M-Series Internal and External Cover Plates (RTP)
Features and Installation Guide
Minimising mechanical damage to the membrane during installation and use
With versions available for both MDL and M-Series membranes, the cover plates reduce the risk of accidental mechanical damage to the membrane during and after installation. These low-cost covers are crucial in ensuring the integrity and longevity of the membrane under various conditions. The RTP versions are for installing on the M-Series membranes and offer an internal clip mount and external bolt on version. The CVP versions provide similar external protection for the MDL-Series.
Material and Design
Both covers are manufactured from durable mid-grey PETG plastic, chosen for its resilience and suitability for demanding environments. The material ensures that the covers not only protect the membrane but also withstand external conditions without compromising their functionality.
RTP cover sets for M-Series membranes
M-1J1R, M-2J1R, M-3M1R, M-3J1R, M-5J1R, M-7J1R, M-10J1R
Internal Cover
Example of an internal clip-on cover with a M3M1R
The internal cover is engineered for simplicity and efficiency. It clips directly onto the inside surface of the membrane, offering immediate protection during installation. The clip-on mechanism ensures a secure fit, reducing the risk of displacement or accidental removal.

External Cover
Example of an external cover for the M-3M1R
The external cover plate installs on the outside of the enclosure to protect the membrane. It uses the same bolts that secure the membrane in place, streamlining the installation process. This design allows for seamless integration with the additional protective measures listed below.
| Membrane | Cover set (internal and external) |
| M1J1R | M1J-RTP |
| M2J1R | M2J-RTP |
| M-3M1R | M3M-RTP |
| M-3J1R | M3J-RTP |
| M5J1R | M5J-RTP |
| M-7J1R | M7J-RTP |
| M10J1R | M10J-RTP |
Benefits
The thoughtful design and material choice of the RTP covers reflect a commitment to safeguarding the membrane against mechanical damage. Whether installed in standard or challenging conditions, these covers provide reliable protection while accommodating additional protective measures for enhanced durability.
CVP External Covers Plates for MDL-Series
The CVP membrane cover is installed on the outside of the enclosure. It uses the same bolts that secure the membrane in place, streamlining the installation process. This design also allows for seamless integration with other protective measures as seen below.
Additional Protective Measures
The RTP and CVP cover plates are compatible with enhanced membrane protection, including rain covers and environmental protective sheets to enhance the overall protection of the membranes in harsh or unpredictable environments.
