A tamperproof, moisture proof data readout enclosure is comprised of a base plate adapted to be secured to a support structure and has channels formed in its rear surface. A cover adapted to be secured to the base plate has a sealing lip in its interior which cooperates with a seal on the base plate to provide a chamber within the enclosure which is sealed from the exterior environment when the cover is mounted on the base. The cover also has a peripherally extending wall which extends rearwardly from the front surface of the base plate and overlies the ends of the channels when the cover is secured in position. Openings are provided in the wall which register with the ends of the channels and locking pins are provided which project through the openings and the channels to prevent the removal of the cover from the base. Holes are provided on the locking pins to accommodate wires, the ends of which are sealed together to prevent removal of the locking pins without destruction of the integrity of the seal.
A tamperproof enclosure for a data readout device comprised of a base having a front wall, spacer means projecting rearwardly from said front wall terminating in a plane spaced rearwardly from said front wall, a cover comprised of a main body portion and mounted on said base, peripheral wall means formed on said cover bridging at least a portion of the space between said plane and said front wall and terminating in a free edge, openings in said peripheral wall means communicating with the space between said plane and said front wall, locking pin means received through said openings into the space between said plane and said front wall to prevent removal of said cover from said base.
