Each sealed section requires a different Seal Code. The number of Seal Codes you will use is determined by the number of sealed sections in the test. You must use the Seal Codes in the exact order in which they are listed below. For instance: if the table contains two sealed sections, use only the first two Seal Codes and ignore the remainder. page 8 of manual
