I'd suggest that is not the correct way to reset that Melcom6000.
Have you got the manual? If you have it will be in there.
There is a Melcom6*** that I know quite well and I think yours is the same, but not the way you are trying.
It seems to be the norm for people to assume that powering down/up will always reset to factory defaults, complete or just the codes, this is rarely how it is done, in fact I can't think of one.
