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. 
Supported Products 
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).
