Data Transfer Module (AL-DTM) 
An AL-D TM can be 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-DT M) and to the lock, or in 
reverse (from the lock through the AL-DTM back to the computer).  Use of the older AL-DTM model 1 is not 
recommended.  Note:...

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 losing their key? 
 The answer lies in the advantage of software.  Software (also called firmware) is not hard or fixed like hardware--software is 
flexible and changeable to your needs.  Software can be programmed (and re-programmed again and...

First Time Start Up 
IMPORTANT:  Failure to follow this exact procedure can result in erratic lock behavior.  The DL2800 lock uses five (5) AA-size 1.5 volt alkaline batteries.  Remove the back cover, install batteries into the battery 
pack.  Connect the battery pack plugs and the lock will beep 3 times.  To load the default program press any key within 5 sec-
onds, the lock will beep slowly while the default values are loaded and beep rapidly upon completion.

Terminology Used in this Manual 
The Lock Program 
A Lock Program is stored within the locks circuitry and contains 
the instructions that the lock uses to perform its various func-
tions.  You can use the keypad to change the Lock Program, 
and you can also use DL-Windows (defined below) to create a 
Lock Program on your computer, and then transfer and store 
the Lock Program within the lock circuitry.   
 The Lock Program consists of 4 areas:  User Codes, Func-
tions, Time Zones, and Schedules, all...

8 
TimeZones 
Events (recorded lock activities) can be programmed to occur 
at specific 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.  In DL-W indows, 
you can create TimeZones and link events to them. 
 
Schedules 
Program your lock to maintain a schedule in which certain 
events occur automatically.  For example, you can program the 
lock to allow Groups 1 Users access ONLY during specific...

The Programming Level defines which Programming Func-
tions a User is allowed to perform.  Each User Number is as-
sociated with a defined level of ability--a Programming Level-
-as to which Functions the assigned User can access.  The 
highest level--Master--allows access to ALL Functions. 
 In addition, each Function (see pages 14-26) has its own fixed 
Programming Level.   
 
A User must possess a Programming Level equal to the 
Programming Level of the Function in order to access that 
Function....

WIRING 
           See the Installation Manual for more information.  Batteries: 
          Use only 1.5 volt Duracell Alkaline size-AA batteries.  
With average use, batteries last about 5 years.
