Do not place heavy objects on top of the
Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™. Do not use excessive force to push down on the top of the unit.
To turn off the main power, disconnect the power cord, which powers the power socket on the Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™ pop up panel only. The power outlet used should be installed as near to the equipment as possible and should 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. Do not force or pull out any cable or power cord that is attached to the
Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™ Interconnect Box.

ABOUT YOUR Tilt 'N Plug Jr.™ 2
Tilt 'N Plug Jr. ™'s are members of a family of
compact interconnection solutions designed for installation into a table in a presentation system. These products are designed for mounting into a table, podium, or other furniture to provide a way of connecting audio/visual equipment on top of the furniture to a presentation system below the furniture.
All use the same core element; a multimedia input plate that can be "tilted" open when needed and pushed closed when not needed.
The TNP122/142/ 152/162 incorporates two Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™ individual tower modules, the TNP123 incorporates three individual modules and the TNP124 incorporates four individual modules. Each module can be operated independently; the TNP124/152 can service from one to four users simultaneously. During installation of the TNP122/123/152/162, the individual tower modules can be reversed to face opposite directions through a simple field-modification to the bezel. This alternative configuration is handy for applications in which the TNP122/123/152/162 needs to service two sides of a table simultaneously. Note that the TNP142 is the same as a TNP122 but with the modules factory­installed facing in opposite directions.
The TNP131 is the same as a TNP121 but with a round bezel instead of square. The TNP162 is a dual module configuration with a TNP121 module and a
TNP151 module side by side. The TNP124 is a quad TNP121 with two rows of twin modules facing in
opposite directions; the modules in the TNP124 cannot be reversed.
The TNP421/431/441/451 are international models with power connectors for specific countries. The
TNP421 has a standard "Schuko" receptacle for

most European countries, the TNP431 is for the U.K., Singapore and Hong Kong, the TNP441 is for Australia and New Zealand and the TNP451 is for South Africa. Versions of the TNP121/122/123/124/131/142 with a universal IEC320 connector instead of the U.S. power connector are also available.
All signals are passed through the input plate to cables on the underside of the table without passing through any circuitry. In some applications, the use of additional ALTINEX signal management solutions — such as computer video interfaces, distribution amplifiers, and switchers — may be desirable.
The input plate on the Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™ is accessed by pushing down on the top cover, which will then auto-tilt open into view with help from a pneumatic spring inside the unit. Once opened, 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 table top, held in place by the latching mechanism.
All Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™ solutions come with a standard top and bezel offering a high quality matte black finish. Other optional finishes — Fine Antique Brass, Satin Blush White Gold, Fine Antique Chrome, Antique Copper, Crystallite Copper, Bright Gold, Bright Silver and Brushed Aluminum— are available on a custom order basis. Also, special bezel configurations may be available for large custom orders. Please contact an ALTINEX representative to discuss custom options.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 7
Step 1. Cut an opening into the table’s surface.
Refer to the ALTINEX website at www.altinex.com for table cutout requirements . Note: The table can be 3 inches or thinner in thickness. Always confirm dimensions before cutting to insure that specifications have not changed.

allowing the pneumatic spring to raise it into position.
Step 7. To lower the unit, push on the top of the
Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™ until it locks into place.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8
The Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™ supplied unit was carefully tested and no problems were detected. However, we would like to offer the following suggestions:
Step 2. Insert the your Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™ 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 your Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™. Attach the brackets to the groove at the desired height and secure them to the bottom of the table using the #6-32 screw. There are two support brackets for each module, one for each side of the unit (see Diagram 3). For the TNP124 model, only the outer sides of each module will have a bracket placed in the grooves for a total of four.
Step 4. Secure the cables by using the provided
cable clamps and screws. Pass the power cord from the bottom of the housing and attach it to the table using the cable clamp and screw supplied with the your Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™. 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 5. Connect the appropriate cables with the
correct input connectors on the bottom of the unit.
Please make sure that the highest quality network cables are used.
Make sure that no cable or power cord is damaged or pinched. If there has been damage, then do not use the Tilt ‘N Plug Jr.™. Immediately contact the ALTINEX Customer Service Department to have the unit repaired.
