Data Transfer Module (AL-DTM)
An AL-DTM is 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).
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-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.
AL-PCI Cable
An ALARM LOCK AL-PCI cable is required to communicate between your computer’s RS-232
serial communications 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 ba-
nana 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).
