covers a structured wiring job instead of carrying separate testers for each media type.
3) How many drops can I ID at once with the Scout Pro 2 LT, and can I add more remotes?
Eight Test-n-Map remotes ship with it, so you can test, map, and identify eight runs in a single pass at the panel. The tester supports up to 19 LanMap or CoaxMap location remotes for larger ID jobs; those are sold separately.
4) What wiring faults will the Scout Pro 2 find?
It reports opens, shorts, miswires, split pairs, and continuity, and it also flags shielded cable via shield detection. Split-pair detection matters on data runs because a split pair will often pass a simple continuity check and still fail at gigabit speeds.
5) Does the Klein VDV501-826 include a tone probe for tracing cables?
No. The tester has a built-in tone generator with four tone styles, but tracing requires an analog tone tracing probe, which is not part of the kit. Budget for a probe separately if you plan to trace unlabeled cable in a wall or bundle.
6) How far can the Klein VDV501-826 measure cable length?
Up to 2000 feet (610 m). That is what the LT designation means on this kit, the length-measurement version, and it lets you verify a run is within the 100 m channel limit or find roughly where a break sits before you open a ceiling.
7) Is it safe to use the Scout Pro 2 on a live circuit?
No. Do not use it on energized circuits. It does have a voltage warning that alerts you if voltage is present on the line you connected to, which protects the tester and tells you to disconnect, but it is not a tool for live work.
8) Do I need an adapter to test coax with push-on connectors?
The kit covers it. Eight coax threaded-male to push-on-female F adapters come with it, plus a coax barrel F adapter for joining two threaded ends. That lets you land the remotes on push-on terminated drops without extra parts.
9) How heavy is the Klein VDV501-826 kit to carry between jobs?
The complete kit weighs 3.94 lb (1.8 kg) with the case, and the case has molded compartments that hold the tester, remotes, adapters, and jumpers in place. Overall height is listed at 9 inches (22.9 cm).
10) What battery does the Scout Pro 2 take, and will it drain sitting in the truck?
One 9V battery, included with the kit. Auto power off and a low battery indicator are built in, so it shuts itself down rather than running the battery flat if you set it down mid-test.
