enphase IQBattery 5 Quick Install Manual

Q U I C K I N S T A L L G U I D E
Installing the IQ Battery 5
To install the Enphase IQ Battery 5 and the wall-mount bracket, read and follow all warnings and instructions in this guide. Safety warnings are listed at the
end of this guide. 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. Only Enphase certified installers shall install, troubleshoot, or replace the IQ Battery 5.
The IQ Battery system includes the battery cellpack with integrated IQ Microinverters and battery management system (BMS). The system requires
IQ System Controller for grid-tied and backup operations. The IQ Gateway inside IQ System Controller measures PV production, IQ Battery charge/discharge
power and home energy consumption, and it senses when it is optimal to charge or discharge the battery so that energy is stored when it is abundant and
used when it is scarce.
A. PREPARATION
A ) Make sure you have the following required Enphase items:
• One or more Enphase IQ Battery 5 and one IQ System Controller with
microgrid interconnect device (MID) functionality.
• The Enphase IQ Battery system requires an Internet connection
through the IQ Gateway in the IQ System Controller. Failure to maintain
an Internet connection may have an impact on the warranty.
See enphase.com/warranty
• The IQ Battery and IQ System Controller are all connected to IQ
Gateway and communicate using communication control cables. The
Enphase PV system communicates to IQ Gateway using PLC.
B ) Make sure you also have the following required items:
• Mounting location that is structurally suited to bear the weight of the
IQ Battery. Total weight for the IQ Battery 5, including the IQ Battery
unit, cover, and wall-mount bracket, is 78.9 kg (174 lbs).
✓
NOTE: The wall must contain blocked studs that can bear the
battery weight or can be of masonry or other suitable structure.
• Tools: Conduit (with fittings and fitting tools), drill, 4 mm pilot bit,
screwdriver, socket wrench, torque wrench, level, wire stripper, and
stud finder if installing on studs.
• Fasteners for wall-mount bracket and pedestal. Slots are 9.2 mm (0.36
in) for wall mount and 11.2 mm (inclined slots) for pedestal. Check with
a structural engineer and local standards for requirements.
• M8 lag bolts or screws: A minimum of three for single stud mounting and
four for dual stud mounting are required to mount the bracket on the wall.
• M6 screws: A minimum of two for single stud mounting and four for
dual stud mounting to fasten the top shield to the wall.
• Washers for use between fastener heads and wall-mount bracket.
• Copper conductors: 6 mm² to 30 mm² (11 mm (7/16 in) strip length)
copper conductors (rated at 90°C) for terminals.
• Control communications cables: Use Enphase recommended
cables, headers and also refer to local codes for any specific local
requirements.
• Conduit fittings: 20 mm, 25 mm or 32 mm (left and/or right side)
terminators are required for all installations, and IP55 conduit fittings
(terminators/raceway adapters) are needed when installing outdoors.
Enphase provides raceway adapters (sold separately) of varied lengths
as mentioned in later sections.
• Over current protection: The overcurrent protection in IQ Battery is not
branch circuit overcurrent protection and cannot be relied upon for
that purpose. The branch circuit overcurrent protection is located in IQ
System Controller or, when combining, in a separate combiner. See the
Enphase IQ System Controller Quick Install Guide for more information.
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) for handling lithium batteries as
required by local safety standards.
• Protective gloves for protection against sharp edges.
C ) Verify that main service is 230 V L-N.
✓
NOTE: The rated energy capacity of the battery is 4.96 kWh.
D ) Install the PV system and storage circuits into the IQ System Controller
as directed by the Enphase installation manuals.
