1. Precautions and Safety Warnings 
Please read this manual carefully before using your TNP600. Keep this 
manual handy for future reference. These safety instructions are to ensure 
the long life of your TNP600 and to prevent fire and shock hazards. Please 
read them carefully and heed all warnings. 
1.1 General 
 Unauthorized personnel shall not open the unit, as there are 
high-voltage components inside. 
 Qualified ALTINEX service personnel or their authorized 
representatives must perform all service. 
1.2 Installation Precautions 
 For best results, place the TNP600 in a dry area away from dust. 
 To prevent fire or shock, do not expose this unit to water or moisture. 
Do not place the TNP600 in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat 
radiating appliances, or near any liquid. Exposure to direct sunlight, 
smoke, or steam can harm internal components. 
 Handle the TNP600 carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage the 
bezel. 
 Never place fingers inside the opening on either side of the unit. This 
action could cause injury due to sharp edges inside. 
 Do not place heavy objects on top of the TNP600. Do not use excessive 
force to push down on the top of the unit. 
 Disconnect the TNP600’s power cord to turn off the main power. This 
supplies power to the power socket on the pop up panel. The power 
outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible. 
 We recommend using wall outlets with a Ground Fault Circuit 
Interrupter (GFCI) for maximum protection. 
 Install all cables according to the instructions found herein. Do not 
force or pull out any cable or power cord attached to the TNP600.  
1.3 Cleaning 
 Surfaces should be cleaned with a dry cloth. Never use strong 
detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner. Do not use a wet cloth 
or water to clean the unit. 
1.4 FCC Notice 
 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is 
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause 
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference 
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 
 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for 
a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These 
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial 
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio 
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instructions found herein, may cause harmful interference to radio 
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is 
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be 
required to correct the interference at his expense. 
 Any changes or modifications to the unit not expressly approved by 
ALTINEX, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the 
equipment. 
2. Installation Procedures 
Step 1. Cut an opening into the table’s surface. Refer to the ALTINEX website at www.altinex.com for table cutout template. 
 Note: The table can be 2.50” or less in thickness. Always confirm dimensions before cutting to insure that specifications have not changed. 
Step 2. Insert the TNP600 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 TNP600. Attach the brackets to the 
groove at the desired height and secure them to the bottom of the table using the thumbscrews provided. 
Step 4. To lower the unit, push on the top of the TNP600 until it locks into place. 
Note: A standard, empty, TNP600 does not latch in the down position. A cable support bracket is required. The exact cable support bracket required 
is determined at the time of customization.  
If Custom Plates Are Installed 
Step 5. Secure all cables to the underside of the table using the cable clamps and screws included with the TNP600. 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. Connect the appropriate cables with the correct input connectors on the bottom of the unit. 
Step 7. Once you have applied power and connected the proper cables on the bottom of the unit you may raise the unit. To raise the TNP600 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 cables for optimal performance. 
3. Limited Warranty/Return policies 
Please see the ALTINEX website at www.altinex.com for details on warranty and return policies.

5. About Your TNP600 
 Compact interconnect Solutions 
 Mounts into existing or new furniture 
 Configurable with multimedia and/or power input plates 
 High-quality matte black finish 
 Fits tables up to 2.5” thick 
The TNP600 is a compact interconnection solution designed for installation into a table as part of a presentation system. It is designed for mounting into a table, 
podium, or other furniture to provide a way of connecting audiovisual equipment on top of the furniture to a presentation system below the furniture. 
The TNP600 is empty, but can be configured with various multimedia and power input plates that can be accessed when the TNP600 is tilted open. The input 
plates of the TNP600 are accessible by pushing down on the top cover. The unit then auto tilts open with help from an internal pneumatic spring. Once open, the 
input plate remains securely in place. The input plate is hidden by pressing down on the top cover until the latching mechanism engages. In its closed position, 
the top panel lies flush with the tabletop until needed again. 
All Tilt ‘N Plug Signal Management Solutions come with a standard top and bezel offering a high quality matte black finish. Other finishes or special bezel 
configurations are available upon request. Please contact an ALTINEX representative to discuss custom options.
