General Information




ZCS Encoding Procedures

The ZCS encoding procedure is performed with the DIS or MoDiC, The DIS is quicker in carrying out the procedure. The example ZCS coding procedures in this section are shown using the DIS. The screen views are representative of the MoDiC as well.

There are two methods of encoding replacement control modules.

- Manual input of ZCS
- Automatic ZCS retrieval and encoding
