Data Transfer Module (AL-DTM) 
An AL-DTM can be used to transfer Lock Programs (and other data) between DL-Windows and up to 48 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).

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 known as 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 per-
form its various functions.  You can use the keypad to create a 
Lock Program stored within the lock.  You can also use DL-
Windows (defined below) to create a Lock Program on your com-
puter, and then transfer and store the Program in the circuitry con-
tained inside the lock itself.  The Lock Program is essentially a 
computer database file that maintains feature settings,...

also used.  They all mean the same thing.  Since User Numbers are fixed, knowing a User Number will spec-
ify 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 programming tasks. 
 Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are allowed to 
do anything the levels below them can do.  For example, if you 
are User 2, you are allowed to do anything that Users 3 through 
2000 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. 
Scenario 4   Use the AL-IR1 Infrared printer to print your lock’s audit trail (event log), User Code list, clock settings and software 
version.  No cable required.
