Creating a latch definition comes down to combining a reader group with a source and a latch type. The source is the fact that serves as a signal for iProtect™ that the mode of the reader group needs to change. There are four sources in iProtect™ four sources:
Time zone Readers of a reader group are put in the chosen mode during the selected time zone.
Input Readers of a reader group are put in a mode when the selected input is active. Which inputs you can select depends on the configuration of your system. This can be a fire alarm, but also the active of the intercom on a boarding terminal.
Active The latch is activated immediately.
Inactive The latch is deactivated with this.
When you select the Time Zone or Input resources, an additional field appears in which you select the time zone or input to respond to. You can choose from five latch types:
...
Only readers who are in the Automatic mode can be controlled by a latch definition.
There is more information about the priority and functionality described in IPROTECT Access - Latch mode priority - Knowledge Base - Confluence (atlassian.net)
Checking reader mode

Go to the right reader.

A time zone is required for the latch definition. These are the times when the reception is staffed. It is very likely that this time zone has already been created. But pay attention: you still need to create a new time zone for the latch definition. There are two reasons for this:
It should be possible to change access times and latch times independently.
You want to link a holiday definition to the latch time zone. It is not desirable that the latch also works on Easter Monday or on Queen's Day (weekdays that are considered free holidays). The perhaps pre-existing time zone should probably just work on these days.
Go to the menu Access | Settings | Time zone.
Press the Search button. All time zones are shown.
When there are no present time zones (or no right ones), press the right mouse key in the left screen to add a new one.
