This function allows the configuration of a weekly automatic closure schedule for each parking zone.

Step 1: Configure the Auto-Closure Schedule

In ihm_config, go to the 'Parameters' menu and select 'Auto-closure planning'.

Configure the desired hours and save. Scheduling by zone is supported.

Step 2: Configure Locking Exceptions

If a user category needs to be excluded from the scheduled zone closure, an exception must be defined.

In ihm_config, go to the 'Parameters' menu and select 'Category lock exceptions'.

Configure the categories that should not be locked. The operating mode must be set to 'Scheduled Closed'.
 Repeat the configuration for all entry devices in the selected zone.

In the example below, the category '24 hours' will not be locked at the ENTRY ZONE 1 terminal.

Step 3: Manually Deactivating Auto-Closure Mode

Closures are automatically activated and deactivated at the defined times. If manual deactivation is needed, follow this procedure:

In MW, go to the 'Zone' tab. Select the desired zone from the right-hand menu. You will see that the 'Force Closed' mode is active (in blue). To disable it, click the 'Force Open' button — all categories will be unlocked.

To reactivate the locking, click the 'Force Closed' button again.
