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:  The latest model, the AL-DTM-III, is supported in DL-Windows version 3.5.1 or 
later. 
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-W indows 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. 
DB9 to DB9 Serial Cable 
Enroll User Codes into DL-Windows, then transfer this new User Code data from the computer to the AL-
PRE via this 9-pin DB9 to DB9 serial cable.  Once the data is in the AL-PRE, you can transfer the data to 
the lock via the double-ended mini banana plug (see above), thus avoiding the need to use an AL-PCI 
cable for this process. 
AL-PCI Cable 
An ALARM LOCK AL-PCI cable is required to communicate between your computer’s RS-232 serial com-
munications 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 banana plug connector which is polarity sensitive-
-the TAB (marked “GND”) side must be plugged into the lock’s black (left) terminal. 
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 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 again) to suit your changing 
requirements.  Rather than copy and distribute metal keys, distribute User Codes -- and delete them from the Lock Program soft-
ware when required.  (A User Code is the software equivalent of a metal key--it is a series of numbers the User enters into the 
keypad to unlock the lock). 
 
Preparing to Program your Lock 
The DL2800 lock keypad contains 12 buttons, numbers 1 through 9 plus zero, a star button (:) and a special AL button 
(;).  You can either use these 12 buttons to program your lock--or--you can program your lock using a computer program 
called DL-Windows.  DL-Windows is not needed--but it makes programming faster and easier.  This guide will show you how to 
program your lock manually (using only the keypad), without DL-Windows.  (For more information about DL-Windows, see User 
Guide OI237). 
 
Programming your lock begins after you unpack it from the box -- there is a specific procedure outlined on page 6 (Quick Start) in 
which you wake up the lock to prepare it for use.  To begin programming the lock, you must first enter something called Program 
Mode.   
 
What is Program Mode? 
The software inside the lock has two modes:  Normal Mode and Program Mode.  When you want to make changes to the lock 
program  (add User Codes for example), enter Program Mode.  When you finish programming and wish to put the lock into use, 
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 and leave the factory with 
the same Master Code, the factory Master Code is therefore not very secret--and should be changed to your own personal Master 
Code.  This is to ensure that only YOU can enter Program Mode and make changes to the lock programming.   
 
Once the new Master Code is set , then you can continue with the Quick Start procedure and set the weekday, date and time.  Af-
ter 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.  There are 99 Func-
tions in total, some that you will use often, and others that 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 Number  (3) Press ; and enter data  (4) Press : to end  (5) Exit Program 
Mode.   
 
Turn to page 7 and learn about the special terminology used with your lock.  The Quick Start procedure (on page 6) will 
help you get up and running quickly.  
 
Lock Operation 
•While the lever may be rotated at any time, the latch will not be 
engaged to unlock the lock unless a valid User Code has been 
entered into the keypad. 
•When a valid User Code is entered, the lock will unlock imme-
diately and remain unlocked for 5 seconds (this 5 second 
Pass Time can be changed--see page 20, functions 51-53).  PC / AL-DTM Interface

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. 
 
Enter Program Mode and Change Factory Master Code 
1.   Press the default Master Code:  1 2 3 4 5 6.   
2.   Wait for the green light and press ; until multiple beeps are heard.  You are now in Program Mode. 
(Note:  The lock will beep every 6 seconds as a reminder that you are in Program Mode). 
3.   Enter a new personal 6-digit Master Code number by pressing the following keys:   
; 1 ;  [
new Master Code]  ;  [new Master Code]  : (the second set of digits must be exactly the same). 
(For example, if you want your new Master Code to be “664433”.  Press: 
; 1  ; 664433  ;  664433  :). 
 Now that the Master Code has been changed, there is no need to change it again (unless you want to).  Since you 
are still in Program Mode, you can now proceed directly below and program various functions.  Note:  Program-
ming any Function, such as setting the time, follows a consistent 5-step pattern:  (1) Enter Program Mode  (2) 
Press ; [Function #]  
(3) Press ; and enter data  (4) Press : to end  (5) Exit Program Mode (if desired). 
 
Set the Weekday 
1.   Enter Program Mode (if not in already). 
2.  Press ; 40 ;  [
number of weekday]  :.  (Use 1= Sunday, 7 = Saturday). 
      (For example - Friday - press ; 40  ; 6  :). 
 
Set the Date 
1.   Enter Program Mode (if not in already). 
2.  Press ; 38 ;  [
MMDDYY]  :.   
      (For example - May 10, 2002 - press ; 38  ; 051002 :). 
 
Set the Time 
1.   Enter Program Mode (if not in already.  If you just finished the above procedure, you are still in Program Mode). 
2.   Press ; 39 ;  [
HHMM]  :.  (Use 24-hour military (HHMM) format, where PM adds 12 hours).   
      (For example - 2:30pm - press ; 39  ; 1430 :). 
 
Enter User Codes 
1.   Enter Program Mode (if not in already). 
2.  Press ; 2 ;  [
User Number]  ;  [User Code]  :. 
      (For example, John Smith is designated as User 21.  You want him to use the User Code of “232323” to unlock the 
lock.  Program the lock by pressing:  ; 2  ; 21  ; 232323  :). 
3.   Repeat step 2 for each new User. 
 
Exit Program Mode 
Hold Down any key for 3 seconds.  Program Mode exit is confirmed by several beeps.  You are now in normal operation. 
 
Re-enter Program Mode 
If you wish to re-enter Program Mode, key-in your new 6-digit Master Code, and press ;. 
 
You are now ready to mount and install your DL2800 series lock and give out your User Codes.  Before installation, it is sug-
gested you test and verify that all User Codes entered are active.  Use the IR1 infrared printer (available separately) to print your 
own audit logs and User Codes list.

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 defined below:   
 
User Codes 
Also called User Access Codes, Passcode numbers or PIN 
Number Codes, a User Code is a 3 to 6 digit number the User 
enters into the keypad (using the keypad buttons) to unlock the 
lock.  The DL2800 can store hundreds of different User Codes 
in its Lock Program, and the Lock Program is stored in the lock 
circuitry awaiting the Users to key in their individual User 
Codes.  Each User Code is associated with a User Number, 
defined below. 
 
The User 
A User is defined as a person who is authorized to operate or 
perform programming changes to the Lock Program.  The 
DL2800 lock can hold hundreds of Users (in the form of User 
Codes) in its Lock Program, 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 Program.  Some 
Users may be able to unlock the lock only; others may also be 
able to make changes to the Lock Program.   
 
User Numbers 
(User Number = Location Number = User Location = Slot) 
User Numbers are used and are significant within each individ-
ual lock only.  The DL2800 Series locks can hold up to 200 
User Numbers in its Lock Program, which can be thought of as 
simply a numbered list from 1 through 200 (with number 1 at 
the top).  Each User Number can be programmed with a User 
Code.  In addition, each User Number possesses a pre-defined 
level of authority--a Programming Level--as to the Users abil-
ity make changes to the Lock Program.  Where a User is lo-
cated in this list--their User Location--is a commonly used de-
scription of their User Number.  Because of their similarities, 
the terms 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 the location of a User 
Number will specify its associated Programming Level, and will 
in turn indicate a User’s programming abilities (if any).  For ex-
ample, User Number 1 is always the Master, who can perform 
all programming tasks.  Lower down the list, User Number 189 
is a Basic User and although this User is assigned a User Code 
to unlock the lock, because they are a Basic User they are 
unable to perform any programming changes.   
 
Programming Functions 
Your lock is designed to support many different features that 
can be programmed to suit each installation.  Using the keypad 
(or DL-Windows software), authorized Users can activate these 
features and make other changes to the Lock Program.  Each 
of these features is called a Programming Function.  In addi-
tion, each Function possesses its own pre-defined Program-ming Level to access that Function.  Each User must possess 
a Programming Level EQUAL to the Programming Level 
assigned to the Function in order to access that Function.  
When programming via the keypad, see page 13 for a list of all 
Functions 1 through 99.  For example, you can enable Daylight 
Saving Time via Function number 41.  Each Programming 
Function is described on pages 14-26.   
 
Programming Levels 
The Programming Level defines which Programming Functions 
a User is allowed to perform.  Each User Number is associated 
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.   
 Programming Levels can have a value of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 
M.  Note:  Having a Programming Level of 3 does not allow 
access to Functions with Programming Levels of 1, 2 or 4. 
 The following defaults apply when adding User Codes via Pro-
gramming Function 2: 
 Master:  The highest level User, and always associated with 
User Number 1 and its Master Code only.  Master is always 
enabled and can program ALL Functions.  (Abbreviated as 
the Programming Level = M). 
Manager:  Always associated with User Numbers 2-6.  Can 
program all Functions except Functions relating to lock con-
figuration.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 1, 2 or 
3). 
Supervisor:  Always associated with User Numbers 7-11.  Can 
only program Functions relating to certain day to day opera-
tions.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 1 or 2). 
Basic Users:  Always associated with User Numbers 12 
through 200.  W hen adding User Codes for Basic Users via 
Programming Function 2, Programming Levels are not as-
signed by default.  Note:  Programming Levels for Users 2-
200 can be assigned via Function 8.  For Users 299 and 
300, see below for entries. 
 See chart on page 9 for a summary. 
 
Groups 
It is convenient for large numbers of similar Users to be 
grouped together.  By placing Users into Groups (assigning 
them to a specific range of User Numbers), large numbers of 
Users can be controlled all at once rather than individually--
saving time and effort.  Groups are controlled via schedules, 
and a typical example involves enabling or disabling a Group at 
a certain time.  The DL2800 lock has factory-programmed De-
fault Group Associations that are specified in the table on page 
9.  For example, if you wish to add a User to Group 1, assign 
this User to a User Number between 51 and 100.  These De-
fault Group Associations can be changed if needed to allow 
Groups larger than the default quantity of 50 (by using keypad 
Function 35).  (See page 25 for some Group function exam-
ples). 
 
  
						

							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 
business hours.  With another example, you can program the 
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 your installation.  First you create TimeZones (see 
above), then create events and link them to your TimeZones.  
 
 
Users 299 & 300 
User Codes added to locations 299 and 300 have special abili-
ties, as follows: 
 User 299:  AL-DTM Code 
This is the only User Code that will initiate data transfer with 
the AL-DTM--and without allowing the lock to unlock (the User 
Code for User Number 299 does NOT allow access).  An AL-
PCI cable and an AL-DTM (pre-programmed by a computer 
with DL-Windows) are required. 
 User 300:  One-Time Only Service Code 
This is a one-time-only service User Code designed to be 
used for access by temporary workers.  When enabled, enter-
ing User Code 300 into the keypad will allow the DL2800 lock 
to unlock only once (re-entering User Code 300 will not oper-
ate).  User Number 300 is enabled by Function 9.  (Note:  
Function 9 can only be enabled by Users with a Program Au-
thority Level of 2).   
 User Code 300 can also be used for guard tour duties. 
 
DL-Windows 
DL-Windows is a computer program that allows you to program 
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, add multiple Users, retrieve event logs, 
and create Schedules.  The benefit of DL-W indows is that it 
allows you to set up all lock programming in advance (on your 
computer), and then later transfer the information into the in-
stalled locks at your convenience.

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

access to Functions with Programming Levels of 1, 2 or 4. 
 The following defaults apply when adding User Codes via Pro-
gramming Function 2: 
 Master:  The highest level User, and always associated with 
User Number 1 and its Master Code only.  Master is al-

BATTERY REPLACEMENT 
•When applying power to the lock for the first time, 
stop here and follow the procedure outlined in QUICK 
START on page 6. 
         You will know the batteries are weak when a valid 
code is entered and the following occurs:  the light 
amber LED lights and the sounder sounds for 4 sec-
onds.  The DL2800 lock uses five (5) AA-size 1.5 volt 
alkaline batteries.  Always replace weak batteries as 
soon as possible. 
          CAUTION:  Do not press any keys while batteries are 
disconnected or you may erase the real-time clock 
settings.  Pressing any key will remove the voltage that 
is required to keep the system clock and Audit Trail in 
memory. 
 
1. At the back of the lock, remove the screw at the bottom 
of the lock housing and remove the cover.   
2. Pull out the battery pack and quickly replace all 5 bat-
teries - within 2 minutes. 
3. If you do not hear the 3 beeps when power is re-
applied, all programming and settings have been re-
tained, and the lock is ready for use.  Go to step 5. 
4. If you do hear 3 beeps when power is re-applied, do 
not press any keys for 15 seconds.  After the 15 sec-
ond period, the LED will flash red 6 times and 6 beeps 
will sound.  Reset the clock using functions 38, 39 and 
40.   
5. Replace the cover and tighten the screw.
