How can the CMWD system be activated?

The CMWD (Continuous Wave Movable Deck) system can be activated using local switches near the check valves. This method allows for direct control by operators who are physically present in the vicinity of the check valves, ensuring that they can quickly and conveniently operate the system as needed. This localized activation is beneficial in enhancing safety and efficiency, as it minimizes the response time in activating the system when required.

While remote control and manual activation could theoretically be options, they may not be the primary or most efficient means of activating the CMWD system. Additionally, the ability for any crew member to activate it may depend on specific safety protocols or training requirements, which might limit accessibility to certain personnel. Thus, the best option for activation aligns with the practical and immediate control afforded by the local switches.
