  • Page 5: Safety

    Only qualified personnel should troubleshoot, install, or replace the IQ Gateway. Do not wire unused terminals or terminal blocks on the IQ Gateway. Do not use Enphase equipment in a manner not specified by the DANGER: manufacturer. Doing so may cause death or injury to persons, or damage to Risk equipment.
  • Page 6: The Iq Gateway

    When used with Enphase devices, the IQ Gateway can control grid management functions and monitor PV production and site consumption. When used with non- Enphase PV systems, it can collect production and consumption data, but it does not control grid management functions.
  • Page 7: Installation Planning And Preparation

    The IQ Gateway incorporates power line and Internet communications functions. One "side" of the IQ Gateway communicates with the Enphase devices through power lines at the site. The other "side" of the IQ Gateway communicates with Enphase Installer App over the Internet.
  • Page 8: Pre-Installation Checks

    If you are installing in a multiphase application, the power line communication signal must be “coupled” between the phases to allow the IQ Gateway to communicate with all the Enphase devices in the system. Install a phase coupler on the load side of the over-current protection device.

    App.enphaseenergy.com. Once you have registered the system and successfully installed the IQ Gateway, Enphase Installer App sets up an account for the site owner. When you complete the registration and installation, Enphase sends account information to the site owner so that they can log in to the Enphase Installer App website and view system performance.
  • Page 21: Iq Gateway Operation

    IQ Gateway Operation IQ Gateway Displays and Controls You can track system installation progress with the Enphase Installer App mobile app. The LEDs on the IQ Gateway are solid green when a function is enabled or performing as expected, flashing when an operation is in progress, or solid amber when troubleshooting with Installer App is required.
  • Page 22: Led Behaviour At Initial Start Up

    The IQ Gateway identifies each device by its unique serial number. If you add more devices to an existing system or replace an Enphase Microinverter or Enphase AC Battery, you can run a scan to detect the new devices. To initiate a scan after you add new devices to an existing Enphase system, perform the following steps.

    The IQ Gateway connects to these servers using their DNS names. If you add firewall rules for IQ Gateway reporting, Enphase recommends using the DNS names rather than the underlying IP addresses. This is because the IP addresses are subject to change without notice.
  • Page 36: Replacing An Iq Gateway

    • Refer servicing to qualified personnel. If Enphase Customer Support authorises an IQ Gateway replacement (RMA), perform the following steps. DANGER! Risk of electrocution! CTs must be installed with no current flowing in the sensed circuit. Always install CT wires in the terminal blocks before energising the sensed circuit.
