I think we are getting into over-thinking this a little. There are mentions of 
it as stated. Yes there are instructions from the manufacturer. But "coding" 
the minute operations of the field is a little much.
As for losing the sheets, a tape measure tells what size hole saw to get.

Usually there is an instruction sheet that tells what hole saw is to be used.  
Until of course, the sheet is tossed.  I check in the parts order and rescue 
the instructions and note the hole saw size in the inventory program.  I also 
keep extra hole saws on the shelf.

I don't know if there is a code, but you have to drill a larger hole than
