There are a couple of ways to reset your M.T.H. PS3.0-equipped engine:
Factory Resets
: Clears everything (makes engine just like it was when you
bought it new)
• Send a decimal 08 to CV8 to reset everything entirely back to
factory default
• Send a decimal 192 to reset everything except user speed tables
Feature Resets:
There are a couple of Feature Resets that you can use
• Press F28 twice (toggling on then off). This resets the smoke,
volume and
lights back to their defaults
• Send a decimal 64 for a Feature Reset. This resets volumes, smoke
and light settings.
• Send a decimal 128 to reset only address values back to factory
default
• This is the same as writing 55 to CV55 to engine address 55
NOTE:
The engine address has to be something other than
address 55
Lost or Unknown Engine Address and the 55-55-55 Address
Reset
In some cases you may not remember or have somehow lost the engine
address. Following the above Feature or Factory Resets will allow you to
recover an engine. The limitation to this is that for most resets you must know
the engine address. If you are unsure of the engine address you can apply the
55-55-55 reset (send a value of 55 to CV55 to engine address 55). In order for
this to work correctly the engine's address must NOT be 55. The engine will
need to be sitting at some address other than 55.
Below is the method (55-55-55 Reset) you can employ to return an engine to
its factory default short address of 3 (it will also set the engine's long address
back to its default – usually 3333 or the cab number on some models) if
you're unsure of the engine's current address:
• Check first to see if the engine happens to be sitting at address 55. Call
up engine 55 on your DCC handheld and hit F3 to start the engine up. If
it starts up then you can change the address to whatever you want using
CV1 (short address) or CV17 and CV18 (long address)
• If the engine doesn't start up at address 55 then you can use the 55-55-
55 reset. To perform this follow the instructions below:
• Ensure the DCC system is powered up and power is on the rails
• Call up engine address 55. NOTE – you are NOT changing the
engine's address to 55 you are just telling the DCC system to start
talking to engine address 55. You will want to make sure that no
other MTH engines are on the rails or any other manufacturer's
engines with an address of 55 are on the rails. MTH engines will
listen for commands coming to engine address 55 when the
55-55-55 reset is enabled even though they are not programmed
