The PNP200 is designed for installation into a
conference room table. The Pop ‘N Plug™
Interconnect Box (PNP200) provides a means of
connecting audio, video, control, and computer
video sources into a presentation system. It is ideal
for use together with Altinex computer video
interfaces. The Pop ‘N Plug™ Interconnect Box can
either “pop up” into a raised position to provide
access to connectors or it can be lowered into a
table when not in use. Using a tower-type
construction with pneumatic suspension and an
electromagnetic latching mechanism does this.

eliminating the obstruction. The Pop ‘N Plug™
Interconnect Box has two input plates on either side
of the unit, servicing both sides of a table. Each
standard plate offers Computer Video (15-pin HD);
Composite Video (RCA), Audio (RCA), Computer
Audio (Stereo Mini), Modem (RJ-11), 9-pin D-type
RS-232 and Network (RJ-45) input connections. All
signals are passed through to a set of female

Step 1. Make sure the gas spring is not
compressed when you remove the locking
screw. To release the gas spring, push
down and turn the knob in the center of
the bottom of the PNP200 by 90 degrees.
Remove the lock down screw from the
PNP200. The locking screw is the
smallest silver colored screw that is
located on the bottom of the unit. Re-
engage the gas spring by pushing down
on the knob and turning it back to the
original position, thereby locking the gas
spring into place.
Figure 2: Support Plate
Step 4. Insert the PNP200 into the table. The
PNP200 can be adjusted to be flush or at
exactly the same level as the tabletop.
Turning the four-socket head set screws
on the top of the PNP200 does this. An
allen wrench provided with the PNP200 is
used to adjust the height level.
Step 5.Insert the four screws, which are provided,
into the adjustable retaining ring from
bottom side of the table. The adjustable
retaining ring allows securing unit to the
table. The adjustable retaining ring is a flat
square plate with two bent edges, that will
not fit into the hole in the table.
Figure 1: Gas Spring
Step 2. Cut an opening into the table’s surface
using the dimensions of 7.38 in x 6.05in.
Refer to diagram 5 on page 7 of the
manual 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.
Step 3. Place the support plate into the hole in the
table. The support plate is the square flat
plate that can fit into the hole in the table
(See Figure 2).
Figure 3: Insertion of Screws into the Adjustable
Retaining Ring
Step 6. Secure the cables by using the provided
mounting brackets. There are two
mounting brackets (See Figure 4). Pass
the power cord from the side of the
housing and attach it to the surface with
the cable-clamp supplied with the PNP200

OPERATION

Figure 4: Mounting Brackets
7.1 LOCK, RELEASE, STATUS CONTROL PINS
Step 7. Make that the provided ground wire
assembly is secured to the threaded nut
located on the bottom of the housing of the
PNP200 with a star-washer and a 4-40
screw as shown in Diagram 4, page 6.
To lock the position of the PNP200, connect
the LOCK pin of the terminal block to GND.
Note: the power supply is rated at 9V, but
since the current demand of the PNP200 is
low, it will reach 12 volts at the terminal block.
If a regulated power supply is used, it should
be a 12-volt power supply. A regulated power
supply is when the power supply is at 12 volts,
and when the power supply is at 9 volts, it is
known as unregulated.
Step 8.Attach the other end of the ground wire
assembly to a Protective Earth Ground
with provided 6-32 screw and star-washer.
Step 9.Connect the appropriate cables with the
correct input connectors. There are two
RCA connectors on each side of the
PNP200. The black connectors are known
as audio left, whereas the red connectors
are called audio right. On either side of the
unit, there is also a RCA video connector,
which is yellow in color. The network
connection is red; In addition, the
telephone or data connection is gray.
To release the top connector assembly,
connect the RELEASE pin of the terminal
block to GND.
To determine the status of the PNP200,
examine the STATUS pin. The status pin
should be a TTL digital level only. When the
PNP200 is in an up position 5 volts is present,
whereas 0 volts represents the down position.
Step 10. Once you have applied power and
connected the proper cables on the
bottom of the unit, you may raise the unit.
To raise the PNP200 into position, press
the top of the unit.
7.2 HOW TO RELEASE AND REPLACE THE GAS
SPRING
To replace the spring, push up, and turn the
knob in the center on the bottom of the
PNP200 by 90 degrees, thereby releasing the
gas spring.
Step 11. To lower the unit, push on the top of the
PNP200 until it fits into place. When the
9V DC adapter is plugged in, 9 volts must
be applied. Once the 9 volts have been
applied, the release top connection will be
engaged. This mechanism allows the unit
to lock into place, and then pop up when
pressure is put on the top of the unit.
Unscrew the knob, and then unscrew the gas
spring itself from the PNP200. Replace the
gas spring with a new one by screwing it in,
and then replacing the knob.
Re-engage the new gas spring by pushing up,
and turning the knob by 90 degrees. After you
have finished this step, you have completed
the installation.
