TABLE TOP SOLUTIONS
• 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.
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 / CE 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 instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to

expressly approved by ALTINEX, Inc. could
void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
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
3

TABLE TOP SOLUTIONS
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.
