Device detection issues
If the Device communications LED lights are solid red, it may be a result of low
light levels. If there is not enough sunlight to power up the microinverters, they cannot
communicate with the IQ Gateway.
If there is sufficient daylight for the microinverters to power up, the issue may be that
the IQ Gateway Metered is having difficulty communicating over the power lines. To
troubleshoot this issue:
Check the Enphase Installer App to see which devices are not
•
communicating.
Check that the circuit breaker(s) for the PV array are in the "ON" position.
•
Verify that the PV modules are connected to the microinverters.
•
Verify the PV module DC voltage is within the allowable range for the microinverter.
•
c
Power production issues
If the Power production LED lights are solid red, check the Enphase Installer App to
see which microinverters are not producing:
• If none of the microinverters are producing power, there may be a grid or wiring
issue. First, verify that there is proper input voltage and frequency from the grid.
Next, check the breaker and wiring, starting at the switchboard.
If all of the non-productive microinverters are on the same branch, check the
•
breaker and wiring starting at the junction box for the affected branch.
If only one or scattered microinverters are not producing power, first check to see
•
that the AC connectors are fully seated in the IQ Cable connectors. Next, check
that each module is providing the required startup voltage for the microinverter.
A PV module that is failing or that is undersized may not generate enough power
for AC conversion.
d Internet connection issues
If you are using Wi-Fi and the Network communications LED remains off:
The WPS connection window may have timed out. Retry the connection steps.
•
Make sure that the broadband router is operational by checking that other devic-
•
es at the site can access the network.
Be aware that metal enclosures or obstructions impede wireless communication.
•
• If you cannot see your router or access point in the list on the IQ Gateway, or
cannot maintain a connection, it may be necessary to add a wireless repeater to
extend the network range.
If you are using Wi-Fi and the Network communications LED lights solid red, make sure
that the broadband router is connected to the Internet by checking that other devices
at the site can access the Internet.
If you are using the Enphase Mobile Connect modem and the Network communica-
tions LED remains off or lights solid red, see Troubleshooting in the Enphase Mobile
Connect Installation Guide.
For any connection method, you can troubleshoot network issues with the Enphase
Installer App by tapping the "Network" button, then "Diagnostic Tools".
If you replace the broadband router, configure the IQ Gateway Metered Wi-Fi settings
for the new Wireless Network Name (SSID) and password.

not specified by the manufacturer. Doing so may cause death or injury to
persons or damage to equipment.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Be aware that installation of this equipment
includes risk of a electric shock. If you wire the IQ Gateway Metered at the
sub-board, always de-energise the sub-board before beginning.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. Only qualified personnel should
troubleshoot, install, or replace the IQ Gateway Metered.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. Do not wire unused terminals or
terminal blocks on the IQ Gateway Metered.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. Only qualified personnel should
clean and service the IQ Gateway.
⚠
WARNING: Before installing or using the IQ Gateway Metered, read all
instructions and cautionary markings in the technical description and on the
IQ Gateway Metered.
⚠
WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. If installing the IQ Gateway Metered in
an enclosure, choose an area for installation where the ambient temperature
does not exceed 46ºC.
✓
NOTE: Do not install the CTs in a panel where they exceed 75% of the wiring
space of any cross-sectional area within the panel or refer to local standards
for guidance.
✓
NOTE: Perform all electrical installations in accordance with all national and
local electrical codes.
✓
NOTE: To ensure optimal reliability and to meet warranty requirements, the IQ
Gateway Metered must be installed according to the instructions in this guide.

PREPARATION
A ) Download the latest version of the Enphase Installer
App and open it to log in to your Enphase Installer App
account. With this app, you can connect to the IQ Gate-
way Metered to track system installation progress. To
download, go to https://enphase.com/installers/apps or
scan the QR code at right.
B ) Check the box for the following items:
IQ Gateway Metered
•
Two split-core current transformers (CTs) for production and
•
consumption metering
DIN rail for mounting
•
Quick Install Guide (this document)
•
C ) Check that there is enough space in the switchboard to install CTs.
Do not install the CTs in a panel where they exceed 75% of the wiring
space of any cross-sectional area within the panel.
D ) Install the IQ Gateway Metered in an IP54-rated, or better enclosure
with conduit attachment when installing outdoors. Do not drill
holes on the top of the enclosure or anywhere that allows moisture
ingress. Metallic enclosures may impair Wi-Fi signal strength. Use
an appropriately rated enclosure if installing the IQ Gateway Metered
indoors.
E ) If you are installing the IQ Gateway Metered in a multi-phase applica-
tion, make sure you have the following items:
• Additional CTs (CT-100-SPLIT-ROW) for multi-phase installations.
Make sure you have one CT for each phase monitored, for both
production and consumption.
• The IQ Gateway box contains a label to identify the line on which
a CT is installed. Stick a small label denoting the line on a CT and
wrap the corresponding bigger label on the end of the lead wire
after stripping, and install the CT on the appropriate line.
• A phase coupler. If installing on a three-phase site, install a phase
coupler on the load side of the overcurrent protection device. See
the Technical Brief on Phase Coupling for your region at
enphase.com/contact/support. Consult Enphase support for
compatible devices.
F ) Decide how to connect the IQ Gateway Metered to the Internet:
choose to use Wi-Fi, an Enphase Mobile Connect modem, or Ether-
net.
G ) Make sure you have the following optional items if needed:
Enphase Mobile Connect modem (order CELLMODEM-02)
•
Ethernet cable [802.3, Cat5E or Cat6, unshielded twisted pair
•
(UTP)]. Do not use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.
H ) Install the PV system as directed by the installation manuals.
I ) If an Enphase PV system is or will be installed at the site, create a
paper installation map to record device serial numbers and positions
in the array. You will scan this map later using Enphase Installer App
and your mobile device.
As you did with the microinverters (and Enphase AC Batteries, if in-
•
stalled), peel the removable label from the bottom of the IQ Gateway
Metered and affix it to the paper installation map.
Always keep a copy of the installation map for your records.
•
NOTE: If needed, you can find an installation map with any Enphase
Microinverter Quick Install Guide.
NOTE: RCD is recommended to be installed on-site for fault pro-
tection. Follow local regulations on installing RCD on-site with IQ
Gateway and IQ Series Microinverters.
