Programming instructions
35 
ACCESS = Entry into a restricted area. 
AUDIT TRAIL = A date/time stamped log of previous lock events. 
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. 
• 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) 
enables the User Code assigned to User 300 for one time 
only.  
• QUICK PC ACCESS CODE = Permits upload/download to 
DL-Windows Software on a PC running Microsoft Windows.  
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 (AL-DTM) = 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 con-
dition when the lock was first taken out of its box. The default 
settings are permanently encoded within the lock's fixed mem-
ory, 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 with a specific 
number. (Used with AL-DTM Transfer Module) 
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 ENABLES GROUP 4 USERS = A Group 1 USER 
CODE entry during a predefined schedule will allow access 
to Group 4 Users. 
• GROUP 1 PUTS UNIT IN PASSAGE = A Group 1 USER 
CODE entry during a pre-defined schedule will unlock unit. 
INSTALLER = See.... CODE, INSTALLER CODE. 
KEYPAD = 10-numeric keys, : and special ; key. 
• KEYPAD LOCKOUT = Keypad is programmed to lockout Us-
ers, for a specified period of time, when a specified number 
of invalid User Codes are entered. 
• KEYPAD PROGRAMMING = Ability to program the lock 
through the keypad. 
KEYPRESS = Pressing a button on the Lock’s Keypad. 
LEVEL ABILITY = Predefined User Types (such as Master, 
Installer, Manager, Supervisor, and Print Only User) have 
specific abilities to program and/or control the lock. 
LOCKOUT ATTEMPTS = A specified number of invalid User Code 
entries (1-9), that will disable the keypad for a predefined period 
of time. See… LOCKOUT TIME. 
LOCKOUT TIME = A predefined time (1-60) seconds that the lock 
will stop accepting User Codes, after a specified number of 
invalid User Code entries. See… LOCKOUT ATTEMPTS. 
LOG = See... AUDIT TRAIL. 
MANAGER = See... CODE, MANAGER CODE. 
MASTER = See... CODE, MASTER CODE. 
PASSAGE = Allow anyone to pass through the door without USER 
CODES (door is unlocked). 
PRINTER (AL-IR1) = A printout device such as an infrared printer or 
computer printer. 
PROGRAM MODE = A mode allowing program/data to be entered 
through the keypad. Only specific Users can program a lock 
manually, by entering their USER CODE, followed by the [;] 
key. To exit program mode, hold any key until repeated beeps 
are heard. 
SCHEDULE = A programmed operation (enable/disable, lock/
unlock, etc.) on a specific day (Sunday through Saturday) and 
time. 
SCHEDULES, QUICK = Any one of four most common types of 
schedules can be programmed. 
TIME = Hours and Minutes in the HHMM format. 
TIME/DATE STAMP = A recorded date and time that an event 
occurred. 
TIMEOUT = Immediate operation for a specified number of hours. 
UPLOAD = Receive data from the lock or AL-DTM. 
USER  = A person who has been provided with a USER CODE for 
access through the door. 
USER LOCKOUT, TOTAL = All Users (except for Master Code) 
have been locked out.
