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 personnel
or their authorized representatives must perform all service.
1.2 Installation Precautions
For best results, place in a dry area away from dust.
To prevent fire or shock, do not expose to water or
moisture. Do not place in direct sunlight, near heaters or
heat-radiating appliances, or near any liquid. Exposure to
direct sunlight, smoke, or steam can harm components.
Handle carefully; dropping or jarring can damage the bezel.
Never place fingers inside the opening on either side of the
unit; injury can occur due to sharp edges inside.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the TNP Jr. Do not
use excessive force to push down on the top of the unit.
Disconnect the power cord to turn off power; this powers
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 herein. Do not
force or pull any cable that is attached to the TNP Jr.
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 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 instructions found herein, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his expense.
Any changes or modifications to the unit not expressly
approved by Altinex, Inc. could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
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” thick or less. Always confirm dimensions before cutting to insure 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 and place them between the
support mount grooves on the side of the unit. Attach brackets to the groove at
and secure them to the table using the knurled screws. Tighten provided
wing nuts to secure screws on place.
Step 4. Secure the cables 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 TNP 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 by pushing
down on the front of the top cover. The latching mechanism releases and the unit raises into position. To lower the unit, push
on the top of the TNP Jr. until it locks into place.

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.
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 in S come with a brushed aluminum finish. Other finishes or special bezel configurations, including round bezels
(CM1293/CM12394) and black mirrored bezel (CM1271) are available upon request. Please contact an Altinex representative to
discuss custom options.
Stackable bezels are available in 2- (CM12462), 3- (CM12463), or 4- (CM12464) space configurations. These bezel frames enable
integrators to select any units from the TNP Jr. or CNK Jr. families to configure an interconnect box system easily tailored to the
customer’s requirements. Our new mounting frames make it easy to stack two interconnect boxes together using a dual frame. The
interconnects can face the same or opposite sides of the table. The 3up and 4up frames can be customized the same way, with
individual interconnects facing whichever side of the table the customer requires. Integrators can now select any of the TNP Jr. or CNK
Jr. units and specify these new stackable bezels to create a unique, multiple table top interconnect solution. Select from dual power
with USB charging, HDMI or VGA ports, or USB and network. Anything required for the most sophisticated meeting rooms can be
installed into the new Altinex stackable frames.
Models ending in W come with the added safety GFCI plug and are UL listed for use in kitchens, bathrooms, and countertops. They
can be safely installed into custom kitchen counters, bars, or any other location where water is typically splashed. The result is greater
installation flexibility for AV integrators and enhanced safety for end users that is backed by UL’s rigorous safety standards
