(enphase.com/en-uk/warranties). Follow all of the instructions in this manual. These instructions are key to the installation and maintenance of the Enphase AC Battery™. These instructions are not meant to be a complete explanation of how to design and install an energy storage system. All installations must comply with national and local electrical codes and standards.

Do not work alone. Someone should be within hearing distance or close enough to come to your aid when you work with or near electrical equipment. Do not use the CAN port on the AC Battery. It is intended to be used by Enphase technicians only. WARNINGS: Install the AC Battery only on a structurally suitable wall using an Enphase wall-mount bracket.

When replacing an Enphase AC Battery, you must replace it with an AC Battery of the same type, with the same AC current rating. When stored, the AC Battery is not connected to the grid and no automatic charge of the battery is possible.
The Enphase AC Battery The Enphase AC Battery™ is the heart of the Enphase Storage System. The AC Battery is simple to install, safe, very reliable, and provides a low lifetime energy cost for customers with both, new solar installations and retrofitted installations.
Planning The Enphase AC Battery is controlled by the Enphase Envoy-S Metered gateway. The AC Battery cannot function without receiving commands from the Envoy-S. It is, therefore, critical that the Envoy-S and AC Battery(ies) are located as close as possible to each other. The Envoy should be located within 20m (electrically) from the AC Battery(ies).
DANGER! Risk of electric shock. Check that the dedicated circuit breaker protecting the branch where the AC Battery is to be connected is turned off before wiring. WARNING! Risk of equipment damage. Never connect an Enphase AC Battery junction box to two active conductors. Always connect to one Line (active) and one Neutral.
WARNING: Risk of injury and equipment damage. Avoid dropping the AC Battery. Doing so may create a hazard, cause serious injury, and/or damage the equipment. WARNING: Before mounting the Enphase AC Battery, ensure that the junction box cover is secured! WARNING: Take care when lifting the AC Battery.
The AC Battery LED should flash yellow for the duration of the start-up process. If the LED does not flash yellow, see the corresponding section under Troubleshooting. d. Use the Enphase Installer Toolkit to commission the AC Battery(ies). Once connected to the Envoy, refer to the Installer Toolkit help topics for more information.
(up to 30 minutes). After the AC Battery boots up, the LED glows blue or green depending on the charge level. If the LED flashes yellow after one hour or changes to flashing red, contact Enphase Customer Support enphase.com/en-us/support/global-contact...
The following sections describe possible problems and solutions. During installation, use the Enphase Installer Toolkit mobile app to verify AC Battery operation. The Installer Toolkit, when used with Envoy-S provides information about the AC Battery status, PV production, and home energy consumption.
Enable force charge, and set the time, to charge the batteries irrespective of other priorities. Battery LED is Off or Flashing Red If the AC Battery is not working correctly, perform the following steps. If the issue persists, contact Enphase Customer Support at enphase.com/en-us/support/global-contact.
DANGER! Risk of electrocution! Do not disconnect the consumption CT leads from the terminal block while the sensed circuit is energised. DANGER! Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. Do not attempt to repair the Enphase AC Battery; it contains no user-serviceable parts. Tampering with or opening the Enphase AC Battery will void the warranty.
10. If additional AC batteries are installed, re-energise the system at the main switchboard. 11. If an Enphase Customer Support has authorised an AC Battery replacement (RMA), follow the instructions provided by Enphase Customer Support for arranging the collection and transportation of the AC Battery.
Replacing the AC Battery NOTE: When replacing an Enphase AC Battery, you must replace it with an AC Battery of the same type, with the same AC current rating. Follow the steps in “5. Mount the AC Battery on the Wall” starting on page 14. After installing the new AC Battery, do the following: 1.
