16 - Getting Started - System Overview
System Overview
The Quark Series consists of the following main parts:
•
Quark unit
•
Flowmeter
•
Breathing valve (if required)
•
Additional external sensors and devices (temperature-humidity, HR, oximeter)
Quark Unit
The Quark unit contains the following elements:
•
Power switch (located on the front panel)
•
Connectors and ports (located on the rear panel)
Powering on the device
When the unit is plugged in, press the power switch on the front panel. The green led above the switch will turn on, indicating that the Quark is on
Powering off the device
Press the power switch on the front panel. The green led above the switch will turn off, indicating that the Quark is no longer powered on
Flowmeter(s)
Turbine Flowmeter
The turbine flowmeter assembly consists of a bidirectional turbine and an optoelectronic reader. The reader measures infrared light interruptions
caused by the spinning blade inside the turbine. The device may be used to measure a wide flow range and is not affected by ambient conditions
(pressure, humidity, room temperature, exhaled gas concentration). Daily calibration of the turbine is not necessary, however calibrations should be
performed regularly to ensure accurate measurements.
There are three turbine flowmeters: ID28, ID28 Spiro and ID18.
