Introduction
The DL50 is a keyless proximity door lock that fits most standard
doors. Simply replace your existing cylindrical style door handle
with the DL50 for an economical access control system for your
business or home. The locks provide stand alone operation and
do not require the use of a computer or any external device for
programming. They are powered by standard alkaline batteries
eliminating the need for wiring. The DL50 uses radio frequency
technology to instantly identify proximity badges and key fobs.
No transaction history is retained.

120 user capacity per lock

Using the DL50
When a badge or key fob is placed over the reader window of
the DL50, it instantly reads its unique encoded ID number and
verifies that it has been authorized to open the door. The DL50
comes with five preprogrammed badges which can be used
immediately following installation with no additional setup
required.

Good Badge
If the badge or key fob has been programmed into to the lock,
the DL50 flashes a blue light, sounds a positive tone, and
engages the door handle to allow access. The default unlock
window to open the door is 5 seconds, but this can be
customized for each lock to 3 or 10 seconds (see Customizing
Unlock Window).
Bad Badge
If a badge or key fob has not been programmed into the lock, the
DL50 will flash a red light and a sound a negative tone. The
handle will not engage the latch and the door will not open.

Badges and Key Fobs
The DL50 supports the use of SimplexGrinnell proximity ID
badges (included with lock) or optional SimplexGrinnell proximity
key fobs that users can simply attach to their key chains. The
use of badges or key fobs is an individual user preference, and
they can be used interchangeably on any lock.
A badge or key fob can be programmed to be one of two distinct
types of users of the DL50: Master or User
Master Badges
The Master not only allows access through the door, but also
provides additional administrative rights to the holder so they can
add and remove users as needed. The DL50 supports up to two
(2) Master badges or key fobs. Each Master can add up to 59
individual Users. Therefore, the DL50 supports up to 120 total
authorized users including the two Masters. The DL50 comes
with one preprogrammed Master badge, which is identified by
the global key sticker located in the lower left corner of one of the
badges. This Master badge can begin accessing the lock and
adding or removing users as needed without any additional
programming (see Adding a Master).

User Badges
A User badge or key fob allows access through the door. User
badges or key fobs are added by a Master badge. There can be
up to 59 User badges assigned to each Master card. The DL50
comes with four (4) preprogrammed User badges. These
badges do not have the global key sticker like the Master badge.
These User badges can begin accessing the lock immediately
with no additional programming needed.
