enabled or performing as expected, flashing when an operation is in
progress, or solid amber when troubleshooting with Installer Toolkit is
required. For a legend of all LED states, see Troubleshooting

PREPARATION
A ) 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-S
to track system installation progress. To download, go to
enphase.com/toolkit or scan the QR code at right.
B ) Check the box for the following items:
Enphase Envoy-S Metered gateway
•
Two split-core current transformers (CTs) for production and
•
consumption metering
Length of DIN rail for mounting
•
Ferrite bead to attach to your Ethernet Cable, if used
•
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 Envoy-S 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 appro-
priately rated enclosure if installing the Envoy-S indoors.
E ) If you are installing the Envoy-S in a multi-phase application, make
sure you have the following items:
• Additional CTs (CT-100-SPLIT) for multi-phase installations. Make
sure you have one CT for each phase monitored, for both produc-
tion and consumption.
• A phase coupler. Install a phase coupler on the load side of the
over-current protection device. See the Technical Brief on Phase
Coupling for your region at enphase.com/support. Consult En-
phase support for compatible devices.
F ) Decide how to connect the Envoy-S to the Internet: choose to use
Wi-Fi, an Enphase Mobile Connect modem, or Ethernet.
G ) Make sure you have the following optional items, if needed:
Enphase Mobile Connect™ modem (order CELLMODEM-02)
•
Ethernet over power line communication (PLC) bridge with Ether-
•
net cables [order EPLC-02 (EU), EPLC-03 (UK) or EPLC-04 (AU/NZ)]
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 Installer Toolkit and
your mobile device.
As you did with the microinverters (and Enphase AC Batteries, if
•
installed), peel the removable label from the bottom of the Envoy-S
and affix it to the paper installation map.
Always keep a copy of the installation map for your records.

Microinverter Quick Install Guide.
