WILSON PRO
4000R
The WilsonPro 4000R is the first rack mounted, cell booster to incorporate four
separate signal amplifiers feeding multiple indoor antennas. The 4000R literally
delivers the power of four boosters in a single rack mount unit, and provides cell
coverage for up to 100,000 square feet of indoor space, or even more depending on
the strength of the incoming signal from the tower.
Designed to provide enhanced in-building cellular coverage for all commercial
spaces, including hospitals, hotels, warehouses and oces, the WilsonPro 4000R
amplifies weak cell signals to provide reliable voice and data coverage – including 4G
– to inside spaces where signals may not penetrate. Adjustable uplink and downlink
gain controls on each band make it easy to customize the cell phone booster for any
specific signal environment.
Like all WilsonPro cellular signal boosters, the WilsonPro 4000R features cell
site protections that auto-detect and prevent any cell tower interference. Wilson
Electronics quality and an industry-leading three-year warranty make the 4000R a
clear choice for the professional technology integrator.

Easy rack-mounted installation: The 4000R is intended to fit into
an existing server rack. This design allows for a neat and clean
installation while leaving the unit easily accessible.
Onboard Software for Better Control: Each indoor antenna path is
independently and automatically controlled with onboard software,
ensuring great connectivity throughout large spaces and multi-story
buildings. Since all ports are independently controlled, each can
adjust its gain level up or down as required by the conditions of the
immediate signal environment without disrupting coverage from any
other antenna.
Extra Dynamic Range (XDR) for continuous connectivity: Gives
the 4000R much greater tolerance than any competing booster for
a strong incoming signal from the tower. XDR lets the 4000R system
work with an incoming signal up to 10 dB stronger than any competing
booster can tolerate, before overloading and shutting down.
Color LCD for Easier Access: Unlike other boosters, the Wilson
4000R has a color LCD screen with four-way navigation, allowing
integrators to have easy and eective control of the product.

Highest Downlink Power: Up to +12dB more downlink power than
the competition allows for stronger signal in environments where
the incoming signal is weak,. The benefit is a stronger signal sent to
the inside antennas, providing larger coverage area from a single
booster.
Highest Uplink Power: This allows for a stronger signal transmitted
to the tower, up to +3dB more than the competition, providing greater
user capacity and increased range from the cell site.
Lower Overload and Shutdown Threshold: This allows the booster
to work with a stronger incoming signal, up to +10dB stronger, before
overloading and shutting down. This is a huge benefit in strong signal
environments like cities and locations close to a carrier tower.
Intelligent Control: WilsonPro cellular boosters automatically adjust
signal gain while still providing even signal coverage throughout the
building.
Sophisticated Software: Cellular signals are constantly fluctuating.
The software is always monitoring signal levels and making imme-
diate adjustments as needed, allowing the booster to operate at
maximum gain consistently.

Post Install
Setup
The WilsonPRO 4000R is designed with advanced internal programming, which allows
it to automatically adjust for a variety of conditions, while still boosting weak signals.
Once the AC power cable and antenna cables are connected, turn the unit on by
toggling the power switch located near the AC power receptacle, located at the rear
of the unit.

After the WilsonPRO splash screen appears for a few seconds, the status screen,
showing the amplification status of each port and band, will appear.
A solid green light indicates that a
band/port is operating correctly with
maximum allowable gain.
A yellow light with a red slash indicates
that gain for that band/port has been
reduced due to a detected oscillation
condition. Oscillation is caused by
insucient isolation (separation and
direction) between the outdoor (donor)
antenna and one or more indoor
antennas, for indicated band port. The
amplifier IS working, but overall system
gain has been reduced. If indoor
coverage is insucient, attempt to
increase antenna isolation (separation
and direction).

________
(LIGHTS DESCRIPTION cont.)
A solid yellow light indicates band/
port gain has been reduced because
of the oscillation condition detected at
a nearby band/port. Once the antenna
isolation (separation and direction) is
corrected at the indicated port(s), the
solid yellow light will change to green.
A red light indicates a band/port for
which has been completely shut
down by the amplifier’s internal
microprocessor. If the amplifier is
correctly installed, this should not
occur. Contact WilsonPRO technical
support if you see a red light.
