and Location Number can be used interchangeably. In some 
DL-Windows screens, the word "Slot" is also used. They all 
mean the same thing. 
Since User Numbers are fixed, knowing a User Number will 
specify the associated Programming Level, and will in turn in-
dicate a User’s programming abilities.  For example, User 
Number 1 is always the Master, who can perform all program-
ming tasks. 
Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are al-
lowed to do anything the levels below them can do. For exam-
ple, if you are User 2, you are allowed to do anything that Us-
ers 3 through 2000 can do. 
What is a Group? 
With many lock applications, it is convenient for large numbers 
of similar Users to be grouped together. Placing Users into 
Groups (by assigning them specific User Numbers) allows 
large numbers of Users to be controlled all at once rather than 
individually--saving time and effort.  Groups are controlled via 
schedules, and a typical example involves enabling or dis-
abling a Group at a certain time. Default Group associations 
are specified in the tables on page 8.  For example, if you wish 
to add a User to Group 1, assign this User a User Number be-
tween 51 and 100. These default Group associations can be 
changed if needed to allow Groups larger than the default 
number of 50 (by using keypad Function 35). (See page 18 
for some Group function examples). 
Who are Users 297-300? 
Users assigned to User Numbers 297, 298, 299 and 300 have 
special abilities, as follows: 
User 297: Quick Enable User 300 
User 297 possesses the unique ability to enable the User 
Code associated with User 300. User 297 does this by first 
entering their own User 297 User Code into the lock keypad.  
When User 300 subsequently enters their User 300 User 
Code, the lock allows access (for one time) and then the 
User 300 User Code becomes disabled. 
For example, you wish to allow one-time access to a tempo-
rary worker. Simply enter the User 297 User Code into the 
lock keypad. Later, when the temporary worker enters the 
User 300 User Code into the lock keypad, the User 300 User 
Code  allows access (for one time only) and then becomes 
disabled. Later, if you wish to grant the temporary worker re-
access, simply re-enter the User 297 User Code and the 
User 300 User Code will be re-enabled (again for one time 
only).  
User 298: Quick PC Access Code 
Entering the User Code for User 298 enables that User to 
send data to or from the lock. Therefore, User 298 can acti-
vate what is the equivalent of Function 58 in Program Mode 
(see page 22), without the need to enter Program Mode nor 
the need to know the Master Code of the lock. An AL-PCI 
cable with a PC is required. NOTE: The User Code for User 
298 is not an Access Code. 
User 299: AL-DTM Code 
This is the only User Code that will initiate data transfer with 
the AL-DTM--and without allowing the User to pass through 
the door (the User Code for User 299 is not an Access 
Code). An AL-PCI cable and an AL-DTM (first programmed 
by the computer via DL-Windows) is required. 
User 300: One-Time Only Service Code 
This is a One-Time Only Service User Code enabled by User 
297. For example, User Code 300 is sometimes used for 
guard tour duties. See User 297: Quick Enable User 300 
above. 
What is DL-Windows? 
DL-Windows is a computer program that allows you to pro-
gram your ALARM LOCK T3 Security Lock. You do not need 
DL-Windows to program your lock, but it makes programming 
much faster and easier. With DL-Windows, you can quickly 
create Lock Programs (programs that make the lock perform 
its many functions) add multiple Users (who have access), 
retrieve event logs, and create Schedules. The benefit of DL-
Windows is that it allows you to set up all lock programming in 
advance (on your computer), and then later send the informa-
tion to the locks at your convenience.
