Data Transfer Module (AL-DTM) 
An AL-DTM is used to transfer Lock Programs (and other data) between DL-Windows and locks.  
When computers cannot be transported or when electrical power is not available, the hand-held AL-
DTM device acts as a go-between--it allows the transfer of lock data from the computer (through the 
AL-DTM) and to the lock, or in reverse (from the lock through the AL-DTM back to the computer).   
Infrared Printer (AL-IR1) 
An AL-IR1 printer is used to print Audit Trails and User Code lists without the need for a PC.  
Its infrared reader means no cable connection to the lock is needed. 
Double-ended Mini Banana Plug Connector 
After you create the program in DL-Windows and transfer the program from your computer to an 
AL-DTM, transfer the program from the AL-DTM to the lock(s) via a double-ended mini banana 
plug. 
AL-PCI Cable 
An ALARM LOCK AL-PCI cable is required to communicate between your computer’s RS-232 
serial communications port (COM 1-4) and the AL-DTM or lock.  One end of the AL-PCI cable is 
designed to be used on a 9-pin serial Com Port.  If your computer has a 25-pin Com Port only, a 
25-pin to 9-pin adapter must be used.  The other end of the AL-PCI cable features a 2-pin ba-
nana plug connector which is polarity sensitive--the TAB (marked “GND”) side must be plugged 
into the lock’s black (left) terminal. 
Supported Products 
USB to RS-232 Cable 
If your computer does not have a serial COM port (DB-9 male) available, you can plug your AL-
PCI2 cable into a special USB to RS-232 cable.  Order part PCI-USB for the USB to RS-232 
cable only, or ALPCI2-U for both the USB to RS-232 cable and an AL-PCI2 cable).

Lock Design Overview 
Why Use Software inside a Lock? 
With ordinary door locks, the need to make physical copies of metal keys and distributing them can be a huge organizational and 
financial task -- and what will you do if someone causes a security breach by simply losing their key? 
 The answer lies in the advantage of software.  Software (also called firmware) is not hard or fixed like hardware is.  Software 
is soft -- flexible and changeable to your needs.  Software exists inside your Alarm Lock™ series lock, and can be programmed 
(and re-programmed again and again) to suit your changing requirements.  No more metal keys to distribute...instead, distribute 
User Codes -- and delete them from the software when needed.  (A User Code is the software equivalent of a metal key--it is a 
series of numbers the User enters into the door lock keypad to unlock the lock). 
 
Preparing to Program your Lock 
Notice that the keypad contains 12 buttons, numbers 1 through 9 plus zero, a star button (:) and a special AL button (;).  
These 12 buttons are all you need to program your lock.  In addition to manually programming your lock (using only the keypad), 
you can also program your lock using a computer program named DL-Windows.  DL-W indows is not required--but it makes pro-
gramming faster and easier.  This guide will show you how to program your lock manually, without DL-Windows.  (For information 
about programming DL-Windows, see User Guide OI237). 
 
Programming your lock begins after you unpack it from the box -- there is a specific procedure outlined in Quick Start (page 12) 
in which you wake up the lock to prepare it for programming.  This Quick Start procedure shows you all the steps required to 
get your lock to start working.  To begin programming, you must first enter something called Program Mode.   
 
What is Program Mode? 
With hardware, hand tools can be used to make fixes or changes.  With software, however, changes are made using the keypad.  
The software has only two modes--Normal Mode and Program Mode.  When you want to make changes to the lock program, 
you enter Program Mode.  When you finish programming and wish to put the lock into use, you exit Program Mode to enter 
Normal Mode.   
 
You enter Program Mode using the keypad--by pressing the Master Code of the lock that was set at the factory.  The Master Code 
is basically a secret passcode that allows you to enter Program Mode.  But since all locks are identical when leaving the factory 
(all new locks have the same Master Code), this factory Master Code is therefore not very secret--and should be changed to 
your own personal Master Code.  This way, only YOU can enter Program Mode and make changes to the lock programming.   
 
Once your new Master Code is set , then you can continue with the Quick Start procedure and set the weekday, date and time.  
After this, you can start entering User Codes for people to use.  All changes to the lock are organized by their Function Number.  
Want to change the date?  Use Function Number 38.  Want to add a User Code?  Use Function Number 2.  Some Functions you 
will use often, and others you may never need. 
 
Notice that when you program your lock, programming tends to follow a 
consistent 5-step pattern:  (1) Enter Program Mode   
(2) Press ; followed by the Function #  (3) Press ; and enter data  (4) Press : to end  (5) Exit Program Mode.   
 
Turn the page and learn about the special terminology used with your lock.  Once that is clear, use the Quick Start proce-
dure on page 12 to help you get up and running.

Terminology Used in this Manual 
What is a Lock Program? 
A Lock Program contains the instructions that a lock uses to 
perform its various functions.  You can use the keypad to cre-
ate a Lock Program stored within the lock.  You can also use 
DL-Windows (defined below) to create a Lock Program on 
your computer, and then transfer and store the Program in the 
circuitry contained inside the lock itself.  The Lock Program is 
essentially a computer database file that maintains feature 
settings, schedules, audit trails, etc.  Using DL-Windows, Lock 
Programs can be created with default information, edited on 
your PC, and then sent to (and even received from) locks.   
 The Lock Program consists of 4 areas:  User Codes, Fea-
tures, Time Zones, and Schedules, all defined below:   
 
What are User Codes? 
Also called User Access Codes or PIN Codes, User Codes are 
numbers the User enters into the lock keypad to unlock the 
lock.  The User Codes are part of the Lock Program, and the 
Lock Program is stored in the lock circuitry awaiting the Users 
to key in their User Codes.   
 
What are Features? 
Your lock is designed to support several options and functions.  
Using the keypad or DL-Windows software, you can select the 
features you wish to activate, such as if the lock will automati-
cally adjust for Daylight Saving Time in the spring and autumn, 
or if the lock sounder should be disabled or enabled. 
 
What is a TimeZone? 
Events (recorded lock activities) can be programmed to occur 
at certain times.  It is these times (for example, “every Tues-
day at 5PM”) that are referred to as TimeZones.  TimeZones 
can be created manually through the keypad.  You can use 
DL-Windows to create these TimeZones, and once created, 
you can link events to these TimeZones. 
 
What is a Schedule? 
Your lock can be programmed to maintain a schedule in which 
certain events can occur automatically.  For example, you can 
program the lock to allow Groups of Users (with their User 
Codes) access ONLY during specific business hours.  With 
another example, you can program another lock to UNLOCK 
at 9am, LOCK at noon for lunch, UNLOCK at 1pm, and LOCK 
again at 5pm--every weekday.  As you can see, many different 
combinations of Schedules can be created to suit the needs of 
the Users.  First you create TimeZones (see above).  Next you 
create events and link them to your TimeZones (also using 
DL-Windows).  When finished, you can view (in DL-W indows) 
your schedule.
 
 
What is a User? 
A User is a person who is authorized to simply use or make 
certain programming changes to the lock.  This User can be 
anyone--from a one-time visitor (who will almost certainly have 
no authority to make changes) to the owner of the building in 
which the lock is installed (who will probably wish to have total 
authority to make changes).  The DL1300 Series lock can hold 
up to 2000 Users in its programming memory, and each User 
possesses a pre-defined level of authority--a Programming 
Level--as to their ability to use or make changes to the lock.   
 
What is a Programming Level? 
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, DL1300 Series locks can hold up to 2000 Users 
in its programming memory, and each User is associated with 
a User Number (see definition of User Number below) 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 User Numbers 2 and 3.  
Can program all functions except changing the Master 
Code.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 4). 
Manager:  Always associated with User Numbers 4, 5, and 6.  
Can program all functions except functions relating to lock 
configuration.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 3). 
Supervisor:  Always associated with User Numbers 7, 8 and 
9.  Can only program functions relating to day to day 
operation.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 2). 
Print Only Users:  Always associated with User Numbers 10 
& 11.  Restricted to print event logs only.  No other 
programming ability allowed.  (Abbreviated as 
Programming Level = 1). 
Basic Users:  Always associated with User Number 12 and 
higher (except 297-300).  No programming ability allowed.  
Most Users are Basic Users, who are given their own 
personal User Codes and are only allowed to simply unlock 
the lock when desired.   
 
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, Print-Only Users and Basic Users can do in addi-
tion to those tasks allowed for Managers (Level 3).   
 
What is the Minimum Required Program Level? 
This Programming Level abbreviation is the minimum pro-
gramming level required to access the particular Function.  
(The higher the level number, the more programming tasks the 
User is allowed, with Master allowing all tasks). 
 
In this manual, Programming Levels for the DL1300 are abbre-
viated as follows:  M = Master, 4 = Installer, 3 = Manager, 2 = 
Supervisor, 1 = Print Only Users 
 
See page 8 for more information, and see page 6 for the loca-
tion of these Minimum Required Program Level numbers. 
 
What is a User Number? 
(User Number = Location Number = User Location = Slot in 
Lock) 
User Numbers are used and are significant within each individ-
ual lock only.  The User Number determines the Programming 
Level for each User.  For example, DL1300 Series locks can 
hold up to 2000 Users in its programming memory.  This mem- 
						

							7 
ory can be thought of as simply a numbered list from 1 
through 2000.  Each entry in the list is represented by a User 
Number.  Therefore, where a User is located in this list--their 
User Location--is a commonly used description of their User 
Number.  Because of their similarities, a User Number, User 
Location 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 
indicate 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 ex-
ample, if you are User 2, you are allowed to do anything that 
Users 3 through 2000 can do.   
 
What is a Group? 
With many lock applications, it is convenient for large num-
bers of similar Users to be grouped together.  Placing Users 
into Groups (by assigning them specific User Numbers) al-
lows large numbers of Users to be controlled all at once 
rather than individually--saving time and effort.  Groups can 
be controlled via schedules, and a typical example involves 
enabling or disabling 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 between 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 exam-
ples. 
 
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 be-
comes 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.   
 
User 299:  AL-DTM Code 
This is the only User Code that will initiate data transfer with 
the AL-DTM--and without allowing unlocking the lock (the 
User Code for User 299 is not an access code).  An AL-PCI 
cable and an AL-DTM (first programmed by the computer in 
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 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 infor-
mation to the locks at your convenience. 
Terminology Used in this Manual (contd)  
						

							8 
User 299 is a Non-Pass Code.  This is the only code that will initiate data transfer with the AL-DTM. 
NOTES:  
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, DL1300 Series locks can hold up to 2000 Users 
in its programming memory, and each User is associated with 
a User Number (see definition of User Number in the previ-
ous Terminology section) and therefore a specific Program-
ming 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:  Always associated with Users 10 & 11.  
Restricted to print audit trails only.  No other programming 
ability allowed.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 1). 
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, Print-Only Users and Basic Users can do in addi-
tion to those tasks allowed for Managers (Level 3).
