The Programming Level defines the range of programming 
tasks a User is allowed to perform. The higher the Level, the 
more programming tasks the User is allowed (with Master al-
lowing ALL tasks). 
Note: Since the Programming Level is closely associated with 
the type of User and their abilities, a User who holds a certain 
Programming Level is sometimes referred to by their “User 
Type”. 
For example, PDL Series locks can hold up to 5000 Users in 
its programming memory, and each User is associated with a 
User Number (see definition of "User Number" in the previous 
"Terminology" section) and therefore a specific Programming 
Level, as follows: 
Master: Always associated with User number 1. Is always 
enabled and can program all functions. (Abbreviated as 
Programming Level = M). 
Installer: Always associated with Users 2 and 3. Can pro-
gram all functions except changing the Master Code.  
(Abbreviated as Programming Level = 4). 
Manager: Always associated with Users 4, 5, and 6. Can 
program all functions except functions relating to lock 
configuration. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 3). 
Supervisor: Always associated with Users 7, 8 and 9. Can 
only program functions relating to day to day operation.  
(Abbreviated as Programming Level = 2). 
Print Only Users: In previous versions of the ALARM LOCK 
Trilogy series locks, Print Only Users were always 
associated with User Numbers 10 & 11 and were restricted 
to printing event logs only, using a special AL-IR1 
handheld printer. With the PDL6100 series wireless lock 
no longer requiring (or allowing) the use of this AL-IR1 
printer,  Print Only Users are also no longer required. Al-
though the attributes of User Numbers 10 and 11 have 
been changed to replicate those of "Basic Users", to en-
sure compatibility with previous lock model versions the 
use of User Numbers 10 and 11 with the PDL6100 lock is 
not recommended. 
Basic Users: Always associated with User number 12 and 
higher (except 297-300). No programming ability allowed. 
Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are al-
lowed to do anything the levels below them can do. For exam-
ple, if you are a Manager, you are allowed to do anything that 
Supervisors and Basic Users can do in addition to those tasks 
allowed for Managers (Level 3).
