DESCRIPTION AND THEORY OF OPERATION
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA
The MC-TWPS General Purpose Cover is a single piece, water-proof, fabric covering that can be used
during deployment to shield the equipment from precipitation and blowing dust and sand (see Figure 4).
Straps inside and outside the cover are used to secure the cover to the TWPS frame. Zippered and hook
and loop seams at the four corners and in two locations at the front (1) make it possible to separate and
roll up and secure individual wall panels for access or ventilation. By releasing snaps and straps around
the top of the cover over the operator station, the top can be expanded at that end so that a roof over the
operator station can be raised without removing the cover. Sleeves with a hook and loop seam and cinch
cord are incorporated to provide access for connecting power cables (2) and inlet (3) and discharge (4)
hoses to the TWPS. Hook and loop panels are incorporated to provide access to four rail transport tie-
down rings (5). A fifth panel (6) provides access to lift and tie-down instruction plates.
