Lock Design Overview Why Use Software inside a Lock? With ordinary door locks, the need to make physical copies of metal keys and distributing them can be a huge organizational and financial task -- and what will you do if someone causes a security breach by losing their key? The answer lies in the advantage of SOFTWARE. Software (also called "firmware") is not "hard" or "fixed" like hardware is. Software is "soft" -- flexible and changeable to your needs.
Terminology Used in this Manual What is a Lock Program? (Also called Lock Programming). A Lock Program contains the instructions that a lock uses to perform its various functions. You can also use DL-Windows (defined below) to create a Lock Program on your computer, and then transfer and store the Program in the circuitry contained inside the lock itself. The Lock Program is essentially a computer database file that maintains feature settings, schedules, audit trails, etc.
Terminology Used in this Manual (cont'd) time and effort. In DL-Windows, Groups are controlled via schedules, and a typical example involves enabling or disabling a Group at a certain time. Note: Groups may only be added or changed via DL-Windows. DL-Windows is used, Function Cards 3-7 will most likely never be used. The advantage of the PL3500 lock is that it is designed to be flexible for any application.
Default User Numbers The table below displays a graphical representation of how the internal memory of the PL3500 /ETPL lock is organized. The default settings are the original settings that were set at the factory (the lock's original factory condition when the lock was first taken out of its box).
LED and Sounder Indicators The PL Series locks provide visual and audible feedback. With a fully charged battery, the LED and sounder feedback is as follows: ACTIVITY LED SOUNDER COMMENTS Access Granted or Remote Release 2 GREEN Flashes 2 Beeps Invalid Card 7 RED Flashes 7 Beeps Invalid Card = A card that does not exist in the Lock Program (memory). Valid but Disabled Card 1 GREEN, 4 RED Flashes 1 long, 5 short beeps Card exists in memory, but disabled.
Product Communication Examples Send to lock Receive from lock AL-PCI2 CABLE CONNECT TO SERIAL PORT (COM 1-4) NOTE: OBSERVE TAB DIRECTION WHEN INSERTING CABLE INTO LOCK IBM COMPATABLE LAPTOP OR DESKTOP PC PL3500 LOCK Scenario 1 Create the program in DL-Windows on your computer, then transfer the program from the computer directly to the lock via an AL-PCI2 cable. You must always use Function Card #1 to send or receive data Using DL-Windows.
Wiring and Power Up WIRING See the Installation Manual for more information. Batteries: Use only 1.5 volt Duracell Alkaline size-AA batteries. External Power: Red / Black wires - External 7.5 VDC Power Source must be used for operation without batteries. Remote Input: White / White wires - Wire a Normally Open Contact to wires (white and white). Momentarily close to allow PL3500/ETPL lock to unlock. NOTE: Remote Input is enabled from the factory.
Quick Start The following Quick Start guide outlines how to get your lock up and running quickly. Function Cards will be enrolled, therefore before starting, label the 9 proximity cards (provided) with the numbers 1 through 9, and have these labeled cards at hand before starting. If you do not wish to enroll Function Cards (and wish to only program your lock via DL-Windows or via an AL-DTM), proceed to First Time Start Up--Using DL-Windows Only (page 13). First Time Start Up--Using Function Cards 1.
Quick Start (cont’d) Delete ProxCards® When deleting enrolled proximity cards with Function Card #4, you must have possession of the card to be deleted. If you wish to delete cards that are NOT in your possession, you must do so either via DL-Windows or a pre-programmed AL-DTM module. WARNING: If using Function Cards only (without DL-Windows) the only way to delete a previously enrolled proximity card that is not in your possession is to clear all lock programming.
Function Cards--Overview Function Card Number 14 Description See Page Card #1 Initiates PC communications (User 298). 15 Card #2 Initiates AL-DTM communications (User 299). 16 Card #3 Initiates entry of new proximity cards starting at User 301 (and ending at User 2000). 18 Card #4 Initiates removal of next presented proximity card. 19 Card #5 Toggles Passage Mode (Door is unlocked---all Users are allowed free access through the door).
Function Card #1 Once Function Cards are enrolled during startup, they can quickly perform several functions when presented to the lock. The section below describes how each card is used to perform its specialized function. Function Card # 1 Initiates PC Communications (User 298) Function Card #1 is used to initiate PC communications from your PC and the PL3500 lock or from the PL3500 to your PC. Your PC should be running DL-Windows (version 3.0.
Function Card #2 Function Card # 2 Initiates AL-DTM Communications (User 299) The AL-DTM is used to transfer Lock Programs (and other data) between DL-Windows and PL3500 locks. When computers cannot be transported or when electrical power is not available, the hand-held AL-DTM acts as a go-between--it allows the transfer of lock data from your PC (through the AL-DTM) to the lock, or in reverse (from the lock through the AL-DTM back to your PC).
Function Card #2 (cont'd) IMPORTANT NOTE: When programming is sent from DL-Windows (or an AL-DTM) to the lock, Function Cards 1, 2, 8, and 9 will be overwritten with the existing data in DL-Windows for the User Locations 298, 299, 297 and 300, respectively. Therefore, to continue to use Function Cards 1, 2, 8 and 9 that were enrolled at startup with DL-Windows, be sure to enroll those same Function Cards 1, 2, 8 and 9 used at startup into the correct locations within DL-Windows.
Function Card #3 Function Card # 3 Initiates Entry Of New Proximity Cards Starting At User 301 Function Card #3 is used to initiate the entry of new proximity cards into the PL3500 lock. The first proximity card entered will be assigned to User Number 301; the second card will be assigned to User Number 302, and so on until all User Numbers are filled. If a User Number is already occupied with a proximity card, the occupied User Number will be skipped until the next higher unoccupied User Number is found.
Function Card #4 Function Card # 4 Initiates Removal Of Next Presented Proximity Card Function Card #4 is used to initiate the remove of previously entered proximity cards. Note: To use Function Card #4, you must be in physical possession of all previously entered proximity cards in order to remove them. If the enrolled card itself is not at hand, Use DL-Windows to remove the selected proximity cards without erasing all programming.
Function Card #5 Function Card # 5 Toggles Passage Mode (Door Is Unlocked) When Function Card #5 is presented, Passage Mode is enabled (PL3500 remains unlocked indefinitely). When Function Card #5 is re-presented, Passage Mode is disabled, and the PL3500 re-locks and resumes its normal operation. Enter Passage Mode as follows: • Present Function Card #5 to the lock. After unlocking, the green LED blinks twice, accompanied by a beep, and a delayed red LED flash.
Function Card #6 Function Card # 6 Initiates AL-IR1 Printing With Time, Date, Version Number and Audit Trail Log Function Card #6 is used to initiate the printing of the Audit Log by the AL-IR1 Wireless Printer. The time, date and version number will also be printed.
Function Card #7 Function Card # 7 Toggles Total User Lockout Mode Total User Lockout mode is useful for when absolute security is required. When Function Card #7 is presented, Total User Lockout mode is enabled. Total User Lockout disables all other enrolled cards and freezes the system state. For example, if the lock were in Passage Mode and Function Card #7 were presented, the lock would henceforth remain in Passage Mode ("unlocked"), with none of the other cards able to remove the lock from this state.
Function Card #8 Function Card # 8 Enables and Resets Function Card #9 (User 297) Function Card #8 (assigned to User 297) possesses the unique ability to enable Function Card #9 (assigned to User 300). When Function Card #8 is presented to the lock, User 300 is enabled, allowing Function Card #9 to unlock the PL3500 (for one time). Once used, Function Card #9 (User 300) becomes disabled. For example, you wish to allow one-time access to a temporary worker.
Function Card #9 Function Card # 9 The Service Card, Allowing Access One-Time-Only (User 300) Function Card #9 is also known as a "Service Card" because it is the card usually given to Service personnel (temporary workers who wish to be granted access only once). Function Card #9 is activated by the presentation of Function Card #8. See Function Card #8 on previous page. Function Card #8 (assigned to User 297) possesses the unique ability to enable Function Card #9 (assigned to User 300).
