2. Installation Procedures 
Step 1.  Cut an opening into the table’s surface. Ref er to the ALTINEX website at www.altinex.com for tab le cutout requirements. 
  Note: The table can be 2.50” or less in thickness. Al ways 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 a nd place them between the support mount grooves on t he 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 TN P600 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 tab le 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 corr ect input connectors on the bottom of the unit. 
Step 7.  Once you have applied power and connected t he 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 latchin g mechanism will then release, allowing the pneumatic  spring to raise it into position. 
Note:  It may be necessary to adjust the service loop o f the cables for optimal performance.

5. About Your TNP600 
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 conn ecting audiovisual equipment on top of the furniture  to a presentation system below the furniture. 
The TNP600 is empty, but can be configured with vari ous 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 pla te 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 nee ded again. 
All Tilt ‘N Plug Signal Management Solutions come wi th a standard top and bezel offering a high quality matte black finish. Other finishes or special bezel 
configurations are available upon request. Please con tact an ALTINEX representative to discuss custom option s.
