Description
The system FOLD! 173 consists of a TFT display with a frame for installation in a horizontal furniture
surface.
In the starting position (retracted), the system is flush with the furniture surface and covered.
The power supply of the display is interrupted.
By pressing the button, the FOLD! display moves to the operating position (extended).
Power will be supplied to the display.
Pressing the button again initiates the retraction.
The power supply of the display will be interrupted.
Both movements can be interrupted by a short push of a button.
The solid frame and high-quality mechanical elements ensure smooth, jerk- and vibration-free
operation.
FOLD! has an electromotive, programmable tilt adjustment. At the factory, the monitor moves
forward after extension, up to the maximum possible tilt angle. The angle can be adjusted and
preset as required by operating the control buttons (see Operation).
To prevent personal injury and damage, FOLD! has been equipped with a safety control. If
counterforces of 20 N or more occur during extension or retraction, an acoustic signal sounds and
the process is interrupted and a countermovement is initiated for approx. 1 sec.

General Information
Note the following settings:
Graphic resolution native:
FullHD: 1,920 x 1,080 Pixel
4K/UHD: 3,840 x 2,160 Pixel
Frame rate = 60 Hz
Higher settings are outside the specification range.
No PoE
The network used for IP-based control of the monitors must not support the PoE (Power-
over-Ethernet) function!
Switch-on delay
A LAN-capable monitor system is only ready for operation after a 60-second delay after
power-on if a temporary or static IP address to be assigned by the network cannot be
allocated, or in the case of a device with a permanently programmed IP address, this special
identifier is not set up or available in the customer network, or if the device in question is
not connected to the network via LAN cable when it is switched on.
If an IP address is not assigned or is assigned incorrectly, the device does not start until a
timeout of approx. 60 seconds has elapsed. Please wait until you hear a beep signal.
Stresses on the cables caused by pulling and rubbing against components shorten the
lifetime and can lead to damage and malfunctions. The cables should be fastened and laid
after commissioning.
The following conditions must be observed:
•Do not fall below minimum radii
•Maintain distances to mounting points and structural elements
•Cables must not touch any components during opening and closing
All edges are chamfered or rounded in the area of the cables.
Strong light can affect the image quality.

TCP/IP - Control and Status request
Important notes for the setup in the LAN
All devices of the FOLD! Series are equipped with a Cat-5 LAN cable socket as a network interface.
Via this interface, the monitor systems can be operated IP-based with control commands (e.g. via a
media control system or via a smartphone app).
The devices are supplied with DHCP support.
Depending on your requirements, the monitors can be controlled via the network accordingly
•either via automatic / dynamic IP address allocation in their LAN network
•or via static IP address allocation, assigned in their network manually to the MAC address of
each device.
For control, a TCP-based, text protocol is used. To send a command, a TCP connection must be
established to the unit on port 8282.
Parameters are separated from one another by a space. Each command and each response ends
with a Carriage Return (<CR>) plus a Line Feed (<LF>).
