weird, I bought one a few years ago and there was a reset switch too.
In fact I just pulled it out and am looking at it and yes mine has a reset switch.

Just looked at the link I gave you and the instructions for that one shows a 'remove this red wire' where as on my kit that removed red wire, and the other red wire are shorted together for a few seconds to reset counter to '00'.

Wonder why the MPJA version doesn't use that function?


Edit: I found out why - it does not work! The wiring does not match the product. Both of the red wires do the same thing - AC power input.

However on that side of the board is C2, a 220uF cap. Short this out momentarily and the count goes back to '00'. Just tried it and it works.
