2. Installation Procedures  
Step 1 Cut an opening into the table’s surface. Refer to the ALTINEX website at 
http://www.altinex.com/ for table cutout requirements.  
NOTE: The table can be 2.25 in (57 mm) or less in thickness. Always confirm 
dimensions before cutting to insure that specifications have not changed. 
Step 2 Insert the TNP355C into the table cutout.  
Step 3 Place the support brackets under the table and place them between the support 
mount grooves on the side of the unit. Attach the brackets to the groove at the 
desired height and secure them to the bottom of the table using the knurled 
table securing screws provided with the additional wing nuts for added 
tightening.  
Step 4 To lower the unit, push on the top cover until it locks into place.  
Step 5 Secure power cable to the underside of the table using the cable clamps and screws included with the TNP. Pass the 
power cord from the bottom of the housing and attach it to the table separate from the signal cables. Leave enough slack 
in the service loop to allow for easy opening and closing, but not too much as to cause excess drooping of the service 
loop. 
Step 6 Once you have applied power on the bottom of the unit you may raise the unit. To raise the unit into position, push down 
on the front of the top cover; the latching mechanism will then release, allowing the pneumatic spring to raise it into 
position.  
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the service loop of the cable for optimal performance.

8. Troubleshooting Guide 
The Tilt N Plug supplied was carefully tested and no problems were detected. However, we would like to offer the following 
suggestions: 
TNP 
Symptom Resolution 
USB ports are not 
charging 
1. Make sure that the power cord is connected. 
2. Make sure the USB LED indicator is on 
Damaged power cord 
1. Make sure that no cable or power cord is damaged or pinched.  
2. If there has been damage, do not use the Tilt N Plug. Please call the ALTINEX Customer 
Service Department at (714) 990-2300 to have the unit repaired. 
Unit raises too slowly 
1. If the unit does not rise into position correctly, check the service loops for the signal and power 
cords on the bottom of the unit. If the service loop is too small the cables will counteract the 
spring trying to raise the unit into position. 
Unit tilts up too fast 
1. If the unit rises into position too fast, check the service loops for the signal and power cords on 
the bottom of the unit. If the service loop is too large and the cables are putting upward pressure 
on the unit, the unit will tilt up too fast. 
Unit does not close all 
the way 
1. If the unit does not close flush with the bezel, check the service loops for the signal and power 
cords on the bottom of the unit. If the service loop is putting upward pressure in the unit, the unit 
will not be able to seat all the way down.
