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.

Off: The processor circuit is defect, check the hardware!
OPERATION
The DLM-600 has four different operation modes: Adapter, Backup Adapter, GSM dialer and GPRS
dialer.
ADAPTER
In the adapter mode the DLM-600 works as a GSM converter and generates an analog line on the CMK
connection. A connected PSTN dialer or control panel with integrated analog dialer can now transmit
alarms via the DLM-600 as if it is connected to a regular analog Telephone line. The use of inputs and
RS-485 is not possible in this mode.
BACKUP ADAPTER
In the backup adapter mode, the DLM-600 is connected between the existing analog (PSTN) telephone
line and PSTN dialer or control panel with integrated analog dialer. The CMK connector on the DLM-600
is connected to the PSTN dialer or analog dialer in the control panel. The LINE connector is connected
to the existing analog telephone line. If the analog telephone line is disconnected or fails then the CMK
connection is redirected to the GSM module. The operation is similar to the adapter mode. In Backup
mode adapter is also possible to force a switchover to GSM if a predefined prefix is programmed in front
of the telephone number.

DLM-600 installer & user manual Rev. 1.3 16-11-2011 12 / 39
GSM DIALER
The DLM-600 now works as a stand-alone GSM dialer, the analog telephone (CMK and LINE)
connections are now disabled.
After activating an input, the DLM-600 checks to see if an event should be generated. If an alarm or a
restore must be reported for this input a message will be placed in the buffer. The orange LED OP4 is on
as long as there are messages in the buffer. The DLM-600 will now handle the messages in
chronological order.
When processing a message the DLM-600 will start dialing the lowest (1, 2 3 etc.) telephone number
programmed for that input. This telephone number is called as many time as the number of dial attempts
set in the programming. If the message cannot be delivered to the first telephone number the message
will be sent to the next number. If, after calling all the phone numbers it was unable to send the message
the DLM-600 will stop dialing and a "fail to communicate" (FTC) event generated. If one of the outputs is
programmed as "fail to communicate" then the corresponding output will be activated.
The DLM-600 can also generate a test message. A test message ensures that the DLM-600 is
periodically tested. The interval between the test calls is free programmable and default it is set to 24
hours.
Sending alarm and restore messages has priority over sending test messages.
Outputs can be activated by different types of events. Each output can be controlled until the event is
restored or for a preset time. When time activated the time can bet set set between 1 and 3600 (one
hour) seconds. It is also possible to remotely activate the output using a DTMF telephone.
GPRS DIALER
The DLM-600 now works as a stand-alone dialer and transmits GPRS messages to a RC-4001 central
station receiver equipped with a RC-4001 IP receiver card which can receive the SIA HS IP protocol. In
this mode the PSTN (CMK and LINE) connections are now disabled.
After activating an input, the DLM-600 checks to see if an event should be generated. If an alarm or a
restore must be reported for this input a message will be placed in the buffer. The orange LED OP4 is on
as long as there are messages in the buffer. The DLM-600 will now handle the messages in
chronological order.
The GPRS dialer has in fact two dialers. The messages are normally sent via the primary dialer, if not
available, they will be sent via the backup dialer. It is therefore recommended to program a different
central station receiver for the backup dialer.
The DLM-600 can also generate a test message. A test message ensures that the DLM-600 is
periodically tested. The interval between the test calls is free programmable and default it is set to 24
hours.
Outputs can be activated by different types of events. Each output can be controlled until the event is
restored or for a preset time. When time activated the time can bet set set between 1 and 3600 (one
hour) seconds. It is also possible to remotely activate the output using a DTMF telephone.

PROGRAMMING
LOCAL PROGRAMMING WITH A COMPUTER OR LAPTOP
The DLM-600 is programmed locally using a programming cable (art. 003 834) and a computer / laptop
with the Alpha Tool software (art.code 004 255) version 2.4 or higher.
First connect the DLM-600 to the PC / laptop using the programming cable. The programming cable has
a Sub-D connector 9-pin female that is connected to the serial port of the computer (RS232), the 10-pin
ribbon cable connector is connected to the DLM-600 dialer.
Start the AlphaTool software and make sure that AlphaTool is ready to connect to the DLM-600 dialer.
Now connect the power supply to the DLM-600 and AlphaTool will now automatically connect to the
DLM-600.
For the correct operation of the DLM-600 dialer is important that the programming cable is unplugged.
This is only connected during programming and disconnected immediately afterwards.
For a complete description of the AlphaTool softwarepackage, see ‘AlphaTool manual’

INPUT PROGRAMMING
The inputs 1 through 4 are the hardwired inputs on the DLM-600 dialer. Besides the 4 inputs there are
three special system inputs visible. If for these inputs in the columns alarm, restore and telephone
numbers programming is entered, these events will also be reported. By default, the correct SIA and
Contact ID codes are present, if desired these codes can be changed in consultation with the central
station.
The ‘Name’ and ‘Type’ of the special system inputs cannot be changed !
figure 5. Input programming
NAME
For each input a free text description name of up to 16 characters can be programmed. The free text
name is only transmitted when using the protocol XSIA to a central station. When using Contact ID or
SIA Level 2 protocol no text name is transmitted!. The text name is also sent when using the SMS text
protocol.
TYPE
For each input it must be programmed whether the input is normally open (NO) or normally closed (nc).
By default, inputs 1 through 4 are all programmed as "Not active".
For the special system inputs the ‘type’ cannot be modified and are fixed to Normally Closed.
ALARM /RESTORE
In the columns ‘Alarm’ and ‘restore’ you can check the corresponding boxes per input to determine
whether an alarm and/or restore message will be transmitted.
ALARM CODE /RESTORE CODE
In the columns "Alarm Code SIA or CID” and " Restore Code SIA or CID " for each input zone the
relevant SIA or Contact ID code can be programmed which will be transmitted to the central station when
the input is activated. A SIA code is always two letters and a CID code is always 3 digits. An overview of

DLM-600 installer & user manual Rev. 1.3 16-11-2011 15 / 39
SIA and Contact ID codes is present in the back of this manual or can be displayed in AlphaTool using
the Help function.
TELEPHONE NUMBERS
For each input, one or more telephone numbers can be programmed where the alarm and / or restore
message is reported to. Phone numbers are programmed in the tab "Dialer". The DLM-600 will always
begin calling the lowest (1, then 2, then 3, etc.) telephone number that is programmed for this input.
This makes it possible to create selective reporting for specific inputs and / or events.
ACCEPTATION
For each input you can program whether the alarm and / or restore messages should be accepted by
one or all telephone numbers.

DLM-600 installer & user manual Rev. 1.3 16-11-2011 16 / 39
GSM DIALER PROGRAMMING
In the DLM-600 a maximum of 8 telephone numbers can be programmed for reporting to a central
station or private telephone number.
figure 6. Dialer programming
TELEPHONE NUMBER
Here you can enter a telephone number up to 16 digits. Besides the numbers 0 to 9, it is also possible to
use the following special characters:
wwaits 2.5 seconds and call whether or not there is a dial tone
-Wait for dial tone
For example, if a zero (0) is dialed to access an outside line via a telephone exchange and the DLM-600
should start dialing whether there is a dial tone or not, then the telephone number should be
programmed as “W0-0332459944”.
ACCOUNT NUMBER
If the message is transmitted to a central station, the assigned client (account) number must be
programmed. The account number is usually a 4-digit number.
PROTOCOL
Here, the desired protocol (per telephone number) can be programmed. If the DLM-600 reports to a
central station, the following protocols are available: Contact ID, SIA level 2 or XSIA
When transmitting to a private (mobile) telephone, the following options are available:
SMS protocol
Alerts are sent as SMS text message to a private (mobile) phone. The SMS text message contains
information about the location (Dialer name), the type of alarm / restore, zone number and zone name.
After sending an SMS message the DLM-600 will check if anymore telephone numbers are programmed
for the corresponding input and also send the message to the other numbers regardless of the

DLM-600 installer & user manual Rev. 1.3 16-11-2011 17 / 39
"Acceptation" programming for this input.
Private tone protocol
The DLM-600 shall call the assigned telephone number(s) and transmit a siren tone. The alarm can be
accepted by the called party by pressing the "9" button on a DTMF telephone. The DLM-600 will now
disconnect the line.
Once the connection to the DLM-600 is established, it is also possible to carry out other functions before
the message is accepted, with key ‘9’. The remaining functions are described in the section "Outputs
activated by remote control".
Private speech Protocol
If the DLM-600 is equipped with an optional plug-on speech board (art. 004162), the events can reported
as a speech text. The speech texts can be recorded with a simple "recording application" in the
AlphaTool software. For further explanation about speech recording see 'Speech text recording".
All alarms and / or restore messages can be accepted by the called party by pressing "9" key on a DTMF
telephone. After receiving the acceptation tone the DLM-600 will disconnect. Once the connection to the
DLM-600 is achieved, it is also possible to carry out other functions before the message is accepted,
with key 9. The remaining functions are described in the section "Outputs activated by remote control".
DIAL ATTEMPTS
Here you can program the desired number of dial attempts per telephone number. The maximum
number of dial attempts is 9. The dial attempt is per event / per telephone number.
TEST REPORT
Here you can determine if a periodic test report is sent to check if the DLM-600 dialer and the analog
telephone line it is connected to both function correctly. A 24-hour is a message that will be sent every xx
hours. The interval time of the test message can be set between 1 and 255 hours. The default
programming is 24 hours.
DIALER NAME
This is a free text field of maximum 16 digits that is sent with the SMS text message to identify (name)
the specific DLM-600 dialer.
RING-IN
The option ‘ring-in’ will determine how the DLM-600 dialer handles incoming phone calls. The option
‘Data’ is used for up / downloading (via the GSM data channel) of the DLM-600 with the AlphaTool
software or for remote controlling the outputs on the DLM-600 by a DTMF telephone. The following
programming options are available:
Disabled: the DLM-600 will not pick-up the telephone line
Single ring-in: the DLM-600 will pick-up the telephone line after 2 rings
TEST REPORT INTERVAL
Here, the interval time of the test message is programmed, the value can range between 1 and 255
hours.
PREFIX
In the GSM back-up mode the prefix is used to force a switchover to GSM. All telephone numbers
programmed in the external PSTN dialer or analog control panel with integrated analog dialer will be
transmitted via GSM regardless of the status of the connected analog (PSTN) telephone line. The prefix
is a 3 digit number. Its advised to also program a ‘W’ between the prefix and the telephone number.
MISCELLANEOUS PROGRAMMING

DLM-600 installer & user manual Rev. 1.3 16-11-2011 18 / 39
figure 7. Miscellaneous programming
OUTPUTS
The DLM-600 has a total of four outputs, 2 are relay contacts and 2 are open collector outputs. OC3 and
OC4 are equipped with an automatic fuse (polyswitch) of 200mA. Jumpers J32 and J33 are used to
determine whether the relay contacts operate as normally open (n.o.) or as normally closed (n.c.).
Event
For each output you can program for which event it is activated. The different events are:
Telephone line failure of the DLM-600 dialer. The DLM-600 has a line voltage sensing circuit and
checks every 3 seconds for the presence of the telephone line. If the line voltage is too low then a
telephone line failure event will be generated.
Fail to Communicate (FTC) of the DLM-600 dialer. If the calling cycle (per input) of the DLM-600
dialer has been completed and the message is not received and / or accepted, a fail to communicate
event will be generated.
Mains Failure (230V) of the DLM-600 dialer. If the mains voltage is not present a mains failure event
will be generated.
Battery failure of the DLM-600 dialer. If a battery pack is connected to the DLM-600 (and enabled in
the programming) then a battery failure event will be generated when the battery voltage is too low.
Power supply failure in the DLM-600 dialer. The power supply failure event depends on 'Supply
Drop' and 'Battery fault. If one of the two events occurs then the output will be activated.
DTMF control 1 to 3 of the DLM-600 outputs. This output can be controlled remotely using a DTMF
telephone.
CMK detection circuit open. The outer 2 wires of the RJ11 connector/cable is open which could
indicate that the cable between the external PSTN dialer or analog dialer in the control panel has been
tampered with.
RS-485 bus trouble. If the RS-485 connection is used and there is no communication between the
DLM-600 and the external control panel then an event is generated.
GPRS primary dialer trouble. If the primary GPRS dialer does not function correctly an even will be
generated.

DLM-600 installer & user manual Rev. 1.3 16-11-2011 19 / 39
GPRS back-up trouble. If the back-up GPRS dialer does not function correctly an event will be
generated.
GPRS dialer/back-up trouble. If both the primary and back-up GPRS dialer do not function correctly
an event will be generated.
GSM module trouble. If the GSM module does not function correctly or there is an invalid PIN-code
an event will be generated.
Output type
For each output you can program how the output is activated. The following programming options are
available:
Until restore: the output remains active until the event (event) is restored and will automatically
deactivate the output.
Time controlled: the output remains activated during a preset time. The activation time in
seconds (1 to 3600) is programmed in the column "Time".
Note: if an output is programmed as “Fail to Communicate (FTC)”, then it is only possible to use the
time-controlled option.
Time
If an output is activated as “Time controlled”, then the activation time in seconds (1 to 3600) can be
programmed here.
BATTERY CONNECTED
This option indicates whether a battery pack (art. 004 211) is connected to the DLM-600 print dialer. If
this option is enabled in the programming, the battery will be charged and monitored periodically.
OTHER CODES
Installer code
This code is to protect the programming of the DLM-600 against unauthorised changes. The default
installer code is 1234. If desired, the code changed. The programmed installer code in the DLM-600 is
compared with the programmed installer code in the AlphaTool software when establishing a connection.
If the two codes are not equal then the connection will not be established and access to the
programming will be blocked.
Download code
If the AlphaTool software package (with modem), or a DTMF device is used to remotely connect to the
DLM-600, then the download code is checked. When calling-in with a DTMF telephone the caller will first
be prompted to enter the download code before the actual connection is established.
Also when establishing a remote connection with the DLM-600 using the AlphaTool software and a
modem connection, both the installer code and the download code are compared before the actual
connection is established and the installer can enter the programming.
MAINS FAILURE REPORT
Here, a delay time can be programmed for reporting a mains failure. If a mains failure occurs then an
internal timer will be start counting down, after the timer has reached 0 the mains failure event will be
reported.
SYSTEM TEXT LANGUAGE
The name of the special system inputs is not freely editable. With the ‘language’ option you determine in
which language the special system inputs are transmitted when reporting to a central station with XSIA
protocol or to a private (mobile) phone with SMS text messages.

DLM-600 installer & user manual Rev. 1.3 16-11-2011 20 / 39
MODE
The DLM-600 has several modes: Adapter, Backup adapter, GSM Dialer, GPRS Dialer.
Adapter
In adapter mode the DLM-600 creates its own analog phone line to able to connect an external PSTN
dialer or control panel with analog dialer. If the connected device will pick-up the line and start
transmitting the line will be converted to GSM. In this mode the DLM-600 does not generate its own
messages.
Backup adapter
Adapter in backup mode, the existing analog (PSTN) telephone line is connected to the LINE connector
of the DLM-600. The CMK connector is connected to the external analog (PSTN) dialer or control panel
with integrated analog dialer. Normally the LINE and CMK are connected together. Only when the line
voltage of the existing analog telephone line fails the DLM-600 will automatically switch over to GSM.
Optionally, the switch over can be forced by programming a 3-digit prefix in front of the telephone
number in the analog (PSTN) dialer or control panel with integrated analog dialer. In this mode the DLM-
600 does not generate messages and is purely used as a backup transmission channel.
GSM dialer
In the GSM Dialer mode the DLM-600 operates as a stand-alone GSM dialer to transmit messages via
GSM to the selected numbers. These messages can come from the inputs or via the RS485 bus. The
PSTN interface (CMK and LINE) is disabled in this mode.
GPRS dialer
In the GPRS dialer mode the DLM-600 operates as a stand-alone GPRS dialer to transmit messages via
GPRS to a SIA HS IP receiver in a central station. These messages can come from the inputs or via the
RS485 bus. The PSTN interface (CMK and LINE) is disabled in this mode.
GSM SETTINGS
For GSM / GPRS communication various settings are necessary. For the correct settings, ask your
telecom provider.
Sim Pin
If the PIN-code on the SIM card is active, the PIN-code must be programmed here.
APN, Username, Password
These settings are only used in GPRS mode and must be delivered by the provider.
Roaming
Roaming is the possibility to enrol to another GSM / GPRS network than the home network. Some
providers do not have their own network and it is therefore necessary that roaming is enabled.
In the border there is a chance that the DLM-600 could accidently enrol to a provider over the border
which will create high calling costs. Point out this risk to the end user! In these situations it is
recommended take a subscription with a provider that does not require roaming.
RS485 BUS
The DLM-600 can also be used as a GSM / GPRS dialer for the AlphaVision control panel.
