Klein Tools VDV501-824 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly comes in the Klein VDV501-824 Scout Pro 2 kit?
The VDV501-824 kit ships with one Scout Pro 2 tester, one self-storing Test-n-Map remote plus 7 additional Test-n-Map remotes (8 total), one coax barrel F adapter, 8 coax push-on F adapters, 8 RJ45 jumper test cables, a carrying case with molded compartments, the manual, and a 9V battery. That means you can leave 8 remotes on 8 drops and test, map, and ID them in one pass instead of walking back and forth.
2) Can the Scout Pro 2 test coax and phone lines, or is it Ethernet only?
All three. It tests voice on RJ11/12, data on RJ45, and video on F-connector coax, so one tester covers a structured wiring job end to end. The cable has to be terminated with those connectors, not bare conductors.
3) Will the Klein Scout Pro 2 find a split pair, or just opens and shorts?
Split pairs are included. The tester reports continuity, opens, shorts, miswires, split pairs, and shield detection, which is the full fault set you need to sign off a data drop rather than just proving the cable conducts.
4) Do I need a separate probe to trace cable with the Scout Pro 2?
Yes. The tester has a tone generator with 4 tone styles built in, but tracing requires an analog tone tracing probe, which is not part of the kit. Buy the probe separately if you plan to chase unlabeled runs through walls or a crowded ceiling.
5) How many cable runs can the Scout Pro 2 kit identify at once?
Eight out of the box, using the 8 included Test-n-Map remotes. The tester supports up to 19 remote locators total, so on a larger rack you can add LanMap or CoaxMap Location Remotes (sold separately) and ID up to 19 runs from one end.
6) Is it safe to put the Scout Pro 2 on a live line?
No. Do not use it on energized circuits. It does include a voltage warning that flags when voltage is present on the line so you know to disconnect before testing, but that is a protection feature, not permission to test live.
7) Does the Scout Pro 2 tell me if a shielded cable's shield is actually connected?
It does. Shield detection is one of its test functions, so on STP runs you can confirm the shield is continuous and bonded rather than finding out later when you chase noise on the link.
8) What accessories work with the Klein VDV501-824?
Klein lists VDV500123, VDV512056, and VDV526055 as accessories for the Scout Pro 2 kit. Those are what you add on top of the included remotes and adapters.
9) How big and heavy is the Scout Pro 2 kit in the case?
Packed, the kit weighs 3.94 lb (1.8 kg) and the case measures 13.25 x 13 x 4.375 inches. It is a van-and-tool-bag kit rather than a pocket tester, which is the tradeoff for carrying 8 remotes and the adapter set in one place.
10) What powers the Scout Pro 2, and will it drain the battery if I leave it on?
A single 9V battery runs it, and one is included. Auto power off and a low battery indicator keep it from killing the cell if it gets left switched on in the bag.
