LED Behaviour at Initial Start Up

When the IQ Gateway starts up for the first time, it goes through the initial boot sequence. During this
initial boot sequence, all the IQ Gateway LEDs are flashing red. If the IQ Gateway retrieves a software
update soon after connecting to the Internet, the LEDs flash green sequentially during the upgrade.
WARNING! Risk of Equipment Damage. Do not remove power from the IQ Gateway if
the LEDs are flashing green sequentially. This indicates that a software upgrade is in
progress.

Initial Communications Check

The IQ Gateway normally indicates no Internet connection for two to three minutes after the first start up.
It then sends the first report to Enlighten. When Enlighten responds, the Network Communications LED
lights solid green, indicating an Internet connection to Enlighten.

More about Microinverter Communications States

A detected microinverter is one that has been discovered via the Envoy's device scan or provisioned via
Installer Toolkit or Enlighten.
The states of the Microinverter Communications LED
whether the installer has provided an expected number of microinverters. If you have NOT provided the
expected number of microinverters either through the Activation form or in Installer Toolkit, the LED
displays as described in the "No expected number provided" column. If you have provided the
expected number of microinverters in the Activation form or in Installer Toolkit, this LED displays as
described in the "Expected number provided" column. If the Envoy has been provisioned with the
serial numbers of the microinverters, this displays as described in the "With provisioning" column.
State No expected number

Green Solid All discovered devices are

communicating.
Red At least one of the

discovered devices is not
communicating.

Initiate a New Scan for Microinverters

The IQ Gateway identifies each device by its unique serial number. If you add more microinverters to an
existing system or replace a microinverter or the IQ Gateway, you can run a scan to detect the new
devices. To initiate a scan after you add new microinverters to an existing Enphase system, perform the
following steps.
1. Press the Device Scan button. The IQ Gateway begins a 15-minute scan to identify all of
the microinverters deployed at the site. The Microinverter Communications LED
flashes green during the scan. Alternatively, you can initiate a scan using Installer Toolkit.
2. Log into Enlighten to check for the new microinverter and use Array Builder to add the new
microinverter to the virtual array.
3. After the microinverter is detected, it is best to disable the scan. To do this, press the Envoy-
S Device Scan button again.

The number of devices
communicating is not equal to the
number expected (e.g., 0/12, 1/12,
