Verifying Wireless Communication During or After

Commissioning

During or after commissioning, you can verify wireless communication be-

tween IQ Envoy or IQ Combiner and Enpower smart switch and Encharge

Batteries using the Enphase Installer Toolkit mobile app

A ) Ensure that the IQ Envoy or IQ Combiner and Enpower are energized.

A ) Ensure that the AC circuit feeding the Encharge Batteries is turned on

and that all Encharge Batteries have their DC switches turned ON.

B ) Ensure you have followed the Enphase Installer Toolkit instructions

to add arrays, Enphase Microinverters, Enpower smart switch and

Encharge Battery(ies) to your system.

C ) Log into Enphase Installer Toolkit on your mobile device

D ) On the IQ Envoy, if the AP Mode LED is not lit, press the AP Mode

button .

E ) On your mobile device, go to Settings and join the Wi-Fi network

“Envoy_nnnnnn” (where “nnnnnn” represents the nal six digits of the

Envoy serial number).

F ) In the Enphase Toolkit Mobile app use the Connect to an Envoy option

to open the system details.

G ) On the Overview tab under Wireless Connection Links, you can view

the overall status of wireless communication between IQ Envoy or IQ

Combiner and Enpower smart switch.

H ) On the Enpower tab, you can view the status of wireless communica-

tion between IQ Envoy or IQ Combiner and Enpower smart switch. You

can also view separate wireless communication levels for the 2.4GHz

and sub-GHz bands.

I ) On the Encharge tab, you can view the status of wireless communica-

tion between IQ Envoy or IQ Combiner and each Encharge 3 Bat-

tery(ies). You can also view separate wireless communication levels

for 2.4GHz and sub-GHz bands.

Note: Three or more bars (out of ve) represents good communication

level. The system continuously monitors and automatically chooses

the band thats shows best performance.

Upgrade the IQ Envoy Software

You must upgrade the IQ Envoy software to version 6.0.x or higher to

work with the COMMS-KIT-01 and other Ensemble components.

A ) Download the Enphase Installer Toolkit mobile

app and open it to log in to your Enlighten ac-

count. With this app, you can connect to the IQ

Envoy to track system installation progress. To

download, go to enphase.com/toolkit or scan

the QR code at right.

B ) Log into Enphase Installer Toolkit on your mobile device to down-

load the latest version of Envoy software. To do so, go to the

Envoy Resources screen in the Installer Toolkit settings.

C ) Ensure that the circuit feeding the IQ Envoy is turned on. For an IQ

Combiner, the Envoy breaker must be turned on.

D ) On the IQ Envoy, if the AP Mode LED is not lit, press the AP Mode

button .

E ) On your mobile device, go to Settings and join the Wi-Fi network

“Envoy_nnnnnn” (where “nnnnnn” represents the nal six digits of the

Envoy serial number).

F ) The app informs you if the software on the Envoy is not the latest

version by displaying the Envoy Software Update message. If the

app displays this message, follow the on-screen instructions to

update the Envoy.

G ) For a short period (5-10 minutes), you must keep your mobile device

near the Envoy. Follow the on-screen instructions while the update

takes place.

Note: The update may take up to 20 minutes. The Envoy reboots several

times during the update and the LEDs light up in varied sequenc-

es until the update is complete. All four LEDs ash amber during

boot up (approximately 3 minutes). When boot up is complete,

the Envoy’s Device Communications LED lights solid amber,

indicating that devices are not yet detected.
