QUICK INSTALL GUIDE

Installing the Enphase IQ Commercial Envoy

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

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

IMPORTANT: Enphase IQ Commercial Envoy, IQ Envoy, and IQ Series Micros do not communicate with, and should not be used with, pre-

vious generation Enphase Microinverters and Envoys. Always use IQ Series Microinverters with an IQ Commercial Envoy or 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 Commercial Envoy to track system instal-

lation 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 Commercial Envoy (look for the IQ logo)

•

Three solid-core production metering current transformers (CTs)

•

Length of DIN rail for mounting

•

Enphase IQ Commercial Envoy Quick Install Guide (this document)

D ) If you plan to do consumption metering, make sure you have three 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 Commercial 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 Commercial Envoy to the Internet: Use

Wi-Fi, an Enphase 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). You must use a ferrite bead on the Ethernet

cable (we recommend Fair-Rite 0431167281).

•

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

Do not use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. You must use a ferrite

bead on the Ethernet cable (we recommend Fair-Rite 0431167281).

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 microinverters, peel the removable label from the

bottom of the IQ Commercial Envoy and afx it to the paper installa-

tion map.

•

Always keep a copy of the

installation map for your

records.

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

To ensure successful device detection, complete Part 2 after installing

any Enphase IQ Microinverters.

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

lation map at the back of the Enphase

IQ Microinverter Quick Install Guide.

Note: The consumption CTs monitor up to 200A of consumption current

and t conductors with a maximum outside diameter of 0.84” (21.33mm).

You can use up to two parallel connected consumption CTs for monitor-

ing up to two conductors. For conductors or bussing greater than 200A,

the consumption CTs shall not be installed or enabled.

INSTALLATION — Part 2 Once the update is finished and the PV system is installed, the Envoy is ready for 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). Method A // Provision devices with Installer Toolkit Use the Installer Toolkit mobile app to configure the IQ Commercial Envoy with the serial numbers of the installed devices.
