Product About The Pro 140i

The Pro 140i is an industrial-class, in-building cell signal amplifier that boosts weak cell signals to improve indoor coverage area. It features up to +26 dBm uplink power and 90 dB gain for maintaining connections with faraway cell towers, and up to +25 dBm downlink power for improved indoor cell coverage area. The eXtended Dynamic Range (XDR) ensures continuous connectivity with automatic real-time adjustments so that the system never shuts down due to a strong outside signal. 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. The Pro 140i utilizes a color LCD screen for assessing amplifier performance and making necessary antenna adjustments.

Product Key Features

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.

Product Post-Install Setup

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. Inside Antenna and Outside Antenna should be connected to the corresponding ports. A Wilson Lightning Surge Protector (859902) is recommended for all building installations. Make sure the protector is installed outside the building. Connect it to a suitable ground and in line, between the Outside Antenna and the Signal Amplifier.

User Interface

The Pro 140i takes about five seconds to boot up. Once boot up is complete, the main screen will appear, showing the amplification and status of Band 14.

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).

Connect it to a suitable ground and in line, between the Outside Antenna and the Signal Amplifier.

Combined

Pro140i and Enterprise 1300 (Common Mode) combined.

Stand Alone

Stand-alone installation, providing cell coverage for Band 14 only.

User Interface

The Pro 140i takes about five seconds to boot up. Once boot up is complete, the main screen will appear, showing the amplification and status of Band 14.
“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.
“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.
“OSCILLATION” is displayed in yellow, indicating a significant oscillation is occurring and band gain has been reduced below 65 dB. Reposition antennas (increase separation between inside and outside antennas and point in opposite directions) and then reboot (turn the unit off, 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 off. Reposition antennas (increase separation between Outside and Inside Antenna, and point in opposite directions) and then reboot (turn the unit off & 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 off 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 off 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.
