1. In combination, a dynamoelectric machine and a machine diagnostic system for on-line diagnosis of the machine;
- the machine diagnostic system comprising a machine diagnostic module which collects data relating to operation of the machine and a package which is permanently mounted to an outer mounting surface of the machine, so that the machine diagnostic module recovers data from a same precise location on the outer mounting surface and comparison reliability of data collected at appropriate times is substantially increased; and
the package comprising a container which contains the machine diagnostic module and a heat dissipation device, positioned between the container and the outer mounting surface of the machine, which dissipates heat generated by the machine into surrounding air thereby minimizing heat transfer to the container.

Abstract
A machine diagnostic system for on-line diagnosis of a machine including a package for a machine diagnostic module that collects data relating to operation of the machine. The package is mounted to an outer mounting surface of the machine and includes a container which contains the machine diagnostic module. The package further includes a heat dissipation device between the container and the outer mounting surface of the machine which dissipates heat generated by the machine into surrounding air thereby minimizing heat transfer to the container.

23. A package for a diagnostic module of a dynamoelectric machine comprising:
-
a container to contain the diagnostic module; and
a heat dissipation device which includes a first set of fins, at least one of the fins having a base which engages an outer mounting surface of the machine and a tip which engages the container whereby heat is conducted through the base towards the tip and is transferred by convection into the surrounding air; andmeans for substantially increasing comparison reliability of collected data.
