Reply to "Resister For A Z4000 Transformer"

Again, in video 0061, your starting voltage was 12V and lowering the handle. You did it so slow and the difference between the high starting voltage and the slow lowering triggered the setting function hence the bell ding. You also did not stay at zero nor achieve zero.

In video 0065 you lower it to 8.5 volts displayed, but you failed to press the direction button long enough to again achieve true zero or it's just not registered by the engine long enough.

I was able to get my engine to act up by either starting with too high of a voltage or not waiting long enough at zero.

Also, not seen in you video you can mess up by again, raising the voltage too high and then lowering it. This is interpreted as making a setting VS trying to leave reset. In other words, I could replicate by raising the throttle to somewhere between 14-16V indicated by may Z4000, then lowering to say 10 or 12 and the engine detected this as a setting command. This means a part of the technique is do not raise the throttle too slowly or too far and then lower it as that can be interpreted as you changing a setting in the PS1 firmware.

Raise to 10V. Don't slam it, but also do not raise too slowly. Don't overhsoot the mark and then lower it.

Wait the time period to ensure the BCR is charged.

Ensure either using a bulb as load or if your Z4000 is not an early version ensure you actually get and sit at 0V on the track long enough to be sensed as true zero by the engine. Failing to achieve true zero long enough just looks like a setting command to the engine.

When raising the voltage, again, doing it too slow from 0 is not good but don't go past about 12V as raising too high is seen as a jackrabbit start and the engine might ignore that too.
