Programming instructions

ACCESS = Entry into a restricted area. 
AMBUSH = A special Code entered at the keypad when the User is 
forced to unlock a device. The device unlocks but sends a silent 
alarm with no indication at the keypad. Can be used to trip a re-
lay, to alert security, or trip a silent alarm on a Burglary Control 
Panel. 
AUDIT TRAIL = A date/time stamped log of previous lock events. 
BURGLARY CONTROL PANEL = Provides local alarm and remote 
communication to request security for burglary/break-in. A 
DL4500 relay output used for Ambush can provide a silent alarm 
and call-for-help. 
CLOCK 
• REAL TIME  CLOCK = An accurate built-in clock that allows date/
time stamping of events. The clock can be slowed or speeded up to 
fine tune long term accuracy to within three minutes per year. 
• CLOCK SETTINGS = Printout includes date, time, weekday, and 
clock speed. 
• CLOCK SPEED = The clock can be adjusted to allow faster/slower 
speeds and therefore increasing clock accuracy. 
CODE = Numeric sequence of numbers (such as: 1234) entered at 
the keypad. If Star-Enter-Key is required, must be followed by a 
[:] key. 
• AMBUSH CODE = See Ambush. 
• BASIC USER CODE = User Codes assigned to User Num-
bers 12+ (except Users 297-300). (Does not allow 
programming) 
• INSTALLER CODE = User Codes assigned to User Numbers 
2 and 3. (Allows all programming except Master functions). 
• INVALID CODE = A User Code that has not been 
programmed in the lock. 
• MANAGER CODE = User Codes assigned to User Numbers 4 
through 6. (Allows most of the programming functions). 
• MASTER CODE = User Code assigned to User Number 1.  
Default (factory) Master Code is 123456. The User with the 
Master Code has complete control of the lock. 
• PRINT ONLY USER CODE = User Code assigned to Users 
10 and 11. (Allows no programming except print functions). 
• QUICK ENABLE USER 300 CODE = Refers to the User Code 
entered by User 297 which (when entered at the keypad) en-
ables the User Code assigned to User 300 for one time only.  
• QUICK PC ACCESS CODE = Permits upload/download to 
DL-Windows Software on IBM/compatible computer running 
Microsoft Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0. Refers to the User Code 
for User 298. 
• SERVICE CODE = User 300 User Code. Allows only one 
entry, then needs to be re-enabled by the User 297 User Code 
to regain access. 
• SUPERVISOR CODE = User Codes assigned to Users 7, 8 
and 9. Can only program day-to-day operation. 
• USER CODE = Code used by Users. Code is 3 to 6 numeric 
digits long, allowing controlled entry. 
• VALID CODE = An entered User Code that has been 
programmed in the device. 
COM PORT = A computer serial communications port used to 
communicate with the Lock and/or Data Transfer Module. 
DATA TRANSFER MODULE = A device that permits transfer of 
program/data between a computer and the lock. 
DATE = Month, Day and Year entered as MMDDYY. 
DAY OF WEEK = Sunday through Saturday (where 1 = Sunday and 7 
= Saturday). 
DEFAULT = Default settings are the original settings that were set at 
the factory; in other words, it is the lock's original factory condition 
when the lock was first taken out of its box. The default settings 
are permanently encoded within the lock's fixed memory, and 
when the lock is first started, or when power is removed and re-
applied (see Wiring and Power-Up, page 11), the original factory 
default settings are re-loaded and take effect. 
DISABLE = Turn off. 
DOOR NUMBER = Identification of each door lock with a specific 
number in order to ensure that the correct lock is associated with 
the correct lock program within DL-Windows or the AL-DTM. 
  Note:  "Door Number" is a term used with AL-DTM versions 1 and 
2 and with DL-Windows versions 3.5.0 and earlier. Later versions 
of the AL-DTM and DL-Windows monitor door numbers automati-
cally, therefore there is no need to manually change door numbers 
via the keypad. Therefore, Function 59 is no longer used with the 
later versions of the AL-DTM and DL-Windows. See page 23, 
Function 59 for more information. 
DOWNLOAD = Send data to lock or AL-DTM. 
ENABLE = Turn on. 
EVENTS = Recorded lock activity. 
FUNCTION (also called Programming Functions) = are the numbers 
used to program lock features (enabling/disabling Users, User 
Groups, Passage Mode, Schedules, etc.). 
GROUP 
• USER GROUP = Defining a User to specific Groups, allows 
User entry when the Group is allowed entry. 
• GROUP 1 DISARMS BURGLAR CONTROL = A Group 1 
USER CODE entry can disarm an alarm panel during a 
predefined schedule. Should the Group 1 enter the lock 
outside of the scheduled time, the alarm will not disarm. The
