Default Pace 4000

I got my hands on a pace 4000 (telepest), and after some reading, I found out that it is possible to get these boxes working in pure area. BUT when I try to reset the box by pulling jumper, sometimes for over an hour @ a time, it never resets back to 09999. I thought that these boxes also set the net id itself if you were in a pure area?
Anyways, I tried using funcard method of setting net id , but it still stays the same. Probably because I cant get it to reset to default 09999. I was also gonna use libby to do it, but I cant find the schematics Anywhere to convert a scart & rs232 cable to do the job!
Has anyone came accross this problem B4, or has anyone any suggesstions?
Thanx in advance,
Beatbox
