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 finan-
cial 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 is.  Software is 
soft -- flexible and changeable to your needs.  Software exists inside your Alarm Lock™...

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 cir-
cuitry contained inside the lock itself.  The Lock Program is es-
sentially a computer database file that maintains feature set-
tings,...

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....

NOTE:  
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, a 25 pin to 9 pin adapter must be used.   
Warning:  Polarity MUST be observed when connecting cables to the lock.  The tab (-) must plug into the negative (black) hole.
