Initiates AL-DTM Communications (User 299) 
The AL-DTM is used to transfer Lock Programs (and other data) between DL-Windows and PL3000 locks.  When com-
puters cannot be transported or when electrical power is not available, the hand-held AL-DTM acts as a go-between--it 
allows the transfer of lock data from your PC (through the AL-DTM) to the lock, or in reverse (from the lock through the 
AL-DTM back to your PC).  Requires an AL-PCI2 cable when transferring from your PC to the AL-DTM.  A double-ended 
mini banana plug connector is used when transferring data from the AL-DTM to the PL3000 lock(s) (see page 4 for de-
tails). 
 Function Card #2 initiates communications.  Note:  Function Card #2 does not unlock the PL3000.   
 
Important:  All PL3000 locks arrive from the factory configured as Door #1.  If the PL3000 lock data inside the AL-DTM is 
associated with a door number OTHER than door number 1, you MUST select the door number in the AL-DTM before 
transferring data to the lock.  This will ensure that the proper data inside the AL-DTM will be matched to the correct lock.  
The procedure below describes this process:  Note:  The AL-DTM must be configured for Door Select Mode. 
 
SEND PROGRAM TO LOCK (THROUGH THE AL-DTM)  1.     Send Lock Program from DL-Windows to the AL-DTM, Send Program to Lock by connecting the AL-PCI2 
cable (or AL-PRE) to the AL-DTM. 
2.     Connect the AL-DTM to the Lock.  Connect the double-ended banana plug into the AL-DTM and into the lock 
that is to be programmed (observing proper tab direction). 
3.     Press the Green Button on the AL-DTM until the AL-DTM displays the following: 
 
 
 
 
4.     The AL-DTM will display the following:   
 
 
 
 
5.     Using the black keys, change the CURRENT DOOR value until the door number is reached.  If the door number 
is 8, the AL-DTM will display the following: 
 
 
 
 
6.     The AL-DTM will display the following:   
 
 
 
 
7.     Present Function Card #2 to the lock.  The AL-DTM will display the following: 
 
 
 
 
        Packet Numbers will go up until all packets have been transferred to the lock.  The Lock will continue to beep while in 
communication with the AL-DTM.   
8.     At the end of the transfer process, the PL3000 will sound a series of beeps.  You can disconnect the AL-PCI2 
cable.  The following will display: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
9.     Test New User Cards.  Verify that each new user Card allows access when presented to the lock.  Test each 
lock that has been programmed.  To receive information from the lock to the AL-DTM, see next page.

IMPORTANT NOTE:   
When programming is sent from DL-W indows (or an AL-DTM) to the lock, Function Cards 1, 2, 8, and 9 will be overwritten 
with the existing data in DL-Windows for the User Locations 298, 299, 297 and 300, respectively.  Therefore, to continue to 
use Function Cards 1, 2, 8 and 9 that were enrolled at startup with DL-Windows, be sure to enroll those same Function 
Cards 1, 2, 8 and 9 used at startup into the correct locations within DL-Windows.   
 
 
RECEIVE PROGRAM FROM THE LOCK TO THE AL-DTM  DL-Windows must be first used to instruct the AL-DTM to Receive Program From Lock via the DTM Support screen.  
This way, when the AL-DTM is connected to the PL3000 lock, the AL-DTM will perform the correct operation. 
 
1.     Connect the AL-DTM to the Lock.  Connect the double-ended banana plug into the AL-DTM and into the lock 
that is to be programmed (observing proper tab direction).

Waiting for Lock 
Power Up or Code 
SPECIAL NOTE:   
WHEN USING AN AL-DTM-III 
 
The procedure below is required only when a PC or DTM 
communication Function Card is not presently enrolled in 
the lock; i.e. the lock is new (out-of-box), or the lock has 
had all programming erased (restoring factory default). 
 
PC/DTM Communications 
With the development of the AL-DTM-III and the latest ver-
sions of DL-Windows, communications using the AL-DTM-
III requires the presentation of Function Card #2 twice.  
Therefore the AL-DTM 299 Function Card #2 must be 
enrolled into the lock prior to using the AL-DTM-III.  In ad-
dition, you can no longer use power up programming 
to establish communications with the AL-DTM-III.  
Procedure: 
All lock programming MUST be erased to restore the out 
of box factory default, as detailed in ERASE ALL PRO-
GRAMMING in the PL3000 programming instructions 
(WI1280).  After erasing all lock programming, the PL3000 
waits for a proximity card to be presented.  Therefore, pre-
sent a proximity card (to place the lock into learn mode), 
then immediately present the first two Function Cards 
(card #1 for initiating PC communications, card #2 for initi-
ating AL-DTM communications).  After cards #1 and 2 
have been presented and enrolled, wait for the lock to 
time-out and lock. 
 
Now the PL3000 can be programmed by the PC or the AL-
DTM-III.

Delays door entry after valid User code is entered.  Note:  For DL3500 
and PDL3000, valid entries are 0, 5, 15 & 45 seconds. 
A Group 2 User will put door into passage mode (lock is unlocked).  A 
Group 3 User will take door out of passage.  Caution!  The 
consequences of accidentally selecting this option can cause a 
security breach! 
A Group 2 User will toggle passage mode (lock is unlocked).  Caution!  
The consequences of accidentally selecting this option can cause 
a security breach! 
Daylight Saving Time configuration settings for DL3500 and PDL Series 
Locks.   
Disable Lock Sounder to enable silent operation. 
Door Number must be between 1– 96*. 
 
If the lock is a new lock without a designated door number, the door 
number specified in this field will be assigned to the programmed lock.  
If used with the AL-DTM Data Transfer Module, this is the Door Number 
the AL-DTM will use to identify itself to the lock, insuring that the proper 
data inside the AL-DTM2 will be matched to the correct lock.   
 *Only available numbers are listed.  AL-DTM only supports first 48 
locks.  See page 18 and 21 for more information.   
DL3000 Lock Only.  The lock will adjust for USA Daylight Saving Time 
in the spring and the autumn.   
The duration of time the lock refuses to recognize ANY User Codes 
after the maximum number of invalid entry attempts (with wrong User 
Code) has been reached (valid entries are 1-60 seconds). 
The duration in seconds that the lock will remain unlocked after a valid 
code has been entered (valid entries are 3, 10 & 15 seconds). 
The maximum number of invalid entry attempts (with wrong User Code) 
the lock will allow before it goes into lockout mode (where it will refuse 
to recognize ANY User Code entry).  The lock will shut down for the 
period programmed in the Lockout Time in Seconds field which 
follows.  Valid Attempt entries are 1-9. 
If checked, all codes entered must be followed by the a key.

Door Number.   
      The new LockID format was developed to increase the number of 
locks allowed per Account (now up to 2000 locks).  As a result of this 
increase, the ability to change the Door Number (now called LockID) 
at the lock keypad is no longer used.  DL-Windows (versions 3.5.3 
and greater) software must now be used to change the LockID.  
When DL-Windows version 3.5+ data is sent to the lock, this LockID 
is updated. 
       If you wish to receive data from the lock before data is sent, the new 
Update LockID option in DL-Windows version 3.5+ will change or 
update the LockID.  In addition, the current keypad Function 59 (in 
Programming Mode) is no longer allowed, and is consequently 
ignored by the DL-Windows software. 
 
LOCKOUT ATTEMPTS = A specified number of invalid User Code 
entries (1-9), that will disable the keypad for a predefined period of 
time (1-60 seconds). 
 
LOCKOUT TIME =  A predefined time (1-60) seconds that the lock will 
stop accepting User Codes, after a specified number of invalid User 
Code entries (1-9).
