QUICK INSTALL GUIDE

Installing the Enphase IQ Envoy

To install the Enphase IQ Envoy™, read and follow all warnings and instructions in this Guide and in the Enphase IQ Envoy

Installation and Operation Manual at: enphase.com/support. Safety warnings are listed on the back of this guide.

IMPORTANT: Enphase IQ Envoy and IQ 6 and IQ 6+ Micros do not communicate with, and should not be used with, previous generation

Enphase Microinverters and Envoys. Always use IQ 6 and/or IQ6+ Microinverters with an IQ Envoy.

PREPARATION

A ) Download the Enphase Installer Toolkit mobile app and

open it to log in to your Enlighten account. 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 ) Download the latest version of the software to your mobile device. To do

so, go to the Envoy Resources screen in the Installer Toolkit Settings.

C ) Check the box for the following items:

•

Enphase IQ Envoy (look for the orange IQ logo)

•

Solid-core production metering current transformer (CT)

•

Length of DIN rail for mounting

•

Ferrite bead to attach to your Ethernet Cable, if used

•

Enphase IQ Envoy Quick Install Guide (this document)

D ) If you plan to do consumption metering, make sure you have two split-

core consumption metering CTs (order CT-200-SPLIT).

E ) Check that there is enough space in the load center to install CTs.

Do not install CTs where they exceed 75% of the wiring space of any

cross-sectional area within the load center.

F ) Install the IQ Envoy in a NRTL Certied, NEMA type 3R (or better)

enclosure with conduit attachment when installing outdoors. Do not

drill holes on the top of the enclosure or anywhere that allows moisture

ingress. Metallic enclosures may impair Wi-Fi signal strength. Use an

appropriately rated enclosure if installing indoors.

G ) Decide how to connect the IQ Envoy to the Internet: Use Wi-Fi, an En-

phase Mobile Connect modem, or Ethernet. Then, make sure you have

the following optional items, if needed:

•

Enphase Mobile Connect modem [order CELLMODEM-01 (3G) or

CELLMODEM-03 (4G)]

•

Ethernet over power line communication (PLC) bridge with Ethernet

cables (order EPLC-01)

•

Ethernet cable [802.3, Cat5E or Cat6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP)].

Do not use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.

H ) Create a paper installation map to record device serial numbers and

positions in the array. You will scan this map later using Installer Toolkit

and your mobile device.

•

As you do with the micro-

inverters (and Enphase AC

Batteries, if installed), peel

the removable label from the

bottom of the IQ Envoy and

afx it to the paper installation map.

•

Always keep a copy of the installation map for your records.

I ) Note that installation of the IQ Envoy has two parts.

To ensure successful device detection, complete Part 2 after installing

any Enphase IQ Microinverters and/or Enphase AC Battery(ies).

Note: If needed, you can nd an instal-

lation map at the back of the Enphase

IQ Microinverter Quick Install Guide.

INSTALLATION — Part 1 You can complete Installation Part 1 before or after installing the PV system. For steps 2 and 3, refer to the wiring diagram on the next page. 1 Choose a location for the IQ Envoy WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. When installing the IQ Envoy in an enclosure, choose area for installation where ambient temperature does not exceed 46º C (115º F).

INSTALLATION — Part 2 You must complete Installation Part 2 after installing the PV system. 4 Detect Devices Use one of the following methods to detect devices (Enphase Microinverters and/or Enphase AC Batteries). Method A // Provision devices with Installer Toolkit Use the Installer Toolkit mobile app to configure the IQ Envoy with the serial numbers of the installed devices. A ) Launch the Installer Toolkit app and tap View Systems. B ) Select the system you are working with, or tap [+] to add a system.
