UPGRADING THE AL-DTM-II TO VERSION III 
 
1. Open battery compartment and disconnect battery. 
2. Remove (4) Phillips head screws from back of case.  (Note:  The two longer 
screws secure the top of the unit and the two shorter screws secure the bottom. 
3. Remove rear cover.  Take care not to pull on the attached battery leads or lose 
the four (4) plastic spacers which are located on each corner of the circuit board.  
4. Locate Microprocessor IC5.  This is the only chip placed in a socket, and is the 
largest on the PC board (located near the center). 
5. Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver under each end of microprocessor and lift 
with a gentle twisting motion. 
 
 
6. With the new adapter board in hand, align the pins with the socket.  The JP2 
connector holes and resistor R1 should be on the left side of the board when 
aligning the pins with the socket (see figure below).  Press adapter board into 
the socket, taking care not to bend any interconnect pins.  Be sure all pins are 
fully inserted into the socket. 
 
 
 
7. Insure that each of the four (4) plastic spacers is in its proper position. 
8. Place rear cover on DTM. 
9. Secure cover with the (4) screws (the 2 longer screws secure the top of the unit 
and the 2 shorter ones secure the bottom). 
10. Re-connect battery and close the battery compartment. 
11. The software must now be configured for AL-DTM-III operation; follow the setup 
procedure on the next page. 
Upgrading DL-Windows software to version 3.5.3 or higher requires that the firmware in the AL-DTM-II module be 
upgraded to to version III firmware.  To upgrade your AL-DTM-II to version III, replace the microprocessor chip of the AL-
DTM-II with an upgrade chip (part number SE-DTMIII) as shown in the instructions below.   
The AL-DTM-III can hold up to 200 PDL3000 / PDL3500 type locks, or up to 1000 DL3000 / DL2800 type locks.  Note:  If 
you are unsure about the version of DL-Windows you are running, the version number can be found on the DL-Windows 
Help menu in the About screen.

							AL-DTM OVERVIEW 
Data Transfer Modules allow the transfer of lock pro-
grams and other data between DL-Windows software 
and Alarm Lock locking devices.  The improved DTM-III 
allows for more locks to be stored per account, both 
within DL-Windows and within the DTM-III itself.  These 
instructions will allow you to configure for the improved 
DTM-III operation.   
 
DTMs that start up with the message Alarm Lock 
DTM-II-III, V1.XX will operate in both the DTM-II 
and DTM-III modes.  Units configured to operate in 
DTM-III mode will display DTM-III when prompting us-
ers to enter lock mode.  The DTM-III mode is required 
for DL-Windows 3.5.3 operation, and likewise DL-
Windows 3.5.3 is required for use with DTM-III mode.  
Note:  If you are unsure about your version of DL-
Windows, version numbers can be found in the DL-
Windows Help, About screen.  Products shipped as 
DTM-III have been factory configured for DTM-III mode 
ON and Door Select Mode OFF.   
 
AL-DTM-III SETUP 
Configure the internal DTM software for DTM-III op-
eration: 
 
1.   From  the Power On or PC Comm. mode, press and 
HOLD both the left and green buttons on the DTM.  
After several messages appear, release the buttons 
when the display reads: 
 
 
 
 
2.  When the display reads CONFIG. LANGUAGE, the 
DTM has entered its configuration and self-test 
mode.   
3.  Press and release the green button once and the 
display will read CONFIG FOR DTM-III MODE.   
4.   Press  and HOLD the green button until the DTM 
beeps--release the button and the display reads: 
 
 
 
 
        The  top  line  of  the  display  indicates  that  DTM-III 
mode is currently off; the bottom line corresponds to 
the three buttons on the DTM. 
        Therefore,  to  activate  DTM-III  operation,  press  the 
left button.  The top line of the display will now read: 
 
 
 
 
(Note:  If using DL-Windows versions earlier than 
3.5.3, you must press the center button to keep 
DTM-III operation off--thus retaining DTM-II opera-
tion).    
5.  Press the green button to exit this sequence.  TASK 
ENDING! will appear briefly.  The DTM will proceed 
directly to Door Selection Mode as described in the 
next section. 
 
 
ENABLE DOOR SELECTION MODE 
Door Selection Mode is only needed if performing 
initial lock programming using DL-Windows 3.5.3.  
See the DL-Windows Users Guide OI237 for more 
information about Door Selection Mode.   
1. When configuring to allow Door Select Mode, the 
display will switch between the following: 
 
 
 
2.
       Press  and HOLD the green button until the DTM 
beeps--release the button and the DTM will display: 
 
 
 
 
       The top line of the display indicates that Door Select 
mode is currently off; the bottom line corresponds to 
the three buttons on the DTM. 
      Therefore, if using DL-Windows Version 3.5.3 or 
later and you wish to use the AL-DTM-III to provide 
initial programming to existing locks, press the left 
button (selecting ON) to enable DOOR SELECT 
Mode.  The top line of the display will now read: 
 
 
 
 
(Note:  You may press the center button to keep 
Door Select mode off, provided all system locks are 
already enrolled in the DL-Windows 3.5.3 program.  
See the DL-Windows User Guide for details regard-
ing Door Select mode).   
 
3. Press and release the green button (again and 
again) until the DTM Displays: 
 
 
 
 
4. Press and hold the green button until the DTM 
Beeps.  The DTM will perform a brief power control 
test (TEST RUNNING!) and then shut down within 5 
seconds.

							DOOR SELECTION OVERVIEW 
Door Numbers and Lock IDs  
Prior to DL-Windows v3.5.3, Door Numbers were 
used to ensure that each physical lock was correctly 
matched to its corresponding data when programmed.  
Door Numbers were programmable via the lock key-
pad via Function 59 (for locks without keypads, such 
as the PL3000, Door Numbers were selected either 
by a DL-Windows equipped PC or by the Door Select 
function of an AL-DTM-II.  See WI1280 for more infor-
mation). 
 
With DL-Windows v3.5.3 or later, the concept of a 
Door Number has been discontinued in favor of a new 
system of LockIDs.  With LockIDs, changing the Door 
Number at the keypad via Function 59 is ignored by 
DL-Windows, and the ONLY way to ensure the cor-
rect physical locks are properly matched to their cor-
responding data is to either: 
 
•use DL Windows v3.5.3 to program the locks, thus 
updating the locks with the new LockID system, 
 
     --or--  
•use an AL-DTM-III and its Door Select Mode to 
provide the full lock program (which includes the 
LockID).   
 
    Note:  The DTM displays the word Door and not 
LockID when referring to door numbers.  In the 
DTM, both words are equivalent.   
 
USING DOOR SELECT MODE 
To use an AL-DTM-III to program locks for the first 
time using Door Select Mode, proceed as follows: 
 
1. Power up the AL-DTM.  Upon pressing the green 
power-up button, the DTM displays several mes-
sages, including the DTM ID and version number, 
a memory test, and its total memory status.   
     Then  a  prompt  for  the Operation Mode will ap-
pear: 
 
 
 
 
     Press the left black button (below Select) to en-
able Door Select Mode in addition to the two 
other modes of operation (PC Comm Mode and 
Lock Mode).  The following screen appears, indi-
cating the DTM is now in PC Communication 
Mode: 
 
 
 
 
2. Download the lock data from the PC to the DTM (the PC must be running DL-Windows 3.5.3 or 
later).  This lock data will be the data intended to 
be sent to the locks.  Refer to the DL-Windows 
manual OI237 for the full procedure. 
 
3.  Press the green button until the display reads as 
follows: 
 
 
 
 
    Press the left button (below YES) to use the Door 
Select Mode.  A Test Running message may 
briefly appear (and re-appear) in the display. 
 
4.  The first of the available door numbers will appear 
(as shown in the sample screen below).  In the be-
low example, the current door number (also 
named LockID in DL-Windows) is 8.   
 
 
 
 
    Note:  If there are no available doors loaded in the 
DTM, the display will read CLR, as shown in the 
following screen: 
 
 
 
 
5.  Scroll through the available door numbers 
(previously downloaded in step 2) by pressing the 
BACK and NEXT buttons.   
 
6.  When the desired door number is in the display, (6 
in the example screen below) press the button be-
low SET to select.  The following will display. 
 
 
 
 
7.  Connect the DTM to the lock via the double-ended 
mini banana plug.  Press the left button (GO) and 
the following screen will display, prompting you to 
enter the Function 299 download code (or for PL 
keypadless locks, to present the Function 2 
card): 
 
 
 
 
    Enter the locks Function 299 code (or for PL  
locks, present the Function 2 card) to initiate the 
data transfer.  The DTM will perform a quick test 
of the lock as the following screens appear
