Data Transfer Module (AL-DTM)
An AL-DTM 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-DTM) and to the lock, or in
reverse (from the lock through the AL-DTM back to the computer). The AL-DTM can only be used on the
Primary Lock Side where the standard red and black communication port is located. Note: Only 5000 of
the most recent events are transferred using the AL-DTM.
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. The AL-IR1 printer can only be used on the
Primary Lock Side where the infrared transmitter LED is located.
Prox Card Reader/Enroller (AL-PRE)
An AL-PRE is used to quickly enroll multiple ProxCards
®
and ProxKey
®
keyfobs into DL-Windows without the
need to manually type User Codes. Use the supplied 9-pin DB9 to DB9 serial cable to connect the AL-PRE to
your computer’s serial COM port. Compatible with most HID ProxCards
®
and ProxKey
®
keyfobs (37 bits or
less). For PDL series locks only.

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 this double-ended mini banana plug. The 2-pin
banana plug connector is polarity sensitive. The TAB (marked “GND”) side must be plugged into the
lock’s black (left) terminal (located on the Primary Lock Side).
DB9 to DB9 Serial Cable
Enroll ProxCards quickly into DL-Windows, then transfer this new ProxCard
®
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 (located on the Primary
Lock Side).
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 MX1130 for the USB to RS-232 cable only, or ALPCI2-U
for both the USB to RS-232 cable and an AL-PCI2 cable.
