Product Improvements

PLUS Units - What is different?

  1. Due to needed improvements and parts going obsolete, OmniSite has redesigned the Crystal Ball and the XR50 to continue to support our customers for years to come.
  2. The Crystal Ball Plus and XR50 Plus are drop-in replacement for the Crystal Ball and XR50 classic.  No rewiring needed! Classic units will no longer be sold.  Classic units sent in for repair, may be upgraded to a Plus unit if it is not repairable. 
  3. 24VDC courtesy voltage.  This will allow the use of many two-wire 4-20mA devices without the need for a separate power supply.  The digital inputs are still capable of 12 to 120 volts, AC or DC
  4. Reduced number of internal cables and connectors, improving reliability.
    The carrier board and connector board have been integrated onto the main board and the OSMR plugs onto the back of the main board.
  5. Improved isolation on all four analog channels and the digital inputs.
  6. Many internal circuits were redesigned for increased reliability and components changed to newer designs, extending the life of the Crystal Ball.
  7. Increased internal memory capacity to allow for additional features.
  8. Over the air updates!  When bugs are fixed and features are added to the Crystal Ball, they will be able to be delivered over the air to the unit.
    Note: OmniSite will not install updates without first contacting and working with the customer.
  9. The initial release of the Crystal Ball Plus and XR50 Plus will have the same features as the classic units. Many new features are planned and will be released as developed.
  10. The Crystal Ball Plus and the XR50 Plus will be easily identified by the new yellow and black overlay

  1. The Unit ID number will be located on the front of the unit for easier identification.
  2. In the near future, the units will be shipped with a larger backup battery.
