AL-DTM-III SETUP
Configure the internal DTM software for DTM-III op-
eration:
1. From the Power On or PC Comm. mode, press and
HOLD both the left and green buttons on the DTM.
After several messages appear, release the buttons
when the display reads:
2. When the display reads "CONFIG. LANGUAGE", the
DTM has entered its configuration and self-test
mode.
3. Press and release the green button once and the dis-
play will read "CONFIG FOR DTM-III MODE".
4. Press and HOLD the green button until the DTM
beeps--release the button and the display reads:
The top line of the display indicates that DTM-III
mode is currently off; the bottom line corresponds to
the three buttons on the DTM.
Therefore, to activate DTM-III operation, press the
left button. The top line of the display will now read:
(Note: If using DL-Windows versions earlier than
3.5.3, you must press the center button to keep
DTM-III operation off--thus retaining DTM-II opera-
tion).
5. Press the green button to exit this sequence. "TASK
ENDING!" will appear briefly. The DTM will proceed
directly to "Door Selection Mode" as described in the
next section.
ENABLE DOOR SELECTION MODE
Door Selection Mode is only needed if performing
initial lock programming using DL-Windows 3.5.3.
See the DL-Windows User's Guide OI237 for more
information about Door Selection Mode.
1. When configuring to allow Door Select Mode, the dis-
play will switch between the following:
2. Press and HOLD the green button until the DTM
beeps--release the button and the DTM will display:
The top line of the display indicates that Door Select
mode is currently off; the bottom line corresponds to
the three buttons on the DTM.
Therefore, if using DL-Windows Version 3.5.3 or later
and you wish to use the AL-DTM-III to provide initial
programming to existing locks, press the left button
(selecting "ON") to enable DOOR SELECT Mode.
The top line of the display will
now read:
(Note: You may press the
center button to keep Door Select mode off, provided
all system locks are already enrolled in the DL-
Windows 3.5.3 program. See the DL-Windows User
Guide for details regarding Door Select mode).
3. Press and release the green button (again and
again) until the DTM Displays:
4. Press and hold the green button until the DTM
Beeps. The DTM will perform a brief power control
test (TEST RUNNING!) and then shut down within 5
seconds.
Release the
buttons when
displayed
Data Transfer Modules allow the transfer of lock programs and other data between DL-Windows software and Alarm Lock locking de-
vices. The improved DTM-III allows for more locks to be stored per account, both within DL-Windows and within the DTM-III itself. These
instructions will allow you to configure for the improved DTM-III operation.
DTM's that start up with the message "Alarm Lock DTM-II-III, V1.XX" will operate in both the DTM-II and DTM-III modes. Units
configured to operate in DTM-III mode will display "DTM-III" when prompting users to enter Lock Mode. The DTM-III mode is required for
DL-Windows 3.5.3 operation, and likewise DL-Windows 3.5.3 is required for use with DTM-III mode. Note: If you are unsure about your
version of DL-Windows, version numbers can be found in the DL-Windows Help, About screen. Products shipped as DTM-III have been
factory configured for DTM-III mode ON and Door Select Mode OFF.

DOOR SELECTION OVERVIEW
Door Numbers and Lock ID's
Prior to DL-Windows v3.5.3, Door Numbers were
used to ensure that each physical lock was correctly
matched to its corresponding data when programmed.
Door Numbers were programmable via the lock key-
pad via Function 59 (for locks without keypads, such
as the PL3000, Door Numbers were selected either
by a DL-Windows equipped PC or by the Door Select
function of an AL-DTM-II. See WI1280 for more infor-
mation).
With DL-Windows v3.5.3 or later, the concept of a
Door Number has been discontinued in favor of a new
system of LockID's. With LockID's, changing the Door
Number at the keypad via Function 59 is ignored by
DL-Windows, and the ONLY way to ensure the cor-
rect physical locks are properly matched to their cor-
responding data is to either:
•use DL Windows v3.5.3 to program the locks, thus
updating the locks with the new "LockID" system,
--or--
•use an AL-DTM-III and its Door Select Mode to
provide the full lock program (which includes the
LockID).
Note: The DTM displays the word "Door" and not
"LockID" when referring to door numbers. In the
DTM, both words are equivalent.
USING DOOR SELECT MODE
To use an AL-DTM-III to program locks for the first
time using Door Select Mode, proceed as follows:
1. Power up the AL-DTM. Upon pressing the green
power-up button, the DTM displays several mes-
sages, including the DTM ID and version number,
a memory test, and its total memory status.
Then a prompt for the Operation Mode will ap-
pear:
Press the left black button (below Select) to en-
able Door Select Mode in addition to the two
other modes of operation (PC Comm Mode and
Lock Mode). The following screen appears, indi-
cating the DTM is now in PC Communication
Mode:
2. Download the lock data from the PC to the DTM
(the PC must be running DL-Windows 3.5.3 or
later). This lock data will be the data intended to
be sent to the locks. Refer to the DL-Windows
manual OI237 for the full procedure.
3. Press the green button until the display reads as
follows:
Press the left button (below YES) to use the Door
Select Mode. A "Test Running" message may
briefly appear (and re-appear) in the display.
4. The first of the available door numbers will appear
(as shown in the sample screen below). In the be-
low example, the current door number (also
named LockID in DL-Windows) is "8".
Note: If there are no available doors loaded in the
DTM, the display will read "CLR", as shown in the
following screen:
5. Scroll through the available door numbers
(previously downloaded in step 2) by pressing the
BACK and NEXT buttons.
6. When the desired door number is in the display, (6
in the example screen below) press the button be-
low SET to select. The following will display.
7. Connect the DTM to the lock via the double-ended
mini banana plug. Press the left button (GO) and
the following screen will display, prompting you to
enter the Function 299 download code (or for PL
"keypadless" locks, to present the Function 2
card):
Enter the lock's Function 299 code (or for PL
locks, present the Function 2 card) to initiate the
data transfer. The DTM will perform a quick test
of the lock as the following screens appear
DOOR SELECT MODE

Current Door=008

Re-enter the Function 299 code a second time, (or
re-present Function Card 2 for PL series locks)
and the following screen appears during
download:
(Packet numbers will increase until all packets
have been transferred to the lock). The Lock will
continue to beep while in communication with the
AL-DTM.
8. At the end of the transfer process, the lock will
sound a series of beeps. You can now disconnect
the mini banana plug. The following will display:
9. The DTM will then provide a memory status and
proceed to the following Lock Mode screen:
To start again, press the right button (below NO)
to exit Lock Mode and then press the left button
(below YES) to use Door Select Mode.
Continue again at step 3, above.
Note: The AL-DTM will only allow the selection of a
"door number" for which it has valid data currently
programmed (step 2, above, must be performed).
Warning: The "door number" (LockID) selected will
override the number (if any) programmed in the
lock. Care must be taken to ensure that the cor-
rect data is being transferred to the correct lock.
