Envoy Installation and Operation

2. When the LCD screen displays “Enable Communication Check”, release the Menu button.

The LCD screen then reads:

The Envoy begins a 20-minute communications check to assess the signal strength between

the Envoy and the microinverters detected at the site. Until the Envoy begins detecting

microinverters, the display reads:

When the Envoy begins detecting microinverters, the display shows power line

communication Level and Device count:

To the right of the word “Level”, you’ll see brackets enclosing zero to five bars. The example

above shows three bars.

NOTE: Until microinverters are detected, the Level indicator shows no bars.

Signal strength is acceptable if three to five bars are displayed and all devices are accounted

for. One to two bars may not be sufficient for consistent communication.

3. If, after 15 minutes, fewer than three bars are displayed, refer to “Power Line Communication

Troubleshooting” on page 29.

The “Devices” counter displays the number of microinverters detected and will increase until

all microinverters are detected. Ultimately, the number of microinverters detected should

match the number of installed microinverters.

4. After 20 minutes, the communications check stops. To stop the communications check before

it times out, press and hold the menu button to activate the Envoy menu. When “Disable

Communication Check” is displayed, release the menu button.

1. Press and hold the Envoy Menu button. After two seconds the Envoy menu appears.

2. Continue holding the Menu button. When the LCD screen displays View Grid Configuration,
