Abstract

Housing is provided for electronic circuitry that monitors the operation of a compressor. The housing includes a module containing the electrical circuitry as well as electrical connectors that connected the circuitry to external wiring. The module is mounted to an external housing member. The wiring inserts through an opening in the external housing member before being connect to the electrical connectors associated with the electronic module. Further openings in the housing member receive conduits carrying further wiring. The conduits extend outwardly from the housing member so as to allow the wiring in the conduits to be supported for an appreciable distance from the housing. A removable housing member is connected to the aforementioned housing member so as to cover the wiring connected to the electrical connectors associated with the electronic module. The removable housing member is easily removed from the aforementioned housing member so as to thereby allow access to the various connections of wiring to the electrical connectors associated with the electronic module.
