Thermal Radiation Cube (Leslie’s Cube)
The TD-8554A Radiation Cube (Figure 2) provides
four different radiating surfaces that can be heated
from room temperature to approximately 120 °C. The
cube is heated by a 100 watt light bulb. Just plug in
the power cord, flip the toggle switch to “ON”, then
turn the knob clockwise to vary the power.
Measure the cube temperature by plugging your
ohmmeter into the banana plug connectors labeled
THERMISTOR. The thermistor is embedded in one
corner of the cube. Measure the resistance, then use
Table 1, below, to translate the resistance reading into a
temperature measurement. An abbreviated version of
this table is printed on the base of the Radiation Cube.
ä NOTE: For best results, a digital ohmmeter
should be used. (See the current PASCO catalog
for recommended meters.)
ä IMPORTANT: When replacing the light
bulb, use a 100-Watt bulb. Bulbs of higher
power could damage the cube.
CAUTION: Cube may be HOT!
