1. Precautions and Safety Warnings
Please read this manual carefully before using your Tilt 'N Plug Jr.
Interconnect Box. Keep this manual handy for future reference. These safety
instructions are to ensure the long life of your Tilt 'N Plug Jr. 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 Tilt 'N Plug Jr. 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 unit 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 Tilt 'N Plug Jr. 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.
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 requirements.
Note: The table can be 2.25” or less in thickness. Always confirm dimensions before cutting to insure that specifications have not changed.
Step 2. Insert the Tilt 'N Plug Jr. into the table cutout.
Step 3. Place the support brackets under the table between the support mount grooves on the side
of the 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 thumb screws provided.
Step 4. Secure the cables by using the provided cable clamps and screws included with the unit.
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 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.
Step 6. Once you have applied power and connected the proper cables on the bottom of the unit
you may raise the unit. To raise the Tilt 'N Plug Jr. 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.
Step 7. To lower the unit, push on the top of the Tilt 'N Plug Jr. until it locks into place.
3. Limited Warranty/Return Policies
Please see the ALTINEX website at www.altinex.com for details on warranty and return policies.
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.
Disconnect the power cord to turn off the power. This supplies power to
the 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 any cable that is attached to the Tilt 'N Plug Jr.

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.

5. About Your Tilt 'N Plug Jr. Interconnect Box
All Tilt 'N Plug Jr. products belong to a family of compact interconnection solutions
designed for installation into a table as part of a presentation system. They are
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.
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 and TNP142 each incorporate two Tilt 'N Plug Jr. modules and are
operated independently. The TNP142 is the same as a TNP122, but with the
modules factory-installed facing in opposite directions. The TNP131 is the same as a
TNP121, but with a round bezel instead of a square bezel, the TNP141 is a TNP151
with a round bezel, and the TNP126 is a TNP125 with a round bezel.
All signals pass through the input plate directly to cables on the underside of the
table with no intervening circuitry. The use of additional ALTINEX Signal
Management Solutions such as computer video interfaces, distribution amplifiers,
and switchers may be desirable.
The input plate of the Tilt 'N Plug Jr. is 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, held in place by the latching mechanism.
All Tilt 'N Plug Jr. Signal Management Solutions come with a standard top and bezel offering a high quality matte black finish. Models ending S come with a
brushed aluminum finish. Other finishes or special bezel configurations are available upon request. Please contact an ALTINEX representative to discuss custom
options.
