Hi Nick

I had a similar problem with one of my T1 decoders (my fault)
I tried to do the re-set in CV30 -to no avail

I fixed it by using a different system (Lenz) to do the reset and it took a couple of attempts

It may have something to do with the current available on the programing track or the transfer
of signal from the track-to the loco pickups- to the decoder

Give it another go

Hope this helps

Regards Zmil

Hi Nick

At least you have a good bullet proof system with NCE Procab

The main draw back I have with the MultiMAUS is I cannot change CV1 for 3 out of 4 Loco's without resorting to the same
technique , of pressure or clipping the Track output wires directly to the contacts

The borrowed Lenz has no problem with them

Take a voltage reading off the blue and white wires - mine originally was well over 20v before I fitted the diodes to bring in down to around 14v. TCS decoders in particular are fussy with high voltages when it comes to programming them.

Hi

I have stopped using the Roco supplied power supply as the Blue-white voltage is 21v
I use a laptop 15vDC power supply and the track voltage is now much lower and the blue - white voltage is 13v
also the Roco booster does not get hot at all or even warm , previously running arround 8 loco's it did get a little warm.

I must admit I haven't tried to program CV1 using the Roco system since I have done this as I have the old Lenz set up on my workbench maybe I should give it another try.
