Series 6 and 8: the selector groups the headboard, intermediate and batten car numbers by foot type without naming each; xx = foot code. See the Ronstan website for mast compatibility tables. Series 8 limits: the lower values apply with the shortest headboard car and batten cars, the higher with the longest.
