ztc chips for zero1

[Anonymous]

wondering if anyones using ztc controls dcc chips and if so how they perform with the dated zero1 system from hornby as recently bought zero1 finding hornbys chips keep backfiring or just dont work at all or maybe you know of another chip that will work with the zero1 system any help or suggestions welcome

I don't use it, but I read that there were different chips for Britain and for North America (due to different hertz in the electric supply.) I used to know a fellow who adjusted the chips from Brit to N.A. operation, but he went to Britain. I think the final runs of chips were intended for N.A. (for some reason).
I believe that 01 was unique and not compatible with anything else.

I have in use 2 ZTC 202 chips on Z1 I found that they were very finniky to program at times, many trys were required even disconnecting power between program insertions however when a program was succesful it was quite good over ordinary Z1 chips as the ZTC chip delivered more volts to the loco motor . However when running two locos with ZTC chips one loco after a while heated up and was unable to controll if run seperate no problems also no problems if mixed with Z1 modules.
