THE ALARM LOCK TRILOGY DL-SERIES STAND-ALONE ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM IS A SERIES OF STATE-OF-
THE-ART MICROPROCESSOR-BASED PROGRAMMABLE KEYPAD-ENTRY SECURITY LOCKS. 
DL4100 & DL4500 
Features a real-time clock/calendar that automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time and 
allows for automated programming of events.  Features three methods of programming:  (1) 
all features can be programmed manually through the keypad; (2) you can transfer program-
ming instructions directly from your laptop or desktop PC using DL Windows software and a 
special AL-PCI cable; and (3) data can be transferred from your PC to your DL lock via the 
AL DTM2 handheld Data Transfer Module.  In addition, data can be retrieved from the lock in 
one of three ways (1) through an infrared printer; (2) directly from the lock to the PC; or (3) 
through an AL-DTM2 to your PC.   
 
The DL Series locks include several lock types:  but this manual will focus on two:  the 
DL4100 and DL4500.  The DL4100 is a cylindrical lock, and the DL4500 is a mortise-based 
lock, for extra security.  Both locks allow use of Residency and Privacy features, and can 
be programmed either way to suit the installation requirements.  The Residency feature is 
specially designed to prevent unintentional lock-out (typically used in retirement homes and 
college dormitories), and the Privacy feature is designed to deny access to other users af-
ter an individual enters (typically used for rooms needing privacy from others such as bath-
rooms, dorms and meeting rooms).  Out of the box (or re-started in order to load the factory 
default settings), the DL4100 defaults to Privacy and the DL4500 defaults to Residency.

Data Transfer Module (AL-DTM) 
An 
AL-DT M 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).   
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. 
AL-DTM2 - Data Transfer Module 
The enhanced 
AL-DTM2 provides the same functions as the 
AL-DTM but the 
AL-DTM2 may be used to 
transfer program data between a PC running DL-Windows software and up to 96 locks.  
 
Double-ended Mini Banana Plug Connector 
After you create the program in DL-Windows 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.

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 is.  Software is 
soft -- flexible and changeable to your needs.  Software exists inside your Alarm Lock™ series lock, and can be programmed (and re-
programmed again and again) to suit your changing requirements.  No more metal keys to distribute...instead, distribute User Codes -- 
and delete them from the software when needed.  (A User Code is the software equivalent of a metal key--it is a series of numbers the 
User enters into the door lock keypad to unlock the lock). 
 
Preparing to Program your Lock 
At first glance, your new DL series lock may look complicated, but it is in fact designed in a very straightforward way.  The keypad 
contains 12 buttons, numbers 1 through 9 plus zero, a star button (
:) and a special AL button (
;).  These 12 buttons are all 
you need to program your lock.  In addition to manually programming your lock (using only the keypad), you can also 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 using only the keypad (manually), 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 in Quick Start (page 12) 
in which you wake up the lock to prepare it for programming.  This Quick Start procedure shows you all the steps required to 
get your lock to start working.  To begin programming, you must first enter something called Program Mode.   
 
What is Program Mode? 
Most technical people find working with hardware easy--they use tools to make fixes or changes to hardware.  But with the soft-
ware inside the lock, you enact changes (you interface) through the keypad.  The software has only two modes--Normal Mode 
and Program Mode.  When you want to make changes to the lock program, you enter Program Mode.  When you finish pro-
gramming and wish to put the lock into use, you 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 way, 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.  Note:  To prevent possible date and time change-
over issues, avoid entering program mode at or near midnight. 
 
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 #  (3) Press ; and enter data  (4) Press : to end  (5) Exit Program Mode.   
 
Turn the page and learn about the special terminology used with your lock.  Once that is clear, use the Quick Start proce-
dure on page 12 to help you get up and running.

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, schedules, 
audit trails, etc.  Using DL Windows, Lock Programs can be cre-
ated with default information, edited on your PC, and then sent to 
(and even received from) locks.   
 The Lock Program consists of 4 areas:  User Codes, Features, 
Time Zones, and Schedules, all defined below:   
 
What are User Codes? 
Also called User Access Codes or PIN No. Codes, User Codes 
are numbers the User enters into the lock keypad to unlock the 
lock.  The User Codes are part of the Lock Program, and the Lock 
Program is stored in the lock circuitry awaiting the Users to key in 
their User Codes.   
 
What are Features? 
Your lock is designed to support several options and functions.  
Using the keypad or DL-Windows software (the 
Programmable 
Features window), you can select the features you wish to acti-
vate, such as if the lock will automatically adjust for Daylight Sav-
ing Time in the spring and autumn, or if the lock sounder should be 
disabled or enabled. 
 
What is a TimeZone? 
Events (recorded lock activities) can be programmed to occur at 
certain times.  It is these times (for example, “every Tuesday at 
5PM”) that are referred to as TimeZones.  In DL-Windows, you can 
use the 
Schedule-TimeZone screen to create these TimeZones, 
and once created, you can link events to these TimeZones. 
 
What is a Schedule? 
Your lock can be programmed to maintain a schedule in which 
certain events can occur automatically.  For example, you can pro-
gram the lock to allow Groups of Users (with their User Codes) 
access ONLY during specific business hours.  With another exam-
ple, you can program another 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 Sched-
ules can be created to suit the needs of the Users.  First you cre-
ate TimeZones (see above).  Next you create events and link them 
to your TimeZones (also using the Schedule-TimeZone screen in 
DL-Windows).  When finished, you can view (in DL-W indows) your 
schedule in the Schedule View screen.
 
 
What is a User? 
A User is a person who is authorized to simply use or make certain 
programming changes to the lock.  This User can be anyone--from 
a one-time visitor (who will almost certainly have no authority to 
make changes) to the owner of the building in which the lock is 
installed (who will probably wish to have total authority to make 
changes).  The DL Series locks can hold hundreds of Users in its 
programming memory, 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.   
 
 
What is a Programming Level? 
The Programming Level defines the range of programming tasks a 
User is allowed to perform.  The higher the Level, the more pro-
gramming tasks the User is allowed (with Master allowing ALL 
tasks).   
 Note:  Since the Programming Level is closely associated with the 
type of User and their abilities, a User who holds a certain Pro-
gramming Level is sometimes referred to by their “User Type”. 
 For example, DL4500 Series locks can hold up to 2000 Users in its 
programming memory, and each User is associated with a User 
Number (see definition of User Number below) and therefore a 
specific Programming Level, as follows: 
 Master:  Always associated with User Number 1.  Is always en-
abled and can program all functions.  (Abbreviated as 
Programming Level = M). 
Installer:  Always associated with User Numbers 2 and 3.  Can 
program all functions except changing the Master Code.  
(Abbreviated as Programming Level = 4).
 
Manager:  Always associated with User Numbers 4, 5, and 6.  
Can program all functions except functions relating to lock 
configuration.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 3). 
Supervisor:  Always associated with User Numbers 7, 8 and 9.  
Can only program functions relating to day to day operation.  
(Abbreviated as Programming Level = 2). 
Print Only Users:  Always associated with User Numbers 10 & 
11.  Restricted to print event logs only.  No other programming 
ability allowed.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 1).
 
Basic Users:  Always associated with User Number 12 and higher 
(except 297-300).  No programming ability allowed.  Most 
Users are Basic Users, who are given their own personal User 
Codes and are only allowed to simply unlock the lock when 
desired.   
 
Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are allowed to 
do anything the levels below them can do.  For example, if you are 
a Manager, you are allowed to do anything that Supervisors, Print-
Only Users and Basic Users can do in addition to those tasks al-
lowed for Managers (Level 3).  See page 8 for more information. 
 
What is the Minimum Required Program Level? 
This Programming Level abbreviation is the minimum program-
ming level required to access the particular Function.  (The higher 
the level number, the more programming tasks the User is al-
lowed, with Master allowing all tasks). 
 
In this manual, Programming Levels for the DL series locks are 
abbreviated as follows:  
M = Master, 
4 = Installer, 
3 = Manager, 
2 
= Supervisor, 1 = Print Only Users.  See page 8 for more informa-
tion. 
 
What is a User Number? 
(User Number = Location Number = User Location = Slot in Lock) 
User Numbers are used and are significant within each individual 
lock only.  The User Number determines the Programming Level 
for each User.  For example, DL4500 Series locks can hold up to 
2000 Users in its programming memory.  This memory can be 
thought of as simply a numbered list from 1 through 2000.  Each 
entry in the list is represented by a User Number.  Therefore, 
where a User is located in this list--their User Location--is a com-
monly used description of their User Number.  Because of their 
similarities, a User Number, User Location and Location Number 
can be used interchangeably.  In some DL-Windows screens, the  
						

							7 
word Slot is 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 
11 can do.  See the table on page 8 for more information. 
 
What is a Group? 
With many lock applications, it is convenient for large numbers of 
similar Users to be grouped together.  Placing Users into Groups 
(by assigning them specific User Numbers) allows large numbers 
of Users to 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 cer-
tain time.  Default Group associations are specified in the tables 
on page 8.  For example, if you wish to add a User to Group 1, 
assign this User a User Number between 51 and 100.  These 
default Group associations can be changed if needed to allow 
Groups larger than the default number of 50 (by using keypad 
Function 35).  (See page 18 for some Group function examples). 
 
Who are Users 297-300? 
Users assigned to User Numbers 297, 298, 299 and 300 have 
special abilities, as follows: 
 User 297:  Quick Enable User 300 
User 297 possesses the unique ability to enable the User Code 
associated with User 300.  User 297 does this by first entering 
their own User 297 User Code into the lock keypad.  When User 
300 subsequently enters their User 300 User Code, the lock al-
lows access (for one time) and then the User 300 User Code 
becomes disabled. 
 For example, you wish to allow one-time access to a temporary 
worker.  Simply enter the User 297 User Code into the lock key-
pad.  Later, when the temporary worker enters the User 300 
User Code into the lock keypad, the User 300 User Code allows 
access (for one time only) and then becomes disabled.  Later, if 
you wish to grant the temporary worker re-access, simply re-
enter the User 297 User Code and the User 300 User Code will 
be re-enabled (again for one time only).   
 
User 298:  Quick PC Access Code 
Entering the User Code for User 298 enables that User to send 
data to or from the lock.  Therefore, User 298 can activate what 
is the equivalent of Function 58 in Program Mode (see page 22), 
without the need to enter Program Mode nor the need to know 
the Master Code of the lock.  An AL-PCI cable with a PC is re-
quired.  
NOTE:  The User Code for User 298 is not an Access 
Code. 
 
User 299:  AL-DTM Code
 
This is the only User Code that will initiate data transfer with the AL-DTM--and without allowing the User to pass through the door 
(the User Code for User 299 is not an Access Code).  An AL-
PCI cable and an AL-DTM (first programmed by the computer 
via the DTM or DTM2 screen in DL-Windows) is required. 
 
User 300:  Temporary Access Service Code (One-Time Only) 
Temporary access User Code enabled by User 297.  For exam-
ple, User Code 300 is sometimes used for guard tour duties.  
See User 297:  Quick Enable User 300 above.   
 
What is DL-Windows? 
DL-Windows is a computer program that allows you to program 
your ALARM LOCK T3 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 (programs that make the lock perform its many func-
tions) add multiple Users (who have access), retrieve event logs, 
and create Schedules.  The benefit of DL-Windows is that it allows 
you to set up all lock programming in advance (on your computer), 
and then later send the information to the locks at your conven-
ience.

NOTES:  
The Programming Level defines the range of programming tasks 
a User is allowed to perform.  The higher the Level, the more pro-
gramming tasks the User is allowed (with Master allowing ALL 
tasks).   
 Note:  Since the Programming Level is closely associated with 
the type of User and their abilities, a User who holds a certain 
Programming Level is sometimes referred to by their “
User 
Type”. 
 For example, DL Series locks can hold hundreds of Users in its 
programming memory, and each User is associated with a User 
Number (see definition of User Number in the previous 
Terminology section) and therefore a specific Programming 
Level, as follows: 
 Master:  Always associated with User number 1.  Is always en-
abled and can program all functions.  (Abbreviated as 
Programming Level = M). 
Installer:  Always associated with Users 2 and 3.  Can program 
all functions except changing the Master Code.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 4).
 
Manager:  Always associated with Users 4, 5, and 6.  Can pro-
gram all functions except functions relating to lock 
configuration.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 3). 
Supervisor:  Always associated with Users 7, 8 and 9.  Can only 
program functions relating to day to day operation.  
(Abbreviated as Programming Level = 2). 
Print Only Users:  Always associated with Users 10 & 11.  
Restricted to print audit trails only.  No other programming 
ability allowed.  (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 1).
 
Basic Users:  Always associated with User number 12 and 
higher (except 297-300).  No programming ability allowed. 
 
Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are allowed to 
do anything the levels below them can do.  For example, if you 
are a Manager, you are allowed to do anything that Supervisors, 
Print-Only Users and Basic Users can do in addition to those 
tasks allowed for Managers (Level 3).

Scenario 2
   Create the program in DL-Windows and transfer the program from your computer to an AL-DTM (via an AL-PCI cable)…
then transfer the program from the AL-DTM to the lock(s) (via a double-ended mini banana plug).  The hand-held AL-DTM is useful 
because you do not have to transport (or find electricity for) your computer.  Data can also flow in reverse, from the lock, through 
the AL-DTM, back to the computer for examination.
