VDV SCOUT ® PRO 2 LT – DISPLAYING LENGTH CONSTANT
1. Assure the tester is off and the screen is blank.
2. Press the length button I to enter length mode. to enter length mode.
3. Press the length button I again. again.
The length constant will be displayed
on the screen for three seconds.
VDV SCOUT ® PRO 2 LT – LENGTH CONSTANT EDIT MODE
Follow these instructions to set the length constant based on a known value (for example, as given by the cable manufacturer).
The VDV Scout ® Pro 2 LT stores a separate length constant for each of the three cable types (voice, data, and video). ® ®
1. Follow the procedure in MEASURING LENGTH section MEASURING LENGTH MEASURING LENGTH to set up the correct type of cable.
2. Press and hold the length button I for three seconds until EDIT CAP is shown for three seconds until EDIT CAP is shown on the screen.
3. Press the Up Arrow F and Down Arrow and Down Arrow G to increment or decrement the length constant to increment or decrement the length constant in units of 0.1pF to the desired
value. The screen will switch back and forth between
the length measurement and the length constant value
every two seconds while no buttons are pressed.
4. Press the length button I again again
to return to length measurement.
VDV SCOUT ® PRO 2 LT – DETERMINING LENGTH CONSTANT
Follow these instructions to set the length constant based on a sample cable of known length. For best accuracy, the sample cable
should be 50 ft. or greater.
1.
Cut or obtain a length of cable of the same type you would like to measure. Measure the cable using standard methods (pad
printing on the cable or a tape measure).
2. Follow the procedure in MEASURING LENGTH section MEASURING LENGTH MEASURING LENGTH to set up the cable to be tested.
3. Press and hold the length button I for three seconds until EDIT CAP is shown for three seconds until EDIT CAP is shown on the screen.
4. Press the Up Arrow F and Down Arrow and Down Arrow G to increment or decrement the length constant to increment or decrement the length constant in units of 0.1pF. The screen will
switch back and forth between the length measurement and the length constant value every two seconds while no buttons are
pressed. Press the arrows until the length measurement is the same as the value measured earlier. The length constant can
still be changed while the length measurement is being viewed in this mode.
5. Press the length button I again to return to again to return to
length measurement. You may now measure
other unknown lengths of cable.
VDV SCOUT ® PRO 2 LT – CHANGING UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
1. Assure the tester is off and the screen is blank.
2. Press the length button I to enter length mode. to enter length mode.
3. Press the phone button F and video button and video button G at the same time. at the same time. The screen will show "METERS" or "Ft." momentarily, then
show the length measurement in the unit selected.
Note: Ft. unit readings have no decimal place and are displayed as "0 Ft.". Meters unit readings have one decimal place and are displayed
"0_0" for 0.0 meters. Length constants are displayed in pF/ft. or pF/m depending on the selected unit measurement mode.
Length Constant = 15.0pF/ft.
