Alarm Lock PL6100 / Continental CPL6100
OVERVIEW
When an Alarm Lock door lock is removed from its factory
packaging and powered, it contains Alarm Lock firmware;
this manual will refer to these "factory-fresh" models as
"PDL" or "PL" (for example "PL6100"). Locks converted to
the CA3000 system have the letter "C" added before the
"PDL" or "PL" letters (for example, an Alarm Lock model
"PL6100" becomes a "CPL6100" when converted for use
with CA3000.
Notice that the next section details powering up the factory
Alarm Lock model PL6100; once the lock is converted to the
CA3000 system, all subsequent sections then detail the con-
verted Continental lock model CPL6100.
WIRING
Batteries:
Use four 1.5 volt Alkaline size-C batteries only (either a
sealed battery pack or battery pack with replaceable bat-
teries).
External Power:
Red / Black wires - External 7.5 VDC Power Source must
be used for operation without batteries.
Remote Input / Bypass:
(Two white wires)
In the rear of the lock body are two
white wires that, when shorted, cause the lock to unlock,
(thus "unlocking the door" and allowing passage through
the protected door). These two white wires are called
"Remote Input" in Alarm Lock terminology, and called
"Bypass" in Continental terminology. Wire a normally-
open switch to the two white wires; momentarily close to
unlock / allow passage / entry through door.
Relay:
COM-Black / NO-White / NC-Yellow.
Erase Memory Leads:
Yellow / Yellow wires - When shunted during power up,
the Lock Program memory is erased (see
ERASE ALL
PROGRAMMING
below).
PL6100 FIRST TIME POWER UP
Note:
Failure to follow the exact steps below can result in
erratic lock behavior.
When powered for the first time but before it is converted
to the CA3000 system as a CPL6100, the PL6100 will re-
main unlocked.
1. Unpack the lock from its factory packaging.
2. For models with a replaceable battery pack, install
fresh batteries with attention to the correct polarity as
indicated inside the plastic battery pack housing. Do
not connect the batteries yet.
3. With battery power disconnected, short the two white
wires (
Remote Input / Bypass
wires) together for 10
seconds to ensure discharge of all capacitors. After 10
seconds, remove the short.
4. Plug in the (provided) male shunt connector into the
yellow wire female connector (
Erase Memory Leads
).
5. With shunt connector connected, re-connect the bat-
tery pack. The lock will immediately sound 3 short
beeps (if these 3 beeps are not heard, then restart at
step 3).
6. The lock will then sound more slow beeps, 1 beep for
every second it takes to clear the memory.
7. After 2 rapid beeps are heard and 2 green LED flashes
are seen,

Memory Leads)
.
The lock is ready to be discovered and converted to the
CA3000 system as a CPL6100. Once converted, but be-
fore the lock receives a full data download from CA3000
(badge data, etc), and the CPL6100 is unlocked by de-
fault.
From this point onward, the text in these instructions
assume the lock has been discovered and converted
to the CA3000 system as a CPL6100 using the Wire-
less Lock Integration Guide WI1949 (section "Quick
Start: Add Gateways and Locks").
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPL6100 ERASE ALL PROGRAMMING
(PERFORM A "MANUAL DEFAULT")
1. At the back of the lock, remove the lock housing screw
and remove the cover.
2. Take out battery pack and remove battery power by
disconnecting the battery pack plug.
3. With battery power disconnected, short the two white
wires (
Remote Input / Bypass
wires) together for 10
seconds to ensure discharge of all capacitors. After
10 seconds, remove the short.
4. Plug in the (provided) male shunt connector into the
yellow wire female connector (
Erase Memory Leads
).
5. With shunt connector connected, re-connect the bat-
tery pack. The lock will immediately sound 3 short
beeps.
6. The lock will then sound more slow beeps, 1 beep for
every second it takes to clear the memory.
7.
REMOVE YELLOW MALE SHUNT connector (Erase
Memory Leads)
.
With the yellow male shunt connector
removed
, all lock
configuration data (badge data, access groups, etc.) have
been erased and the lock is now ready to be discovered
and added to the CA3000 system. Before the lock re-
ceives a full data download from CA3000 (badge data,
etc), the CPL6100 is unlocked by default.
CPL6100 POWER RE-APPLIED
When power is re-applied to a lock that has already been
configured and operational (with badge data, etc.), and
