PRO 140i INDUSTRIAL-CLASS, IN-BUILDING CELL SIGNAL AMPLIFIER 3
The Pro 140i industrial-class, in-building, cell
signal amplifier provides significantly enhanced
band 14 (700MHz) signal strength, supporting
4G LTE and 5G technology. The Pro 140i can
be installed as either a “stand-alone” amplifier
providing exclusive band 14 amplification, or
it can be combined with a new or existing
WilsonPro amplifier system, supporting multiple
bands. Because the Pro 140i is an industrial
class amplifier, local band 14 carrier approval
must be obtained for every installation.
The Pro 140i also incorporates Wilson Electronics’ state-of-the-art XDR (eXtended
Dynamic Range) technology that prevents signal overload conditions which can, in
accordance with regulations, force the amplifier to shut down. When the Pro 140i
senses that any incoming cell signal is too strong and threatens to overload the
system, XDR automatically reduces amplifier gain to compensate while maintaining
signal coverage throughout the building. The Pro 140i incorporates an easy-to-use
color LCD screen, and both antenna ports are located on the top of the unit for simple
installation. Like all WilsonPro cell signal amplifiers, the Pro 140i amplifier system is
universal: it works for all cellular devices, and all U.S. and Canada cell phone carriers
using band 14 (700MHz).

INDUSTRIAL-CLASS IN-BUILDING, CELL SIGNAL AMPLIFIER PRO 140i

Industrial-Class Amplification: Up to 100,000 sq. ft. of Band 14
(700MHz) coverage with a single amplifier (local carrier approval
required for each installation).
Extended Dynamic Range (XDR) for continuous connectivity:
XDR allows the Pro 140i system to make automatic, real-time
adjustments so it never shuts down due to a strong outside signal.
Onboard Software for Better Control: The amplifier is
automatically controlled with built-in onboard software, ensuring
reliable connectivity throughout large spaces and multi-story
buildings. The amplifier will adjust its gain level up or down as
required by the conditions of the immediate signal environment.
Color LCD Screen: The Pro 140i utilizes a color LCD screen for
assessing amplifier performance and making necessary
antenna adjustments.

Features

PRO 140i INDUSTRIAL-CLASS, IN-BUILDING CELL SIGNAL AMPLIFIER 5
The Pro 140i is designed with advanced internal programming, which allows it to
automatically adjust for a variety of conditions, while still amplifying weak signals.
Once the antenna cables are connected, turn the unit ON by inserting and twisting the
power supply cord until it is securely locked in place.

The Pro 140i takes about thirty seconds to boot up. Once boot up is complete, the main
screen will appear, showing the amplification and status of Band 14.
Startup Screen
“FULL GAIN” is displayed in green if there is a weak outside signal requiring the
amplifier to operate with maximum allowable gain. The amplifier is functioning normally;
however, a stronger signal might be obtained with some antenna adjustments.

“XDR GAIN” is displayed in green, indicating that the amplifier has reduced its gain to
accommodate a moderate to strong outside signal. The amplifier is functioning normally
and no adjustments are needed.
(User Interface cont.)
“OSCILLATION” is displayed in green, indicating that the amplifier has reduced its gain
to accommodate a moderate oscillation condition. The amplifier is operating normally;
however, a better performance might be obtained with some antenna adjustments.

PRO 140i INDUSTRIAL-CLASS, IN-BUILDING CELL SIGNAL AMPLIFIER 9
(User Interface cont.)
“OSCILLATION” is displayed in yellow, indicating a significant oscillation is occurring
and band gain has been reduced below 60 dB. Reposition antennas (increase
separation between inside and outside antennas and point in opposite directions) and
then reboot (turn the unit o, then on) the Pro140i to reactivate Band 14 and maximize
performance. When adequate separation is achieved, the yellow color will return to
green upon reboot. Note: when the color is yellow, the band is Operational; however,
performance is reduced.
“SHUTDOWN” is displayed in red, indicating severe or repeated oscillations have
occurred and the amplifier has shut o. Reposition antennas (increase separation
between Outside and Inside Antenna, and point in opposite directions) and then
reboot (turn the unit o & on) the Pro 140i to reactivate Band 14 and maximize
performance. When adequate separation is achieved, the red color will return to
green upon reboot.

Each Signal Booster is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Signal Booster cannot be
adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Booster will amplify, but not alter
incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Booster
is not in use for five minutes, it will reduce gain until a signal is detected. If a detected signal is too high in a frequency
band, or if the Signal Booster detects an oscillation, the Signal Booster will automatically turn the power o on that
band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1
minute. After 5 (five) such automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut o until the Signal Booster
has been manually restarted by momentarily removing power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity
are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Wilson Electronics could void the authority
to operate this equipment.
