GENERAL
The TNP500 designed for installation into a table in a
presentation or boardroom, the Tilt `N Plug™
Configurable Tabletop Interconnect Box provides
access to multi-media input connections when
needed, and hides them when not needed. This unit
can be configured with a wide variety of data or A/V
connectors before shipment from ALTINEX.
Using a tilting angular construction with pneumatic lift
assist and a mechanical latching mechanism, the
TNP500 can either "tilt up" into a raised position to
provide access to input plates, or it can be lowered
flush into the table when not in use. The unit is
opened and closed by pressing down on the top
panel.

Note that, while the TNP500 is similar in many ways
to its predecessor (TNP100), it actually performs the
lifting function internally, and does not require the user
to lift the faceplate up. Only light pressure is required
to unlatch the top to open it, and slightly more
pressure to push the lid down and close the unit.
