Pre-installation Checks
Review the following pre-installation checks before you install the IQ Gateway.
Download the Enphase Installer App
The Enphase Installer Toolkit is a mobile app for iOS and Android devices (smart
phone or tablet) that allows installers to configure the system while onsite,
eliminating the need for a laptop and improving installation efficiency.
•
Download the latest version of the Enphase
Installer Toolkit mobile app and open it to log in to
your Enlighten account. With this app, you can
connect to the Envoy to track system installation
progress. To download, go to

Enphase IQ Gateway Quick Install Guide
Plan the Power Connection
You must hard wire the IQ Gateway indoors or in an NRTL certified, NEMA type 3R (or better)
enclosure. Use an appropriately rated enclosure if hard-wiring indoors. Make sure that the site is
near the AC switchboard in which the IQ Gateway can be hardwired. Do not use a power board.
Use a Phase Coupler for a Three-Phase Site
If you are installing the IQ Gateway in a three-phase application, the power line communication signal
must be "coupled" between the three phases to allow the Envoy to communicate with all the
microinverters in the system. Install a phase coupler on the load side of the over-current protection
device. See the Enphase Technical Brief on Phase Coupling for your region at enphase.com/support.
Consult Enphase support for compatible devices.
