Programmable zone 3 becomes active when either the G22 or G22.1 code
is executed. It is made inactive when the G23 or G23.1 code is executed.

Important: You must home your axes first before the control will enable
the programmable zones.

G22.1 and G23.1 are modal (G22.1 cancels G23.1 and G23.1 cancels
G22.1). G22 and G23 belong to a different modal group than G22.1 and
G23.1. This means that programmable zone 2 may be activated without
activating programmable zone 3 if a G23.1 is executed.

G23 is automatically active at power up, control reset, or E-STOP reset as
the default G code for this modal group.

Your system installer can also turn zones on and off with PAL. Refer to
your system installer’s documentation for more information.
