2. Installation Procedures
Step 1. Refer to the ALTINEX website, www.altinex.com, to download the latest templates and instructions for
tabletop cutting requirements and installation. In order to do this, locate the PNP400/PNP408 on the
website and go to its detail page. The links to the templates, user's guide, and more are on the left-hand
side of the screen. The table can be 0.25-4.0 in (6-102 mm) thick.
Step 2. Print all installation information for the PNP400, including the templates and any detailed instructions.
Step 3. Mark the table's surface to indicate the correct positioning of the unit. The face of the unit is typically
parallel to the longest sides of the tables.
Step 4. Cut an opening into the table's surface. This operation should be performed by experienced professionals
in order to insure accuracy and to be aesthetically pleasing. Always confirm dimensions before cutting to
insure that specifications have not changed.
Step 5. Lower the PNP400/PNP408 into the opening in the table and make sure the bezel of the unit sits evenly in the table.
Step 6. From under the table, insert the mounting brackets into the slots on the side of the unit. See Diagram 6 of the online manual for details. Place the
brackets (one on each side) at the desired height for the table thickness and secure them to the bottom of the table using the thumb screws provided.
Step 7. Secure the power cord using the cable clamp provided. Pass the power cord (if any) from the bottom of the housing and attach it to the table leaving a
service loop beneath the unit. Before tightening the clamp, open and close the unit from the top several times. Set the service loop for smooth
operation only. Do not leave excessive cable hanging below the table.
Step 8. Secure PNP400/PNP408 signal cables separate from the power cord. All cables should have a service loop to allow the unit to open and close easily.
Step 9. Once you have connected power and the proper cables to the unit, you may raise the unit. To raise the PNP400/PNP408 into position, press the top of
the unit.
