ABSTRACT:
A splashproof enclosure for use in mounting the electrical control circuits for connecting electric power to a sensor operated electric actuator for a toilet room plumbing device such as an electronic faucet includes a base and a cover mounted on the base. The base is formed and adapted to mount on a toilet room wall and has a power cord opening so that a power cord may enter said enclosure from the rear. There are spacing channels on the side of the base facing the toilet room wall to space the base from the wall to allow fluid to flow behind the enclosure. There is a dam positioned on the upper side of the power cord opening and extending toward the toilet room wall to divert fluid around the power cord opening. The cover is attached to the base and there are seal elements between the cover and base preventing the entry of fluid into the interior of the enclosure. There are cable entrance ports in the cover and the base providing a plurality of openings for cables for the sensor and electric actuators. Each of the cable entrance ports include ribs for securing the cables to the enclosure.
