IoT 5-Band
Direct-Connect Cell Signal Amplifier
The WilsonPro IoT 5-Band is a “Direct-Connect” solution for amplifying cellular
network capable equipment and devices, including vending machines, ATMs,
security panels, and cellular “hotspots”. The IoT 5-Band is “carrier agnostic” and pre-
approved by all major cell carriers under FCC “part 20” rules. No additional carrier
or FCC approvals are required.
The IoT 5-band is available in three dierent kit options: 460119: basic kit with
traditional a/c power supply, 460219: with “hard-wired” DC power supply (for
supplying power from a vehicle or similar power source), and the 461119 Security Kit
which includes MMCX cables for interfacing with security control panel cell modems,
and an outside antenna.

GREEN
This indicates that your amplifier is functioning properly and there are no issues
with installation.
SOLID RED
Band has shuto. This is due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is
a built in safety feature that causes a band to shut oto prevent harmful interference
with a nearby cell tower. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
BLINKING GREEN, RED
This indicates that the amplifier is operating at a reduced gain to prevent
oscillation (feedback).
LIGHTS OFF
If the Signal Amplifier’s light is o, verify your power supply has power.

FIXING RED LIGHT ISSUES
This involves Solid Red & Blinking Green/Red lights.
■Make sure all connections are tight. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply.
■Increase the distance (horizontally or vertically) between the Outside Antenna and
the amplifier. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply.
LIGHTS OFF
■Check connections on the power supply to see that it is firmly plugged into both
the amplifier and the power source.

Specifications
The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. Each Signal Amplifier is individually tested and
factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Amplifier cannot be adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Amplifier will amplify, but not
alter incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Amplifier 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 Amplifier detects an oscillation, the Signal Amplifier will automatically
turn the power off on that band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Amplifier will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1 minute. After 5 (five) such
automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Amplifier has been manually restarted by momentarily removing power from the Signal
Amplifier. Noise power, gain, and linearity are maintained by the Signal Amplifier’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 LLC could void the authority to operate this equipment. This device contains licence-
exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Wilson Electronics LLC could void the authority to operate this equipment.
