GSM mode in alarm (without outputs, speech and battery pack): approx. 230mA
GPRS mode idle: approx. 140mA
GPRS mode in alarm (without outputs, speech and battery pack): approx. 220mA
Current drain depends heavily on the signal strength of the GSM/GPRS network. When using GPRS
mode the current drain is also influenced by the polling rate.
- Reserve power supply
Battery pack (art. code. 004211) can be connected to the BAT connection on the DLM-600. The
DLM-600 has a battery pack charging and detection circuit on the board.
- 4 inputs
4 programmable inputs that can be connected as standard floating (no / nc) contacts. For each input
a freely programmable name of up to 16 characters can be programmed. For each input you can
determine if both ‘ALARM’ and ‘RESTORE’ is reported.
- 4 programmable open collector outputs (max. 12VDC/500 or 200mA)
4 freely programmable outputs. Output 1 and 2 are relay contacts. Jumper J32 and J33 determine
whether the relay contact is normally open (n.o.) or normally closed (n.c.). Outputs 3 and 4 are open
collector outputs and can be loaded with up to 200mA.
The outputs can be triggered by a specific event such as a power failure, power trouble, battery
failure, fail to communicate (FTC) or GPRS failure. The outputs can also be controlled remotely by a
DTMF telephone.
- Analog (PSTN) telephone line
The PSTN (CMK) telephone connection can be used in the GSM mode to connect an external PSTN
dialer. The DLM-600 creates its own line voltage and dial tone. The DLM-600 can also be connected
between the existing analog (PSTN) telephone line and the analog dialer and work as a GSM back-
up connection.
- Telephone numbers
Up to 8 programmable telephone numbers for reporting to a central station and / or private (mobile)
telephone numbers. For each input you can program to which telephone number (s) the
alarm/restore will be reported. This allows selective reporting of specific events to specific telephone
numbers. It is also possible to transmit to both a central station and/or private (mobile) telephone
numbers.

INTRODUCTION
The DLM-600 is an advanced microprocessor controlled GSM/GPRS dialer especially designed for the
security industry and has various applications.
With a computer or laptop equipped with the Alpha tool software, all data can be programmed or
modified. In this manual the DLM-600 is described as a pcb only (art. code. 004025), but there is also a
model available in a synthetic casing (art. code. 004026) and a model in a synthetic casing with power
supply and battery pack 1600mAh (art. code. 004027).
The DLM-600 is equipped with an analog telephone line input, 4 inputs and 4 outputs. The DLM-600 has
2 main modes: GSM adapter and GSM/GPRS dialer.
In the GSM adapter mode (without being connected to an analog telephone line) the DLM-600 will
generate its own telephone line voltage and dial tone and transmit via GSM. If the DLM-600 is used in
the GSM back-up mode (connected between the analog telephone line and the existing analog dialer)
then the DLM-600 will automatically switch over to GSM if the analog telephone line disappears.
The DLM-600 can be connected to an existing analog telephone line and contains telephone line
monitoring. When activating one or more of the inputs the DLM-600 will transmit an alarm to maximum 8
monitoring station and / or private (mobile) telephone numbers. For each input you can program to which
phone numbers the alarm should be reported.
In the GSM dialer mode the DLM-600 will transmit alarms to a maximum of 8 central station of private
telephone numbers if one of the inputs is activated. For each input you can program which telephone
numbers are called.
In the GPRS dialer mode alarms will only be transmitted to a central station using the SIA HS IP
protocol. The central station must have a RC-4001 IP receiver card present to be able to receive the
alarm messages.
The four outputs can be activated by a particular event or remotely activated by a DTMF telephone. If the
output is triggered by a particular event you can program whether the output should remain active until
the event is restored, or that the output is activated for a preset time.
Due to its universal design the DLM-600 is the ideal dialer for reporting alarms to a central station or
private (mobile) phones. Besides applications in the security industry, the DLM-600 also can be used for
any application were critical business processes must be monitored.
INSTALLATION
INPUTS
The inputs of the DLM-600 are standard floating contacts, which are triggered when pulled to ground
(0V). By default, all inputs are programmed as normally closed. To activate an input the input must be
pulled to the 0V. Once the floating contact is opened, the input of the DLM-600 is pulled up and the input
is seen as open.
TELEPHONE LINE
The telephone line connections ((CMK and LINE) are only used in the GSM adapter of GSM back-up
mode. In the back-up mode the LINE connection on the board is connected to the existing analog
telephone line. The CMK connection is connected to an existing analog (PSTN) dialer. Normally the
LINE connection is connected to the CMK connection thus allowing the analog dialer to transmit over the
analog telephone line. If the analog telephone line disappears the DLM-600 will connect the CMK
connection to the GSM module and force alarm transmission via GSM.

DLM-600 installer & user manual Rev. 1.3 16-11-2011 8 / 39
In the GSM adapter mode an existing analog (PSTN) dialer is connected to the CMK connection and all
alarms transmitted by the existing analog dialer are done via GSM.
OUTPUTS
The four outputs are used to indicate a specific situation like power supply failure, battery failure (if a
battery is connected), phone line failure, fail to communicate (FTC), RS-485 bus failure or GPRS failure.
The outputs can also be remotely activated using a DTMF telephone. In the programming you can
determine whether an output is activated and deactivates once the event is restored, or that the output is
activated for a preset time (programmable from 1 to 3600 seconds).
When an output is programmed as fail to communicate, the output will be activated after the
programmed number of dial attempts is called and it has not succeeded to transmit the message.
Output 1 and 2 are relay contacts, with J32 and J33 you can determine whether the relay output
functions as normally open (n.o.) or normally closed (n.c.).
Output 3 and 4 are open collector outputs and the maximum current drain may not exceed 200mA. Open
collector output 3 and 4 are also equipped with an automatic circuit breaker, which intervenes if the
drawn current is higher than 200mA. If an open collector output is used to activate a relay switch, then
one side of the relay coil is connected to the OC output and the other side of the coil is connected to the
12V including a diode.
RS-232
To program the DLM-600 it must be connected to a serial port of a PC (COM port). This requires a
programming cable (art. code. 003834) and the Alpha Tool software V2.4 or higher.
Start the AlphaTool software. How the AlphaTool software must be installed is described in a separate
manual for AlphaTool. After connecting the programming cable apply the power supply to the DLM-600.
POWER SUPPLY
The DLM-600 dialer should be powered with a 12-16VDC power supply. If the DLM-600 is equipped with
a battery pack (art. code. 004 211), then the dialer should be powered with a 16VDC power supply
otherwise the battery pack cannot be charged. To prevent damage to the dialer always use a switched
power supply 16VDC / 1.9 A (art. code. 200074), the DLM-600 was developed according to this power
supply.
Connect the 16VDC power supply to the + and - terminals. When the voltage drops below 10.6 V (± 2%),
a "Power Failure" message will be sent. In idle state the DLM-600 has a current drain of approx. 60mA
(without battery pack connected and no outputs activated).
The DLM-600 is also available in a version (art. Code. 004027) in synthetic casing including a switching
power supply and battery pack. The DLM-600 has its own loading and detection circuit for the battery
pack. The battery pack is automatically loaded and monitored. Connect the battery pack connector to the
BAT terminal.
If a battery pack is connected you must also enable the "Battery" option in the programming. The DLM-
600 will now check every 4 seconds for the presence of a battery pack. Also every 24 hours a heavy
battery test is performed to check that the battery still has sufficient capacity.

DLM-600 installer & user manual Rev. 1.3 16-11-2011 9 / 39
If the power fails or becomes too low, after a delay (default 30 minutes) a message will be sent to the
programmed telephone numbers. If desired the delay time for reporting a power failure can be modified
in the programming.
