After-Hours Immobilization

After-hours immobilization lets you keep a device (i.e. a G70) immobilized or mobilized outside configured working hours. Use this when you want the immobilizer state to follow your after-hours schedule, even if basic asynchronous messages are sent or Driver IDs are scanned.

Applies to:

Parameter Set-Up

Before configuring after-hours immobilization, first complete one of the standard immobilization installs below.

• Immobilization Install - Asset can be immobilized from the server
   
• Immobilizer Install - Asset starts after valid Driver ID Scan

Once one of the above installs is in place, add the after-hours layer using the parameter below.
 

Immobilization After-Hours Parameter
 

• Disabled - After-hours immobilization is disabled.
   
• Active - The immobilizer state is active, with the output set High.
   
• Inactive - The immobilizer state is inactive, with the output set Low.

Make sure the After Hours and Time Zone parameters on the device are aligned. This is essential for after-hours immobilization to operate correctly.

Override After-Hours Immobilization

There are four ways to override after-hours immobilization:

1. Override Command - contact DM Support for OEM/Device Manager WebAPI documentation.
    
2. Prioritized Driver ID.
    
3. Send an Activate or Deactivate command from the mobile app, depending on your immobilization set-up:
   1. Use an Activate command on a basic remote message with a configured expiry duration in the system parameters. For this option to work, Active High must be set to No and Immobilization After Hours must be set to Inactive.
       
   2. Use an Activate command on a scheduled remote message, as long as an expiry duration is configured in the system parameters. For this option to work, Active High must be set to No and Immobilization After Hours must be set to Inactive.
       
   3. Use an Activate or Deactivate command on a timed remote message.
       
4. Update the system parameters in Device Manager to disable after-hours immobilization.
    

Next Steps

After configuring after-hours immobilization, test the output logic and schedule on the device to confirm the asset behaves as expected. If you are still setting up immobilization, start with Immobilization Install - Asset can be immobilized from the server or Immobilizer Install - Asset starts after valid Driver ID Scan.
