2. Installation Procedures 
Step 1. Refer to the ALTINEX website, www.altinex.com, to download the latest templates and instructions for 
tabletop cutting requirements and installation.  Search for the PNP400/PNP408 and go to its detail page. 
The links to the templates, user’s guide, and more are on the left-hand side of the screen.   
The table can be 0.25-4.0 in (6-102 mm) thick. 
Step 2. Print all installation information for the PNP400, including the templates and any detailed instructions. 
Step 3. Mark the table’s surface to indicate the correct positioning of the unit. The face of the unit is typically 
parallel to the longest sides of the tables. 
Step 4. Cut an opening into the table’s surface. This operation should be performed by experienced professionals 
in order to insure accuracy and to be aesthetically pleasing. Always confirm dimensions before cutting to 
insure that specifications have not changed.  
Step 5. Lower the PNP400/PNP408 into the opening in the table and make sure the bezel of the unit sits evenly in the table. 
Step 6. From under the table, insert the mounting brackets into the slots on the side of the unit. See Diagram 6 of the online manual for details. Place the 
brackets (one on each side) at the desired height for the table thickness and secure them to the bottom of the table using the thumb screws provided. 
Step 7. Secure the power cord using the cable clamp provided. Pass the power cord (if any) from the bottom of the housing and attach it to the table leaving a 
service loop beneath the unit. Before tightening the clamp, open and close the unit from the top several times. Set the service loop for smooth 
operation only. Do not leave excessive cable hanging below the table. 
Step 8. Secure PNP400/PNP408 signal cables separate from the power cord. All cables should have a service loop to allow the unit to open and close easily. 
Step 9. Once you have connected power and the proper cables to the unit, you may raise the unit into position by pressing the top of the unit. 
Step 10. To lower the unit, push on the top of the unit until it locks into place.  Do not use excessive force to press down on the pop-up

5. About Your PNP400 
   Dual side connectivity    Standard high-quality matte black or brushed aluminum finish 
   Gas spring for smooth operation  PNP400/PNP408:  Matte Black   PNP400S/PNP408S:  Brushed Aluminum 
   Simple, drop-in installation    Customizable connectors  
 
The PNP400/PNP408 Interconnect Tabletop Solution is designed for installation into a conference room table. The PNP400/PNP408 provides a means of 
connecting audiovisual, network, and power sources into a presentation system. The PNP400/PNP408 can pop up into a raised position to provide access to 
connectors, or it can be lowered into a table when not in use. The PNP400/PNP408 uses a tower-type construction with a gas spring to raise the interface into 
position above the tabletop. 
The PNP400 Interconnect has two openings on either side of the unit for 6 single-slot sectional panels, servicing both sides of a table. Available plates include 
combinations of audio, analog and digital video, network, USB and AC power connectors, providing extensive flexibility in a convenient package. These sectional 
plates are easy to install in the field, or can be custom pre-configured at ALTINEX to arrive in a ready-to-go package.  
The PNP408 is a package that covers the basic needs of many users and ships complete with 2 standard U.S. power receptacles,  computer video (15-pin HD) 
audio (3.5 mm),  standard HDMI, 2 network (RJ-45), and 2 USB (Type A) input connectors on each size of unit. All audiovisual connectors have 6 ft. (2 m) cables 
that feed through to the bottom of the unit.
